Humble Home - Christmas Card Shoebox Swap


This is the card that I made for my Christmas Card Shoebox Swap.  We had 9 customers that swapped on Sunday, but one of them couldn't make it, so she will bring her cards to me later when she feels better. They did such a wonderful job creating their swap cards.

This was a card designed by Rhonda Wade and it is so adorable that I wanted to make it.  Here are the products I used:

Stamp Set:  Humble Home

Cardstock:  Shy Shamrock, Basic White, Crumb Cake

Ink:  Early Espresso, Real Red, Tuxedo Black Memento

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Timber 3D Embossing Folder,  Stylish Shapes Dies, Paper Snips, Humble Home Builder Punch, 2024-2026 In-Color Shimmer Gems, 3/8” Shy Shamrock Bordered Ribbon, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Glue Dots, Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals

Humble Home - Cherry Cobbler - Thank You Card

This is another card I made using the Humble Home Bundle.  I used Cherry Cobbler this time and used the Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper as well as the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.  I need lots of thank you cards, so I'm glad this set also has a "thank you" stamp.  I was inspired by Joey Evans Hartman but changed it somewhat.  I used this for my October swap with other demonstrators.

Here are my instructions for this card:

Stamp Set:  Humble Home

Cardstock:  Cherry Cobbler, Basic White, Pecan Pie and Iconic Celebrations DSP

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Pecan Pie

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, Merriest Trees Dies, Humble Home Builder Punch, ¼” Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon, Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.

 

1.     The base of the card is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 8-1/2” and scored at 5-1/2”.  Use the Bone Folder to burnish the score lines.

2.    The Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the bottom of the card is cut at 2-3/4” x 4” and inserted into the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.  Adhere to the bottom with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    The Pecan Pie cardstock is cut at 3-1/4” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4”. 

4.    The Iconic Celebrations DSP is cut at 3” x 4” and adhered to the front of the Pecan Pie front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

5.    For the inside, cut Basic White cardstock at 3” x 4” and adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

6.    Die-cut a Basic White tag from the Merriest Tree Dies.  Ink up “Thank You’ Stamp with Cherry Cobbler ink at the top of the tag.  Adhere the tag to the DSP with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

7.    On a scrap of Basic White cardstock, ink up the brick house stamp with Cherry Cobbler ink.  Ink up the roof stamp with Pecan Pie ink and stamp above the brick house.  Punch out with the Humble Home Builder Punch.  Attach to the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

8.    Ink up the door and windows stamp with Pecan Pie ink on Basic White cardstock.  Cut them out with the Paper Snips and attach with Glue Dots or Mini Dimensionals.

9.    Tie a bow with the ribbon and attach with a Glue Dot over the hole in the tag.

10.  Add three of the Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-Back Berries to the tag.

Humble Home - Thank You Card


We all need thank-you cards, and I think this card is perfect for thanking someone for your Christmas gift.
I love the Misty Moonlight and Shaded Spruce colors I used together.  This Bundle comes with a Punch called a Humble Home Builder Punch.  The stamp set has 14 Photopolymer stamps.  My card was inspired by Kathy Bedell, but I made it into a thank-you card and arranges trees and house differently.  Here are my instructions for making this card:

Stamp Set:  Humble Home, Peaceful Evergreens

Cardstock:  Misty Moonlight, Real Red, Basic White, A Little Festive DSP

Ink:  Misty Moonlight, Shaded Spruce

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Humble Home Builder Punch, Peaceful Evergreens Dies, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals

 

 

1.     The base of the card is Misty Moonlight cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Cut the plaid checkered Misty Moonlight using A Little Festive DSP at 1-3/4” x 3-3/4” and adhere to the left side of the Basic White cardstock.

4.    Ink up the trees from the Peaceful Evergreens with Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White cardstock.  Die-cut them out with the Peaceful Evergreen Dies.  Adhere to the Basic White as shown above.

5.    Ink up the roof of the house with Misty Moonlight ink on Misty Moonlight cardstock.  Ink up the door and windows stamp with Misty Moonlight ink.  Punch out the house with the Humble Home Builder Punch.  Punch out a Real Red heart with the punch and adhere above the door.  Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of house and adhere between the trees.

6.    Stamp “Thank You” above the house with Misty Moonlight ink. 

7.    On the inside stamp “for the sweet gift” with Misty Moonlight on 4” x 5-1/4” Basic White.
