HOMETOWN GREETINGS from Stampin' Up!


OK......I couldn't resist one more card using the dies.  I had cut several pieces and was going to put them away, but decided to do just one more.

This was the third die with buildings.  I cut an oval window in a white piece of card stock measuring 4" x 5 1/4".  The piece was then embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder.  Once I cut the piece with the scene, I attached it to the back of the "window".  When added to the Night of Navy card base, I stamped the stars with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with gold powder.

When I make cards using a colored base, I almost always add a white liner for the message inside.  And if there is a small stamp that I can use to decorate the inside, it adds a nice touch, too.

Now I have two Christmas cards ready for 2018!
