The House That Stamps Built: Designer Choice Challenge

 Laurie's turn to pick the challenge theme this week for The House That Stamps Built 

and she went with a photo for our inspiration, how fun is this.

                                                      

  Here is the card I made using her cute foyer as my inspiration:

 I used patterned papers to make my card look like a wall, added  Repeat 

Impressions Happy Hello framing it like a picture on the wall and Flowering Hearts,

as every entrance way needs a plant. 

We would like to see your take of the photo.

be the lucky winner of the monthly drawing for the

The House That Stamps Built-POTW

My week for the POTW - Project of the Week at The House That Stamps Built. I

am going to share how to make a Criss-Cross Card. Below is my card.

Let's get started. You will need a 12 x 12 piece of card stock, coordinating

patterned papers, some solid color card stock and stamps of your choice. I

used Repeat Impressions: Cape Hatteras Light and Hope your birthday.

 

Trim your 12 x 12 sheet of card stock to 5", and scor at 4" and 8". Then

trim from top of scor line to bottom right and left corners as below.

 Fold as below:

Take two 4" x 5" pieces of patterned paper and trim diagonally. Trim a small

amount off the bottom straight edge to fit the triangle sections of the card,

inside and out.

Cut center of card 3 7/8" x 4 7/8 ", may cut a white or ivory center, slightly

smaller, stamp with sentiment and add a tab or ribbon at the top.

Add image and any finishing touches:

This adds another masculine card to my stash, one of my January goals.
