From Our House To Yours

Christmas, Winter

This card was so easy to make.  And as the Holidays grow near, pretty and easy are what I always want.  The Sentiment was made using my computer and the Word program.  I cut the top sentiment and raised it using pop dots.  I layered everything over a piece of blue cardstock that I put dot of glue and sprinkled glitter over them.  I die cut the Brevilla Houses and cut another using blue and another using red cardstock.  My windows were cut using yellow cardstock and the windows and were glued in place.  I made sure both doors were creased so they would remain open.  Then glitter was added to the roof line.  The mini fence was placed in front of the houses and I layered torn paper to replicate mounds of snow which also had glitter added.  Another computer generated sentiment and this card was finished.  The inside was left plain as I wanted room to write a Christmas note. 

It's never too early to start making Christmas cards and I'm happy to have another card created and waiting for the holidays. 

Happy 9 months til Christmas!

  8. This is an inspiring Christmas Card. Although I have had enough of winter. I do like to begin thinking about next Christmas usually in January right after the New Year. Thank you for using the mini fence die, I was wondering if it would work with the houses and it is perfect. The fence die is going on my list, the houses are already on the list. My list is getting longer and longer every day of the blitz. Thank you for sharing today.

  29. Oh my goodness, Christmas? Ok, I understand getting a head start, but I’ll use this die for Springtime cards! Although I will admit, I’m pinning your card so I can copy it when it gets closer to the holidays.

  30. Those cute little houses look adorable with the cute little fence! And better that the snow is there than here. Enough winter, but a very nice card, nonetheless.

  31. I love this die! It will be great to use for so many ideas. You’re right – it’s never too early to start on Christmas cards.

  32. Love the christmas card you made, and that will be the but for most people with this die, but I think also at cards for New Home, one in colour, the rest of the houses white or grey, … wil surely be nice too.
    So, like most of your dies: a lot of possibilities.
    Thanks for sharing your ideas!

  35. I think this row of houses and the little fence could easily be transformed into a summer scene just as easily by adding little flowers and any number of summer season die cuts to the card. So. . . the versatility here is obvious and makes the dies even more of a “must have!” They’re on my list for sure.

  39. I adore this die. The way winter will not leave here in the Midwest I am thinking it is Christmas time again:)

  51. I am often stuck for house designs when I’m working on a card. Often they are too quirky for me ! But these are lovely & would be in & out of my workbox all the time. Nice to see a wintery design – lovely

  52. I really love this die as it is so versatile. I can use it as edging around a box too. So very cute!

  54. Such a lovely winter scene..nice card to have made ahead for next season! I can envision this for all 4 seasons though and bet it would be lovely in a frame!
