Hi! I’m Vy with Crafting Daily Dose. Welcome to this month’s A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop, featuring alternatives for the October 2023 Home for the Holidays kit.
This kit included supplies for 8 cards, 4 each of 2 designs. Kits always come with an exclusive stamp set, a mini ink cube, embellishments, and adhesives. As of today, refills are still available for this kit.
Today's project is a simple alternative that looks pretty on its own or can be propped up over a battery-powered tea light. You can use just the supplies from the kit, but if you add a piece of vellum, it helps to diffuse the light and gives you a place to add falling glitter "snow" to make it look even more special.
To start, I folded the cardbase so that the original front of the card was now on the inside. From the new front of the card, I cut out a rectangle, leaving a 3/4" border along the top and sides.
I used mini glue dots to discreetly attach a piece of vellum to the inside of the new card front. Next, I adhered the die cut houses to the front. I used glitter glue on the roofs and along the snowy areas at the bottom of the card to add sparkle, and I dotted some on the vellum and "frame" too. Finally, I added a sentiment to the top with the included Dimensionals.
Measurements:
-Kit cardbase
5-1/2” (W) x 8-1/2” (H), scored at 4-1/4" along the long side. At 3/4" and at 4-3/4", cut from the top to 3-1/2". Rotate clockwise. At 5", cut from 3/4" to 4-3/4" to connect previous cuts
-Vellum cardstock (optional)
