It was such fun being able to hold a couple of small, socially distanced classes this week and so lovely to see some of my lovely crafting friends and catch up with their news. I decided to kick classes off by using the very versatile Coming Home stamp set and Home Together dies.
To recreate the new Coming Home card you will need
Gray Granite card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored on the long side at 4⅛”
Gray Granite – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Whisper White – 4 ¼” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Scarp Whisper White, Poppy Parade and Misty Moonlight

This card was CASE’d from my lovely upline Mikaela Titheridge – check out her original here – with a few tweaks of my own.
We embossed the Gray Granite layer using the Brick and Mortar embossing folder and glued it to the Gray Granite card base.
I had die cut ahead of time the stitched rectangle using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The ladies stamped the medium and small house onto the rectangle in Gray Granite ink and added the panel to the card front.
The larger house and the small tree were stamped in the same ink and die cut using the Home Together dies. The following Blends were used to colour in the die cut house and tree – Gray Granite, Just Jade, Poppy Parade, So Saffron, Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue. The house was them added to the card front on Dimensionals.
I had die cut the heart for the ladies and the words ‘hooray and welcome’ from the Well Written dies. The ladies trimmed off the HO of hooray and the OME of welcome and glued the o’s one on top of the other to create the word HOME. The word New came from the Well Said stamp set – -time for a NEW adventure and was stamped on scrap Whisper White and trimmed out with scissors. To complete the card we added a White Baker’s Twine bow.
To recreate the row of cars card you will need:
Thick Whisper White card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored on the long side at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Misty Moonlight – 5¾” by 4” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5¾” by 1½”
Poppy Parade – 6” by 1 ½”

I made this card for the son of a friend who has just passed his driving test.
We embossed the Misty Moonlight panel using the brick and Mortar embossing folder and added it to the Thick Whisper White card front.
The car were stamped across the thin strip of Whisper White card in Gray Granite ink leaving space to add the final card after it had been stamped, die cut and coloured.
The Poppy Parade border was cut using the Ornate Borders dies and added to the back of the stamped layer. The whole strip was then added to the card front.
We stamped the sentiment from the Well Said stamp set on a scrap strip of Whisper White in Misty Moonlight ink. The negative scallop from the Poppy Parade border was added as a little pop of colour. To finish we wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the sentiment and tied it in a bow.
To recreate the Snowy House card you will need:
Just Jade card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored on the long side at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Misty Moonlight – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside – rounded upper left corner – one for the inside and one for the outside

The final card is a Christmas card – yay…… We used a blending brush (you could use a wedge of sponge or a dauber) to add Balmy Blue ink to one of the Whisper White panel. The panel was then added to the Misty Moonlight layer.
We stamped the house and large tree in Gray Granite ink onto scrap Whisper White card and die cut them. They were coloured in using the same Blends Markers.
The houses were positioned on the card front and snowflakes were stamped around the roof before the house and tree were stuck down with Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.
A piece of Poppy Parade ribbon was wrapped around the layer and tied in a bow. The whole panel was then added to the Just Jade card front.

I hope you like the cards as much as we do
I made some cut little treat boxes for the ladies using the same bundle. Aren’t they cute?
