Timeless Love Moving In Card

There are certain milestones in a young adult's life that helps one to feel grown up. Such as moving out, getting married or buying a house. A good friend of mine just bought a house and to help celebrate this major milestone I created a card that will go in a moving in basket.

Supplies

1 - 8 1/2"x11" sheet of Night of Navy cardstock

1 - 5 1/4"x4" piece of Basic White cardstock

Scrap Basic White cardstock

Gold Foil specialty Paper

Birch Background Stamp

Timeless Love Stamp Set

Forever Fern Stamps & Dies

Sahara Sand Ink

Pacific Point Ink

Always Artichoke Ink

Mellow Moss Ink

Any House themed Stamp, Die or DSP

 

Instructions

Take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of Night of Navy cardstock cut it down to 8 1/2"x5 1/2" and score that at 4 1/4" on the long side.

I then took the Birch Background, the Basic White layer and the Sahara Sand ink and stamped the background on the layer. If you have a Stamparatus that is a great tool to use for Background stamps. If you don't, the easiest way to use a background stamp would be to lay it flat on you work space with the stamp facing up. Then ink up the stamp, place the cardstock on top and then I like to use a scrap piece of paper over top just so that my hands do get inky. I then gently rub the cardstock to ensure a clear crisp image. Make sure you use consistent firm pressure so the the cardstock layer won't move.

I found the house die cut image in my stash I think it was from the 2020 Fall Mini Catalogue. But any House stamp, die or DSP would work. Just cut out the image you want.

I then stamped the sentiment from Timeless Love in Pacific Point. I then cut it down to the size I wanted.

Using the Forever Fern Stamps I stamped one leaf in Always Artichoke and two in Mellow Moss but any green would work. I then used the matching dies to cut them out I wanted a little bit of gold on the card so I used the little sprig dies from the Forever Flourishing die set.

I had some delicate wreaths I had cut out of wood grain paper on Cricut and I took one just to help tie everything together.

I arranged everything and once I was happy I adhered everything flat to the front of the card.

Step It Up

If you would like to step the card up slightly you could use Stampin' Dimensionals behind the sentiment.

Another idea would be to arrange the wreath along the bottom of the house instead of the side. That way you could center the house more.

Let me know in the comment below do you send out cards to congratulate friends and family on buying a house?
