After the release of Boards & Beams we received numerous requests for a holiday set that enabled people to decorate the houses as they wished. The introduction of this stamp set fulfills this request in an easy to use format that I think will be to your liking! To begin my project today, I stamped the townhouse from Boards & Beams onto our Classic Kraft cardstock using Noir Palette ink.
…………………………………………………………………………
One of my favorite things to see as I drive through neighborhoods during the holidays is wreaths and greenery hanging on windows. The little stamps here allow you to do the same thing with your Boards & Beams houses quickly & easily! Just stamp the number that you need. There are different sets of windows and doors created to coordinate with each of the two house included in the original set.
…………………………………………………………………………
Color the windows and door in to suit your needs and cut them out ( I used a sharp craft knife, but you could definitely do it successfully with snips too).
……………………………………………………………………………………..
All that’s left is to adhere them on top of the original *undecorated* windows & door. How easy is that!
…………………………………………………………………………
Here is my completed project (you can click to enlarge). A fun little card with an excerpt from one of my favorite Christmas songs; “There’s no place like home for the holidays.” I embossed this sentiment from the set with the Filigree Gold Detail embossing powder. Did I already mention how much I love this stuff?!?!? Notice the patterned paper used at the bottom of my card? That is from our NEW Holiday Vintage Prints 8×8 patterned paper collection!
…………………………………………………………………………
These six patterns are printed on our beautiful vintage cream paper.
(ETA: I made an error. Please note that this pattern collection is printed on our crisp white paper, not vintage cream! I apologize for my mistake!)
This has been one of the Design Team’s favorites (and I *have* to admit, I love it too!) It is SO much prettier in real life and I cannot WAIT for you to see it!
