Morning all!
I'm over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with a couple of card projects featuring a new take on a real festive favourite.
It's pretty well known among my crafting friends and those on my Christmas card list that I have a slight obsession with tiny houses and winter villages.
Well, one of my absolute favourite die sets to use when in the festive making mood is the Tiny Houses set from MFT.
It's a retired set, but luckily still in the store if you missed it the first time around.
Paper: Crate Paper - Snow & Cocoa (r)
Stamps: Concord & 9th - Home for the Holidays
Dies: Concord & 9th - Home for the Holidays Stacks, Hero Arts - Infinity Nesting Circle, MFT - Grounding Elements (r), MFT - Tiny Houses (r), The Greetery - Hoopla Round
For this year's outing, I wanted to create a little wintry scene inside the smallest of Hoopla Round dies from The Greetery.
When I'm not using US A2 compatible dies, I usually reach for my favourite card blanks from Papermania - the white A6 pack in this case.
The white is just the perfect tone, not too cool or grey. Just a fresh, clean white.
The Tiny Houses are great for using up scraps and off cuts - including small pieces of that all too precious glitter card!
Once the wintry scenes were created, I grabbed some coordinating patterned paper for the background to my cards and then used some lovely sentiments from the Home for the Holidays stamp set from Concord & 9th.
I really could do with more sentiments in that Papercute font - if anyone's listening. ;)
Until next time, happy crafting!
