Coming Home for Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop where our theme this month is the August to December Mini Catalogue. I have chosen the fabulous Coming Home stamp set, Home Together Dies and the Trimming the Town dsp to make my card. If you have joined me from the talented Jessica Brigden you are very welcome.

To recreate the Coming Home card you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Shaded Spruce 4½” by 2 ½”
Whisper White 4” by 3”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” Rounded upper right corner
DSP strip 5 ½” by ½” – I chose the Most Wonderful Time dsp
DSP strip 5” by ¾” – I chose Trimming the Town dsp
Scrap Whisper White card

I began by using the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die cut a scalloped rectangle from the Shaded Spruce and small Whisper White pieces.

I stamped the small snowflakes from the Coming Home stamp set in Pool Party ink across the top of the die cut Whisper White piece and mounted it onto the Shaded Spruce die cut panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next I die cut some of the adorable houses from the Trimming the Town dsp using the Home Together Dies. I love it when the die set co-ordinate with some of the dsp images, so easy to make a quick card. The houses were glued to the stamped rectangle with the same liquid adhesive.

The large tree from the Coming Home stamp set was stamped onto scrap Whisper White card in Early Espresso ink and coloured using the Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede Blends Makers It was added to the stamped panel on Dimensionals.

Using the Banner Triple Punch I flagged both ends of the DSP strips and glued them to the front of the Pool Party card base using the liquid glue. These were 2 scrap pieces that happened to co-ordinate with the colour combo I was using. You can use anything you happen to have.

Using a Paper Trimmer I cut off the left hand side of the scalloped Rectangle piece and added it to the card front with the liquid glue. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped onto the card front with Misty Moonlight ink and a trio of Adhesive-backed Snowflakes added to complete the card.
