Humble Home for Freshly Made Sketches 657

After a lovely family morning at the playground, I got into my craft room this afternoon. Perfect day, right? For inspiration, I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches for a simple Christmas card.

 


I used the Humble Home bundle as a starting point. I'm still trying to make friends with it!

I stamped the gingerbread house image but masked off the gable decoration so I could stamp the tiny wreath into the space instead. I coloured it using Stampin' Blends in Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and Cherry Cobbler before punching it out. 

I made the tags using a retired tag topper punch and retired corner rounder punch. Some things you've just got to keep in your craft library! The backing tag is cut from paper in the Take A Bow stack.


To create the diagonal of the sketch, I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing folder at an angle. 

Before attaching the house, on dimensionals, I stamped in some stars (or maybe snow) in Granny Apple Green. This little gem of a stamp is from Reindeer Fun. The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green to match the card base and cut with a banner from Stylish Shapes dies.

The embellishments are Basic Rhinestones coloured with a dark Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend.

This is a straightforward card you could easily reproduce in multiples for your Christmas mail out and with a spot of colouring in, was fun to make.
