There's just something about being Home for the Holidays, isn't there? Thus, that's the theme (and feeling) we're celebrating at Jingle Belles this fortnight. That means we're asking you to make a holiday card that includes a House, Housing-like materials (wood-grain paper, a brick embossing folder), or the word "Home". Or, you know, if you're feeling really overachievery, you could do all three! Here's my card; spoiler alert: I did not do all three, lol!
As a cardmaker who sometimes feels silly saving all my off-cuts of patterned paper and cardstock, this design is a little bit of a triumph because, apart from the 5.5" square cardbase, it's made entirely of scraps! I used both dies from Penny Black's Trees and Hills set; Both curvy dies from MFT's Stitched Basic Edges 2; and the house, fence, trees and snowflakes from Spellbinders' Winter Label Motifs set. The diecut flag sentiment is also Spellbinders and was in my leftover diecuts box, glued up and ready to roll.
Be sure to head over to Jingle Belles to see Stephanie's beautiful card and link up your own HOME-made masterpiece. JB2520: Home for the Holidays runs until 6pm (Eastern) on Wednesday, October 8th.
