Home is Where the Heart Is by Channin

Hello everyone! It’s Channin here and I am so excited to be back at Simon Says! Today I’m sharing with you all a sweet card I created with some of the new products from Waffle Flower Craft’s Spring Release!

WATCH THE VIDEO:


First, I die cut a grid panel using the A2 Grid Panel Die and then 3 window frames, 3 curtains, 3 balcony railings, and one awning using the Apartment Builder Die from 110lb Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. Next, I cut off the center sections dividing the 2nd and 3rd rows of squares with a pair of scissors to create 3 columns. I then ink blended the entire grid (including the rectangle negative piece at the bottom of the grid) with WF’s New Fish In Pond Dye Ink and a Mini Ink Blending Tool. I then blended the awning and balcony railings in WF’s Peace of Mind Dye Ink and the curtains in WF’s Happy Go Lucky Dye Ink.

I then stamped several images from the Tea Party Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black with a MISTI on a scrap of white cardstock. I also stamped the heart portion of a sentiment from Flora Home Stamp Set. I then Copic colored the images and then die cut them out with the matching dies, except for the heart, which I cut out with scissors. I then trimmed the saucer off from the teacup and used a white Gelly Roll Pen to cover the remaining lines of the saucer. I also colored the edges of the tiny fussy cut heart with a Black Tombow Brush Pen so it will blend in seamlessly when I later adhere to the sentiment.

I then stamped a sentiment from the Flora Home Stamp Set in Versafine Onyx Black on the balcony using a MISTI. Next, I assembled the apartment, using Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue to hold all the elements together. With the apartment fully assembled, I then adhered the stamped images. Lastly, I ink blended WF’s Oh Happy Day to the front of an A2 top-folding (4.25” x 11”, scored & folded at 5.5”) white card base then glued the apartment panel to the front.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card, thanks so much for stopping by!
