Humble Home Bundle for the New at SU! Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today, I am participating in the New at SU! blog hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative papercrafting ideas to share with you to get you crafting. We are creating projects using bundles or suites from either the September to December Mini Catalogue or from the Online Exclusives offering to highlight how great bundles and suites are!

I've chosen to use the Humble Home bundle which comprises a stamp set and a coordinating punch. Samples using these products are showcased on the front of the Mini Catalogue...and I knew I needed them as soon as I saw the cover!

I used a square die from the Stylish Shapes set to create an aperture in a Thick Basic White layer and embossed it with a the Snowflake Sky 3-d folder to create texture. I used the same folder on the Pool Party background layer.

Using the Humble Home punch I cut several hearts from Early Espresso card and lined them up at ground level behind the square aperture. They create a neat fence-like border which echoes the scalloped detail on the gingerbread house. The house itself is white heat embossed on Early Espresso card and cropped out using the punch.

The aperture is sealed with Window Sheet, surrounded with strips of Foam Adhesive Sheet, filled with some of the adorable White Loose Snowflakes and backed with the embossed Pool Party layer before adhering it to an Early Espresso layer. The snowflakes are a perfect filler for a shaker card. They are just the right size.

The sentiment is white heat embossed and cropped out with another of the Stylish Shapes dies. Inadvertently I added retired silver trim behind the sentiment, but the narrow Silver Trim would work equally well (and is not retired!). The Frosted Forest dies include some wonderful tree silhouettes which I couldn't resist adding to the rear of my house and then the final touch was a trio of faceted gems. Love their sparkle.

I hope that you have been inspired by my project today. Continuing along the hop to the others will provide you with even more project ideas - you are currently with me, Furry Cat Designs by Karen Henderson - but before you hop on to the next post, please take a moment to leave a comment. We love reading your comments!
