Hi, crafty friends! I’m sharing a pink Christmas house today, featuring dies, stamps, inks and enamel dots all from Concord & 9th. Oh, I used their cardstock too, I love their colors.
The Yuletide Lane bundle caught my eyes as soon as I saw it. It’s easy to create a big row of houses with the die set, but I opted for a simple shaped card for this one. If you love putting together die cuts, this is the set for you. I cut two houses from Ballet Slipper cardstock. Onto one of them, I stamped one of the stamps in the coordinating stamp set using Ballet Slipper ink for a tone on tone look. this particular stamp is very forgiving. It’s just two lines spaced about half an inch apart, but they’re not completely parallel or straight, which means you don’t need to be too precise when stamping. I glued the two houses together on one flap and cut the other flap off, leaving a standard side fold card base.
Time for the bells and whistles. This die set is packed full of so much stuff you can add, there’s really no limit to what you can do. I chose a fun color combo of Cranberry, Midnight, Artichoke, Pistachio and Sea Glass to match the Ballet Slipper nicely. I doubled up the die cuts on nearly everything, even adding white glitter cardstock from Kort & Godt for the snow. On the door, I stamped the coordinating door stamp in Midnight ink, I popped up the letters, added a thick layer of Glossy Accents to the berries on the wreath, a somewhat thinner layer on the Sea Glass ornaments and some gold enamel dots to finish. I even used a gold enamel dot for the doorknob.
