From Our House to Yours

Thank you for joining me on a very exciting blog hop! Earlier this month it was so much fun to share a card on Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights. Visitors to the Highlight are encouraged to vote for their favourite projects and then the winners are invited to take part in a hop together, which is what we are doing here.

I am thrilled to have been voted in the Top Ten this month to enable me to join this hop today. You can see the card I shared in the Highlight HERE. I want to say a big Thank You to everyone who voted for my card, I really appreciate it. So, today is the day that I am hopping with the other winners. You may be starting here or have come from the person before me in the hop – that is fine! You can sill hop all the way around and not miss one. The list is at the end of this post. 

The theme for the hop is encouragement. Sending a card to someone can really make a difference to their day whether it is to say Get Well Soon or even a simple Thank You. It is great to be on the receiving end of Happy Post and it gives me a heartwarming feeling to send those Happy Post envelopes and to drop them into the letter box. 

The stamp set I have used today is from the Autumn Winter catalogue and, although it includes Christmas sentiments, it is perfect for sending messages to friends and loved ones. From Our House to Yours has darling little mix and match house images to construct striking images with. Then, the sentiment 'from our house to yours' on the front of the card sets up the most important bit of the card which is the handwritten message on the inside.

I have stamped on Whisper White card and mixed and matched Merry Merlot, Night of Navy and Pretty Peacock ink for the houses.  The stamps are photopolymer to make lining up the images easy. The trees are stamped with Soft Suede and Pear Pizzazz. Gray Granite card is added as a neutral background to the colour scheme and I have used the Subtle and Brick & Mortar embossing folders to add the texture to the layers. I have sprinkled a few Happiness Blooms Enamel dots to finish off the cards.

Cute, fun, versatile cards that are an easy way to send a meaningful message to someone who needs to hear from you. Isn't that what card making is all about?
