A Pretty New Home, a Teapot and 10% off !

Hi Everyone! I have two cards to share with you today:

I made this card for the Color Challenge over on Split Coast as well as the Double Dare Challenge I do with a few friends on SCS.

The color challenge was to use Pomegranate, Certainly Celery and Wild Wasabi. I am presently on vacation and have limited supplies with me (!) so the card stock is Wild Wasabi and I used colors as close as I could to the challenge to color the house.

Francie G was the hostess of the Double Dare challenge this week and her instructions were to make a card with an outdoor scene. You can see all the challenge cards here.

I needed a card to send to some friends that just moved into a new home - so I inked up my new PTI set Boards and Beams - I just LOVE this house stamp. I masked the fence and stamped the tree over the mask so it looks like it's behind the fence.

I used one of the dies from the Spellbinders Tag Trio to cut and dry emboss around the sentiment. I mounted it to the card with foam dimensionals.

I made this card for the Teapot Tuesday challenge Mothermark (Cindy) has on her blog every Tuesday. She shows you a teapot from her collection to inspire you to make a card.I am on vacation so don't have ALL my supplies (!) and didn't have any stars with me - so I improvised and used a stamp from Artful Inkables Dandie Sunburst set that looks like a star or maybe fireworks (?!!).

This fun stamp set is a new release and is available now - Kristin is offering a 10% discount during July on all her sets so be sure to check it all out here!

I folded a cute banner strip under my sentiment that I learned from Lauren Meader at a class I took of hers recently at The Paper Tree in Manchester, NH. You just score 2 lines on each end close together then fold one down and one out - and cut the ends as shown. It makes a nicely popped up sentiment and looks kind of festive I think!

Thank you for stopping by!
