Humble Home Christmas Card

This card is filled with all sorts of wonderful new products from the 2024 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog. I am loving the Humble Home bundle for many reasons--first, I love punch bundles in general as they are so easy to use and beginner friendly. Secondly, this bundle is so versatile--it is great for "welcome to the neighborhood" card, great for realtor cards, great for thank you cards and as I've used it here, for a holiday card. I know everyone loves the new peppermint embellishments, as they sold out in just hours after they went live for customers. Not to worry, they will be back in a week or two. If you get lost making this card, be sure to watch my Facebook Live below for tips, and join us every Monday at 1 pm PST for more cardmaking fun.

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

1. Real Red cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 11" scored on the long side at 5 1/2", scrap to cut backing of the house using Greetings of the Season dies
2. Basic White cardstock-- 4" by 5 1/4"  for the inside, and a scrap for behind the house
3. Basic Beige cardstock--need about a 3" by 3" piece4
4. Snowy Scene DSP--2 1/2" by 5 1/4"
5. Stamp Set--Humble Home
6. Dies--Greetings of the Season 
7. Punch--Humble Home
8. Ink--Real Red and Crumb Cake
9.Real Red & White Adhesive Backed Peppermints
10. Real Red & White Baker's Twine--14"
11. Stampin' Write Markers in Real Red and Pecan Pie
12. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Take Your Pick Tool,  Regular Dimensionals, Cut and Emboss Machine, Glue Dot

Let's start by folding your card base along the scoring line then opening it up and cut out a piece as below. Cut down along the fold 1 1/2" then turn the card 90 degrees and on the front cut across at 1 1/2" to meet it.

Now place the inside piece in the card (don't attach just yet) and stamp the top sentiment above the line where you cut out the Real Red part. Easiest way to do this is to close up the card and stamp the upper sentiment like that. Then open the card and stamp the Merry Christmas.as below. Now attach this to the inside of your card.

                                   
Time to make our house. Stamp the house in Crumb Cake on Basic Beige and punch it out with the Humble Home punch. Color with Real Red marker (or Blend) as below (under the roof, the fireplace and under the door and windows). Color the eaves and the top and bottom of the windows with Pecan Pie Marker. Attach the white die cut to the Real Red one then place the house on top using Dimensionals--notice I strategically placed the right eave so that it covers the hole on the die cut. Cut the twine in half and tie a double bow and use a Glue Dot to adhere it to the card. 

Attach the bottom only of the red die cut to the front of your card using Dimensionals and you are done. Here's another view of the finished card.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
