Oh the FUN of Paper Crafting and Card Making.  I love how it's an extension of the season and my life.  I love decorating, finding time to welcome the seasons and holidays for my family and friends who come to my home.  With card making I can send a bit of the holidays to my family and friends (who I may not see).  Using the amazing Blendabilites Markers it's fun to see the depth of colors that can be reached, like on these houses.  So join me in creating a hand-stamped card that will deliver a little holiday cheer to those in your life with this card making tutorial.

OK to say that I love color is an understatement!  I adore it!!  So when the Blendabilites Markers were introduced I was over the moon.  More color and depth... score!  Using the Smoky Slate on the roofs of these cute little houses from the Holiday Home stamp set.  The Daffodil Delight Blendabilites add warmth and depth to the windows.  I love a red door on a home.  Here the bricks and the doors give a regal and warm look that is welcoming using the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilites Markers.  Using the Ombre Technique in coloring these homes makes it quicker and easier than line coloring. 

 

Stamping the Wreath from the Holiday Home stamp set in Garden Green is a fun pop of color on this card.  Easily pop them out using the Homemade Holiday Framelits Dies on the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and Magnetic Platform for a clean and easy cut with a twist of your wrist.

Layering the houses over the Island Indigo card stock that is layered over the Smoky Slate card stock base is easy.  The sentiment and lamp in the Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the Island Indigo looks great.  Using the White Stampin' Chalk Marker to add light to the light post is a small but wow accent that is easy to do.

 

Did You Know... Photopolymer stamps can not use Stazon ink - so the Memento ink pad is a great substitute.

Create a Santa flying in the sky.. stamp the Whisper White card stock that you punched using the 1-3/8" Circle Punch.  I highlighted the reindeers.  Stamp the full image on the Island Indigo card stock.  Layer the punched and stamped circle over the area it's punched to create the 'flying over the moon' look.
