Congratulations on Your New Home

My sister and her husband moved into an old farmhouse when their children were little.  It was a farmhouse very much like the one in Farmhouse Christmas.  It had a big willow tree in the front yard and the kids used to spend time swinging on the tire swing hanging from one of the large branches.

Memories!!!  Memories elicited by the farmhouse in the Farmhouse Christmas set.

I made this card to show that a Christmas stamp set doesn't necessarily have to be about Christmas.  It could be a birthday card, new home, or a general congratulations.

On a thick Very Vanilla card base I added a strip of Festive Farmhouse DSP matted with Cherry Cobber card stock.

In the center is a die cut  Granite Gray picket fence with a Mossy Meadow green tree behind it.I wanted to put it in the front yard, but it didn't look right. The farmhouse was stamped, coloured and die cut and added to the DSP strip using dimensionals.


I cut the Christmas tree off of the truck and made it into an every day truck and it sits parked beside the farmhouse.



Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Farmhouse Christmas
Inks:  Black Memento, Stampin' Up Blends
Papers:  Thick Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Slate Gray, Cherry Cobbler Festive Farmhouse DSP, Mossy Meadow
Accessories:  Festive Farmhouse Framelits, Dimensionals

I look forward to reading comments from my followers as I changed the comment settings to make it easier to do so.
