I needed to make a congratulations on your new home card recently and I pulled out my Home Builder punch and got to work. I hope you all have already gotten this punch because it just sold out a week ago. It was originally in last years Sept.-Dec. mini catalog. It's adorable and I will be keeping this one in my collection for sure. The stamp set is still available so look for it in the Last Chance category in the online store. It's a great price! I'm sharing this one over at The Alphabet Challenge where they are on the letter H for Home.
I started with a piece of black and white dotted retired Pattern Party DSP. Next I added a Basic White band down the center that is embossed with the Forever Plaid embossing folder. I used Pool Party to cut a rectangle with the Textured Notes dies for the house background.
I knew what the new house looked like so I wanted to match the colors as closely as I could. I punched the house base from Gray Granite, stamped the roof and windows in Memento black and fussy cut them. The door is stamped in Cherry Cobble and also fussy cut. I out all the pieces together and popped the house on dimensionals.
I had to search through my stamp sets to find a "congratulations" that would fit the rectangle and not overpower the house. I found the perfect one in the Extraordinary Flora stamp set. Then I popped the big panel on dimensionals.
4 black enamel dots finish off the corners for the last detail.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
