Christmas 2017



I



This year, I decided to use the Lawn Fawn Shut the Front Door Die Set. What a better way to celebrate our home than to recreate the front of it on a card. This is the most detailed Christmas card that I have ever made! I stamped Merry Christmas using my Misti on the door mat.  I cut a brick stencil using my Silhouette Cameo; however, if you do not have a cameo, you can get a brick stencil.  I used texture paste and Tim Holtz distressed fired brick ink to make the brick background.  The paste makes it feel like real brick.  I cut the lights and door number out with the silhouette also.  I used orange stickles for the glow of the lights and liquid glass to make the lights look like glass.

When you open up the door....




Surprise!  I created a Christmas tree using stickles and red enamel.  To create the floor, I embossed paper with a wood embossing folder, cut a strip to give the illusion of depth into the home.


The inside of the house, I used a Simon Says Stamp that says:

From Our House to Yours
Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
