Hello!

I don't know about where you live, but here in Ottawa we have had some bone chilling, damp & cold days the last few days. Brrrr! It really feels like winter is on the way 🙁 It's not all bad though, it means Christmas is that much closer! Time to get going on those holiday cards and gifts! If you need a head start, join me in my card class on November 12th! You can register here.

As well, the Weekly Deals may just have what you need to make some cards and gifts! Check them out!

**There was an error in the Weekly Deals posted in my newsletter. It should be the Fun Frames Textured Impressions folder that is on sale, and not the Lovely Lace, here is the direct link to that item on sale. 

Here are a few samples of what you can make with this week's sale items:

This card uses the Sticky Rounds to make the flowers.	Little Buddy Birthday- so cute!
A wonderful background using the Zig Zag Textured Impressions folder!	The Settin' Sail stamp set is a great masculine set!

Good Morning!

Welcome to this month's Blog Hop! I'm so glad you hopped on by, I've got a lovely card to share with you today!

I used the new Holiday Home stamp set available in the Stampin' Up 2014 Holiday Catalogue! It really is such a versatile set! I stamped the houses in Whisper White Craft ink on Rich Razzleberry cardstock and then cut them with the matching Homemade Holiday framelits! (AND you can get the stamp set and framelits as a bundle!!) Using the Magnetic Platform for the Big Shot made cutting the houses SO EASY!!— you can do all three house dies at once (I used 2 of the 3 houses) and the magnetic platform keeps the dies matched up with your stamped images so they don't move when you roll them through the Big Shot! LOVE!! That is one tool worth investing a little money on!

I stamped the background leaves on the Whisper White Top Note Die cut out and then adhered the houses, putting the smaller house in front on Stampin' Dimensionals to give it a little dimension, and then added a little punched out heart using the Owl Builder Punch to create a little door decor! 🙂  

I used the Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities marker to colour the little clothespin– it was gold and I wanted it to match the card a little better 🙂 I love that the Blendabilities can be used to colour elements to match! I then used that clothespin to clip the sentiment label onto the ribbon cluster (securing the label layers with some dimensionals so it wouldn't fall off).  The ribbon cluster has a little Old Olive leave punchout from the Bird Builder punch, along with the Rich Razzleberry ribbon and Gold baker's twine! 

I hope you enjoyed my card! Thanks so much for stopping by!
