I'm sharing a sweet trio of cards today featuring a fabulous new sentiment set from the release paired up with a couple of previously released items!


For these cards, I used the new Holiday Messages stamp set. I stamped the larger word in different shades of Pawsitively Saturated inks, but stamped them off once on scrap paper before stamping on the cardbases - this gave a soft, almost watercolored effect that was super fun! I stamped the secondary sentiments underneath in crisp black to set them off nicely. I then rested a tiny die cut house on top of each sentiment, mixing and matching the colors with the sentiment. I used Holiday Color Blend cardstock to cut out a house from Winter Village dies, and a tiny heart from Mini Hearts die set. I also added some sparkly clear Nuvo drops over the hearts. Finished off by rounding one corner, and adding a fun detail with an image from Ornate Borders and Edges stamp set, stamped in the same color and same way as the large sentiments. A few Clear Pawsitively Dazzling gems finish them off! Here are more photos and close ups of these finished cards:









I also posted these cards a couple days ago using this release - you can check them out HERE if you are looking for more inspiration:

  30. These delightful house cards are bringing tears to my eyes. Right now, we are in the final stages of building the house that has been 10+ years in the making, and once complete, my horses will finally be home where they belong once again! I have been dreaming of stealing a few minutes to make some super-special cards related to this monumental blessing from the Lord, and you've just shown me that where there's a will, there's a way... and it can still be done beautifully! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!
