Congrats on Your New Home Card by Jennifer Jackson

Happy New Home!

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing a fun card that I created for a friend who recently moved into a new home! My friend also has several kitties so I thought it would be purr-fect to create a card using our Newton Loves Boxes Stamp Set. 

I started by stamping the images of kitties playing in boxes from our Newton Loves Boxes Stamp Set onto Bristol paper. Then I colored the kitties and boxes using zig watercolor markers. I cut the images out using the coordinating Newton Loves Boxes Die Set. 

Next, I knew I wanted to create a scene for the kitties that looked like it was inside a house. I cut out a stitched rectangle for my scene using our Frames & Flags Die Set and then I masked off the top and added brown ink to make a floor. Next, I used our Serene Stripes Stencil and to add stripes to  the top section of the wall. Doesn't this pattern look a little like it could be wallpaper?

I then arranged all the images over the scene and added the sentiment "congrats on your new home!" onto a white banner that was die cut using our Banner Trio Die Set. 

I framed the whole thing with some heart patterned paper from our Coffee House Stories Paper Pad, cutting it out with our Frames & Flags Die Set to give it a scalloped edge. I love how this turned out and I think the new home owners enjoyed it as well! 

I hope this card has inspired you to be creative and find ways to create fun and unique scenes on your cards!
