Monday, Monday…it’s Monday and time to head to work! Or to the craft room. Or – in Finny’s case – to the groomer!! Hopefully he’ll drop off a whole DOG’S worth of fur – I mean…he does it all over the house so….ought to be easy at the groomer, right?!? 🤦♀️
My card today is another sneak peek from the Sep – Dec 2024 Mini Catalog! It’s a punch bundle – called Humble Home – and it’s super cute! Then I pulled a couple of papers from the A Little Festive Specialty DSP! And it all came together to make a clean and simple thank you card. Take a look-see:
The layout for the one is from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week.
I did a quick video on how to make this one, which is posted on Instagram. You can see it on YouTube right here!
I started by stamping the Humble Home “Thank You” sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink five times on a Smoky Slate panel. I used a straight edge to help keep them lined up. Tip: Stamp the top – then the bottom – then the center (there IS one under the DSP on the card!) – then stamp between the three images. THAT helps to keep them equally spaced! 🙂
I embossed the panel in the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of my Smoky Slate card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using Liquid Glue – I adhered two pieces of A Little Festive DSP to the card front.
Using the second-from-largest Stylish Shapes circle die, I cut out a Pool Party circle. I splattered the circle using the Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blend – striking the blender against the edge of an ink pad. Then I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the roof image from the Humble Home set in Misty Moonlight ink. I added the brick house image in stamped-off-once Smoky Slate.
I stamped the door and windows image in Misty Moonlight.
I stamped the same image (door and windows) in Pool Party ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock. Then I used the Humble Home Builder Punch to cut out the windows. I adhered the two little windows to the house – right smack over the stamped ones. Instant window trim! 🙂
I used the punch again to cut out the house itself. Then one more time to punch out a little Cajun Craze heart.
I adhered the heart to the house with a little Liquid Glue, then popped the whole thing onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a second Humble Home sentiment in Pool Party ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. Above it, I stamped the roof in Misty Moonlight ink.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got a stamped heart – from Humble Home – in Cajun Craze – on the front…
…and more A Little Festive Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Oh – the Humble Home is a bit of a fly-over and…I almost DID fly-over it! But – the stamp set has Christmas – and thank you – and new home sentiments in it – and we ALL love a good punch bundle, right?! So cute! A Little Festive DSP has regular 12″ x 12″ sheets of DSP – like these beautiful patterns – PLUS a couple of sheets of die cuts and frames for all your projects! Very handy and very fun! 🙂
I hope you like!

CHECKOUT THIS AWESOME FUNDRAISER!
The Grand Chapter of Iowa Order of the Eastern Star is holding a fundraiser for Retrieving Freedom – a organization that trains Service dogs for Veterans and Autistic children!
You can lend your support to this great organization – AND maybe win this beautiful quilt – designed by my friend and teammate Julie Johnston…
…by purchasing raffle tickets!
– Tickets are $1 each and you can purchase as many as you wish
– The quilt measures about 61″ x 73″
– The quilt was “commissioned” by the Grand Chapter of Iowa Order of the Eastern Star
– Julie designed the quilt using symbols and colors chosen by the Worthy Grand Matron, Mary Reicks, and Worthy Grand Patron Joe Ried
– One of the symbols is songbirds, so Julie took photos of 14 Iowa songbirds, printed them on fabric, and wove them into the design. There are 14 different bird photos – one in each square of the quilt!
– The other major symbol is bicycles and fabric incorporating them is part of the field of the quilt
If you’d like to purchase tickets to support this great cause – AND maybe win that quilt! – please send Julie an e-mail at: jg441157j5x@natel.net
