Happy Halloween everyone! First up: this is your final day to take advantage both of the current enhanced joining offer and the 30% off kits sale - two great ways to get more for your money, so consider this your final reminder!
Secondly, I do have a quick card to share that I made using the layout over at Sketch Saturday:
This is such a versatile sketch and I had the perfect 'cheat' in mind for that striped panel - take a look:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
I needed a card to welcome someone to their new home, so had my 'Humble Home' bundle out on my desk and I decided that this sketch was perfect to highlight a little punched house in that circle. I punched my house twice out of Country Woods designer series paper, and trimmed the roof from the darker piece and paper-pieced it to my base. I also used another pattern in the pack to punch out the heart, and yet another pattern for my striped panel - yes, my 'cheat' is that the paper is already striped in a variety of coloured wood, so all I had to do was choose a piece with the colours I wanted and cut out a strip - quick and easy! I added a sentiment from 'Humble Home' to my cardbase, and sat my punched house onto a circle cut with one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies, that I threaded with navy twine - I love this effect for a simple added detail:
This card is winging its way to a dear friend who loves a simple card and is in the throes of moving house - so I hope she likes this one!
