Introducing Home Made

November 12, 2009      Nichole Heady      820 Comments

The vision I am about to present to you today is one that I actually came up with LAST Christmas, and I have been holding onto it all this time, waiting for the right time to release it!  Lauren Meader and I have worked together to bring this concept to fruition and I am proud to say that it's execution turned out flawlessly.

I present you with Home Made.  A stamp set that is full of windows, doors, shutters, curtains, bricks, stones and even an outdoor porch light, all perfectly scaled to coordinate with an easy-to-use house template.  That's right.  You can decorate these little houses to your hearts content for only a few cents each since you'll printing the templates right onto cardstock from your home computer.  There are many alterable houses on the market, but our version is easy & inexpensive enough that you can make them over and over again.

The details.

  • Home Made will be available for purchase on November 15th.
  • It will retail for $24.
  • Home Made contains a total of 23 stamps (20 images and 3 sentiments) which coordinate in scale with the new Home Made Timeless Template.

I have always admired architecture and the "artistic" side of it.  The way the certain curve of a window makes a house look so graceful.  Or the structure of a front door becoming warm & welcoming.  I am hopelessly in love with the architectural details like this that I was able to include in these images and I hope you're smitten too.  Let me show you how I put them to good use.

House

windows and doors and pine boughs, oh my!

Upward angle

A few tips about these adorable little house templates. 

1. Just so I warned you, they are very addictive.

2. The top comes off so it can easily be used as a gift box.

3. The boxes are really sturdy and can hold really heavy items, like a dozen homemade cookies!

4. It is easiest to put the house together and stamp the window and door elements on separate sheets of cardstock.  Cut them out then adhere them in place.  Centering and stamping errors won't be an issue after you put the effort into putting the house together.

5. The pine boughs for my house were created with the pine bough punch by Martha Stewart.

6. These little houses turn out so cute, they can definitely just be used as home decor, then they can be permanently displayed!

House window closeup

Notice the curtain detail in the window?  That would actually be my dear husband (David) who thought of that concept.  And he made me swear to give him full credit during the corresponding countdown post.  Who knows?  Perhaps David needs to start designing with me more often. *wink*

Curtains

The curtains are a separate image that can be stamped in the color of your choice.

Window over curtain

Then the window frame image can be stamped directly on top of it in a darker color.  Easy peasy!

Thank you card

This architectural themed stamp set doesn't have to be JUST for decorating three-dimensional houses.  It also works wonderfully on cards!  Here I've used the same elements as my house, only applied them to a card front.

Card window closeup

The window has shutters added to it this time, stamped in Dark Chocolate.

Glitter & sentiment closeup

And one more glitter technique (if you aren't sick of them yet!).  I scored the top and bottom edges of my sentiment strip with my Scor-pal and then ran a 2-way glue pen just above the score lines, followed by a sprinkling of glitter.  Really adds definition to the edges.

Want more inspiration?  I challenged the Design Team to create their own version of the template house along with a card, showcasing the idea, once again, that this set doesn't have to be JUST for the house!  The results were truly breath-taking!

    Oh my word! Genius. Pure Genius. I, too, love architectural detail but never thought about combining it with my love of crafting. I cannot wait to use this template and stamp set. Instead of gingerbread houses this year I think the kids will be making one of these!

    And now you show me this spectacular combo of a template with a stamp set. I have been up for about 30 minutes I saw this post in the last 5 minutes. And for the last 4 of those minutes I’ve been reworking my Christmas list to include these delightful houses.

    “See something you want to try for yourself?” you ask. Umm, yes – ALL of these ideas: glitter, buttons, punches, shutters that face either direction, dormers, windowboxes, garlands, scoring – its too much fun! What fun inspiration – you ALL created something unique and wonderful and I can’t wait to try my hand! Great job Nichole and Lauren.

As I scrolled down through this post, I was kept busy saying “Oh, the pine boughs” and “Oh, those shutters” and “Look at the dormer windows” and “Ahhh, the lace” and on and on.

    Wow, this is such a great concept! All I keep thinking about is making one of these for my 3 1/2 year old! It would have to be mostly pink with “sprinkles” (what she calls glitter) to suit the little princess! She would love to have one of these to put her “stuff” in. I love all the samples-this is such a cool idea for a house warming gift too! Too fun! 🙂

    I can’t wait to order this template. My daughter will turn 9 next Friday and this will be a perfect gift for her trinkets. Also a great gift to give to friends and neighbors with goodies in them for the holidays coming up. You ladies Rock with this one.

    I am totally blown away by the idea of Home Made and all the creativity shown by the design team. Truly amazing! I’m sure I won’t be nearly as creative, but I can’t wait to give this new set and Lauren’s template a whirl.

    This set reminds me of the dollhouse I built with my dad when I was 11. I would rush home from school and head straight for the craft room to glue shingles, piece together banister, or lay small strips of wood flooring. I believe you… building these houses will be very addicting!

    Love it! I can see how the house could become a trademark gift box to all my non-crafting friends. Can you believe there is such a thing? Who would ever want to be a “non-crafter?” LOL!

    Wow!! So incredibly clever! I am in love with that window image- so elegant. And it looks amazing with the pine boughs and matching buttons. And that house template has a wonderful shape; very traditional. In fact, it looks like my parent’s house! 🙂 Thank you so much to all of the designers for sharing their ideas – really inspiring.

    Oh my, this set will most definitely be MINE, ALL MINE! I fell in love with Boards & Beams when it was released for the same reason, and this new set is even better with all the individual pieces and the new template! I just LOVE what everyone has done with it. It even makes me want to craft with my kids! lol I can’t wait to get this in hand and start playing.

    What more is there to say but, “WOW!” and “SUPER!” ? The template is awesome and so creative and the stamp set just adds that extra touch of wow and class to it. I love this. Also, the Home Made stamps would work great with the other house themed sets you have.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhh………..this is too darn cute! Boards and Beams is the set that moved me from chronic lurker to PTI customer when it came out and I just love this next step! Also think its fantastic that the images stand on their own and can be used on a card or with the template. My son cannot make gingerbread houses at Christmas time anymore due to food allergies and in the two years since we changed his diet over, I had yet to come up with a substitution solution for this. You just GAVE us one!! Thank you! :>

It is so versatile and inspiring…I can imagine many a “Congrats on your new home” card and projects made from this set, as well as many “home sweet home” scrapbook pages. I would of course, first make a full home with all the trimmings for my mantel. Thanks for the chance to win and for making such beautiful and crafty products!

    Yes, I learned something new today. I learned just how talented you, Nicole, Lauren and the rest of the design team are (but that was never a secret). ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I just love this template and the stamp set also. By the way please tell your husband good eye with the curtains. The stamps and template are so precious and so versatile and I love anything HOMEMADE. Thank you so much everyone for sharing. God bless and Happy Holidays!
