Some days I wake up and I just feel like fiddling... today's card is a good example of one of those times! After printing the image several times I went to work with a craft knife and sharp pair of scissors to cut out all the different little elements in the scene. Then I layered everything with foam tape to give the illusion of dimension. At the same time, and probably not surprisingly, I cured myself of the desire to fiddle!

Stamps: Little Cottage digital stamp by Beccy's Place

Ahhh, home. Is there really a better place in the whole world than your own home? For those of us who are lucky, it's filled with the people, animals and possessions that we love, it's a place of rest and comfort and it's where we return to celebrate all the special events in our life.

Digital Stamp Set

Petra has made this wonderful shaped card using nesting dies.

Don't you just love all the hints of blue?

Carla has gone pink and pretty with her card. Some gorgeous lacy

borders and sweet picket fences add a touch of charm.

Judy's card is warm and inviting. The gingham style paper in the

background is homey and comfortable.

AJ has finished her card with a sunny yellow ribbon. She coloured

the image with soft, pretty watercolours.

Karen has created a clever pocket card using the little cottage

as a holder for a handmade tag. Would be great for a gift card too!

Anesha made a fabulous wall hanging to give to a friend. Wouldn't

it look fantastic hanging on the wall of a new house?

Two more sneak peeks to share with you today, and only three more sleeps until all the new images are released in store!

Little Cottage Set

(coloured by Carla)

I started with a green and brown scrap base today, which led me to think of trees, forests and scenery... the perfect foundation for some gorgeous Stampscapes stamps!  I finished off my card with some little Tim Holtz alphas and a double knot of hemp twine.

It's probably not a surprise that digital stamps make my list, but I know I'm not alone in loving them.  They are versatile, inexpensive and come in a huge range that covers every possible card-making occasion, recipient, and theme.  They can be resized, flipped, digitally coloured, printed and merged... the freedom of digitals, and the ease of storage, is what really makes them popular with card makers.
