Welcome Home

Hi All! I have a little card to share with you today that I made for visitors at my church. Our current theme is "You are home." It's all about being part of a community. So in addition to the little gift we regularly give visitors, we are going to tuck in a little note. I thought the Welcome Home sentiment from Close To My Heart's Housewarming Hello stamp set was perfect for this project.


So let's take a look at the card:


At 3 1/2 x 5 inches, this is a smaller than standard notecard that I cut from White Daisy cardstock. I stamped "Welcome Home" in Sunset ink. For the panel, I layered Pear cardstock with patterned paper from the Penelope collection. I stamped the house image in Sapphire ink. The green banner is the backside of the blue striped paper, and the yellow floral banner is made from the zip strip at the top of the paper sheet. I punched the hearts out of white glitter paper that is part of the CTMH Gold Glitter paper pack, and colored one with my ShinHan Golden Yellow marker. I adhered them to the card (and each other) with Liquid Glass.

Here's a collage of close-ups:


I hope you like this little card. The house image is fun to color and the little flower is great for accents. 

And if you happen to be in DC on a Sunday, pop in to National Community Church--Georgetown and say hello!

Meanwhile, have a wonderfully creative day!

My Peeps Offering....

Hi All! Just wanted to share a couple of little Easter baskets I made for my kids.


 There's a great tutorial for this basket here. I changed the dimensions up just a little, and managed to get one basket from a single sheet of double-sided patterned paper.  I used papers from Close To My Heart's Penelope collection for both boxes. (Love these Spring-y colors and patterns.) The sentiment and Peeps bunnies are from the My Kind of Peeps stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the Peeps, which I added to mini clothes pins from my stash and clipped to the baskets. The Peeps and sentiments are stamped on Close To My Heart's White Daisy cardstock in Canary, Pixie, Thistle, and Pear inks.

Here are a couple of collages of close ups:



I added the handles with brads and then covered them with gold and silver puffy stickers. (I used my ShinHan Marigold marker to color in the center of the silver flower puffy stickers.) I also added a back to the bunny, and used Diamond Stickles to add highlights.

Here's a second look:


Hope you enjoyed this little project!

Have a wonderfully Happy EASTER!!!
