“From our home to yours” is a sentiment that is often seen during the winter holidays. House cards are one of my favorite types of cards to make. The cards shown in today’s blog were made using new Creative Expressions Craft Dies by Sue Wilson. To die cut a large solid die like the house […]
Warm and cozy is this small brick house with its white ornate Victorian trim as light streams through its windows. This is the third house luminaria in my blog posts using a battery powered candle.

Building off of the red four-square house, this four-panel card becomes a wrap-around screen for a battery powered candle. This is the seventh house card in my series of “A Week of Christmas Houses” using Poppy Stamps 2020 Winter House Pop-Up Easel die set.
It’s a cold and blustery day where snow is covering everything. You’ve walked to your neighbor’s house down the lane to drop off a bit of Christmas cheer and now you’re walking back to your home all aglow in the afternoon sun.

This is the feeling I hope the recipient of this card will have when they open and display the card.
This project uses the new 2020 Winter House Pop-Up Easel die set by Poppy Stamps.

Going home to be greeted by family and friends is a Christmas tradition since the mid-1800s.

Victorian mansions of Italianate design fit so well into the Currier and Ives world of 19th Century images of Christmas, suggesting the warm and good cheer to be found inside such homes. This card was made with Anna Griffin dies and stamps as well as printed card base and envelope. While the mansion is intended […]
One Christmas I got to experience Christmas in San Francisco with its hillside houses. Another Christmas I was driving through up-state New York on snowy streets where the houses are all on hillsides. This card evokes these memories for me. It took several tries experimenting with the three dies in this Hero Arts die set. […]
All is calm, all is bright until you shake-up the snow globe. This traditional style snow globe easel card is made with PoppyStamps/Memory Box die set with the sentiment coming from a Tonic Studios die. This was my first go at using these dies, so I followed the package example for the assembly and easel […]
