home is where your story begins

I have had the Neighborhood stamp set from Market Street Stamps for a while but never really had an occasion to use it for.  But last month, we got invited by a friend who just recently moved to their first home.  Here is the card I made for her and her husband...



I used Papertrey dies (love lives here) and cardstock (pure poppy, harvest gold and aqua mist).  I also used Market Street’s Neighborhood stamp and Lil Inker’s Stitched Rectangle die.

Here is the inside of the card.  The sentiment is from Papertrey's Enjoy the Ride and Celebration stamp sets.  The little house is also from the Neighborhood set.



I also baked them some cupcakes and was glad to finally be able to use my Card Hanger die which I purchased from here.  I love this die as it allows you to display your card  rather than being hidden on an envelope.   This is how my gift looked like...





Thanks for stopping by!
