Christmas cottage card - Holiday Home

I've started making Christmas cards, inspired by some dies I purchased recently.

This little house in the Holiday Home set is one of my favourites and I love the greeting, too.

The wreath around the edge plus the snowflakes finished it off nicely.

I think I'll have trouble giving this one away ...

Supplies:

Holiday Home polymer stamps - Stampin' Up

Real Red, Marina Mist, Whisper White and Hunter Green cardstock - Stampin Up

Small Snowflake dies - Impression Obsession

Wreath die - Tupelo Circle - Memory Box

Uniball Signo white pen

Wondrous Wreath Christmas

The Wondrous Wreath stamps and Wonderful Wreath Framelits dies are so much fun!

I had a great evening with friends stamping out a series of Christmas cards.

I am loving the Hardwood background stamp, which I bought recently, I'm sure I'll be using this a lot in the new year, too, for all sorts of cards, especially now that I've got the newer larger Stampin' Scrub (at last!) which makes it so much easier to clean the large background stamps!

For this card I used the retired Polka Dot background and a retired border punch.

And here's a card similar to the first one, using Melon Mambo instead of Real Red.

I love the way Soft Suede and Baked Brown Sugar work together on these cards.

Colours: Soft Suede, Baked Brown Sugar, Pear Pizazz, Old Olive, Real Red, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

Stamps: Wondrous Wreath, Good Greetings; 

(the Merry Christmas on the first card is from a retired set)

Dies: Wonderful Wreath Framelits die
