Home Sweet Home

Hello! Hope you all had a great weekend! I'd like to share another card using the new Home Sweet Home stamp set. This is a fun set with lots of images and sentiments, too.

Home Sweet Home by Stephanie Ackerman for Purple Onion Designs

My card uses the Reverse Wonky Rectangles die as the card base. I ink distressed with Walnut Stain and water splotched the top portion of the card.

The other pieces were stamped on patterned paper and ink distressed. The bird is from the Bird Cage set, colored with Copics. To finish the card, I added a bit of faux stitching around the edge.

I'm hoping to share some Bird Cage cards with you very soon. Thanks so much for visiting today...

More Purple Onion cards...

Hello, friends! Thanks so much for dropping by! I wanted to share another card with Purple Onion Designs' newest release by Stephanie Ackerman.

Home Sweet Home arrived and I couldn't wait to try some paper piecing with this fun set. I pulled out the new Valise papers by Memory Box. It's a different look for Memory Box, and it's printed on kraft, so naturally, it was calling my name!

I stamped all the pieces on different sheets in the pack and assembled this little scene. I also used some washi tape from The Greeting Farm which fit perfectly as the ground and the colors matched, too. The background was stamped with Envelope Pattern from Hero Arts. I love how it gives the card some subtle texture.

Some pieces were raised on pop dots for dimension, and a bit of twine on the bottom was the finishing touch. There are several sentiments in this set. I think this card would be perfect for a housewarming, Father's Day, or just to say hello.

Hope you have a fun weekend, whatever you do!
