Home for the Holidays

I set a reminder on my Outlook calendar to remind me to check out the new Papertrey Home Made set and template that is being released today. When I went in to see it I realized that some of the pieces of the Boards and Beams and Home for the Holidays sets would work with them as well.  That reminded me that I haven’t played with either of those sets for a long time so I pulled them out to use for the SCS Featured Stamper challenge today.  Dawn Easton (TreasureOiler) is our inspiration artist and here is a link to the project that inspired me.

I stamped the trees on the left side of the watercolor paper, masked them and stamped the house.  I masked the house and stamped trees on the right side.  I painted the house with reinkers and stamped the wreaths on the door and windows.  Sad that I couldn’t line them up evenly.  Duh!  I stamped the roof line with the snow border images and then added white craft ink along the roof top, window sills and ground area and embossed with white embossing powder.  I sponged the sky with blue and added a little cut out snowman to the front yard.  I assembled the card and added a multi loop bow. I finished by adding a touch of glue and white Flower Soft to the ground area.

Have a great week!

Kittie,
I just love your winter scenes! I got a lot of great tips from you last year for creating snowy scenes. Looking forward to your designs this year!

Take care and STAY POSITIVE!

I love it ALL, Kittie! After spotting it on SCS ... I knew I had to 'find' it here. This is very reminiscent of my MIL's house .. where DH was raised. She even has a variety of evergreen trees along the back .. it's such a wonderful scene, Kittie!

WOW!! Another FAB creation by Krafty Kittie!! I love the depth of those warm reds. How cozy your scene feels and those wreaths are great. LOVE the homey feeling, gorgeous, multiloop bow that tops the whole thing off.

As always, you do the most wonderful winter scenes. This is no exception Kittie! A very beautiful card and your bow is absolutely perfect. The little snowman is so adorable in the front yard. I always wanted to build a snowman on Christmas day. It ain't happenin' here LOL! Guess if I want that snowman, I'll have to make a trip up north.

This is just lovely Kittie. Also thanks for reminding me to check Papertrey today. I want to make the gingerbread houses to give cookies in.

Have a great Sunday,
