I needed a housewarming / Welcome to your new home card for a dear friend and I knew that the Trimming the Town designer paper would be perfect!!
In my mind I could see this cute scene with the roadway, little red car, the grassy hills and all the die cut houses! I thought that a slimline card (4″ x 8-1/2″) would work well and it did! It fits perfectly into a business size envelope!
Using the “hillside” die in the Coming Home Bundle #155144, I cut several layers of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and layered them onto the base card to form hills of green grass. My base card is Thick Whisper White cardstock, and the background is a piece of designer paper from the Trimming the Town designer paper pack… GREAT NEWS.. Trimming the Town paper is ON SALE this month! Enjoy 15% off Oct 1 – 31, 2020! Click Here to order!
Don’t you think this makes a cute card for someone who just moved? Isn’t it just perfect for a Welcome to your new home card? This cute red car is driving through the neighborhood to its new home!! I just love it!
All of the houses are die cut using the dies in the Coming Home Bundle, and the printed Trimming the Town paper. You can also stamp and color the houses using the stamps in the bundle if you wish. The roadway is cut out of one of the sheets from the Trimming the Town pack as well!!
One of my favorite parts of this Welcome to your New Home card is the adorable VW bug car. I stamped it with my Memento black ink pad and colored it with Real Red Stampin’ Blends markers! There is a die cut in the bundle – so quick and easy! I did add Wink of Stella to the car, just to make it shiny can even more fun!
Hearts Come Home:
The “hearts come home” sentiment from the Trimming the Town designer paper, and layered it over a die cut heart from the Stitched be Mine dies #151814. I thought this was perfect for a new home card!
DOTS OF GRASS: are created by stamping an image from the Gather Together stamp set, but you could use any dots, or a sponge or a marker to add the textured effect.
Speaking of perfect… what about this sentiment for the inside!!!!! I found it in my Tag Buffet set!! Love it!!
