GOOD NEIGHBORS DIORAMA CARD

HSIAO-HUI LIN IS CREATING AGAIN!

Over the past summer at summer stamp camp, I taught my stampers how to make a diorama card. I don't know if you remember but I also made 100 diorama cards for SU! Convention last year with a Halloween theme? Well, Hsiao-hui followed up with the style card and came up with a real winner. She used the Sale-a-bration Stamp set that you can earn for FREE called Good Neighbors. Don't you just love this card. It fits perfectly in our open ended envelopes and pops up into a 3 dimensional card with insert that we call a diorama card.
We stamped the homes by coloring them first with stampinwrite markers which everyone absolutely loves. The houses are adorable and there are so many uses for them. The designer paper is also something you can earn for FREE during saleabration this year called Welcome Neighbor designer paper pack. It's really great to have a choice of so many things to earn for FREE this year. The houses that are on the outside part of the card on the bashful blue card stock are actually wheeled using the Neighborhood Wheel and tempting turquoise classic ink. I loved this addition to Hsiao-hui's card. And...the Home is Where the Heart is medallion on the front is printed from My Digital Studio. With MDS, you can print any phrase and any design and there are tons of SU! stamps to choose from. That was really clever of Hsiao-hui because that phrase was actually the title of the class that night.
Here's a side view of the card and you can see the dimension of the card, as well as how she showed us that we should wheel the neighborhood all around the diorama card. Great Job Hsiao-hui!

HAPPY MONDAY - HAPPY NEW HOME LINDA K.

I have been dying to try the new MOVER's and SHAKER's dies by BIG SHOT for SU! and my new SU! punch modern label. Something to note about these dies is that they compliment our SU! punches so they outline great. I love how this one makes a window and you can see the label punch underneath.
My card stock is crushed curry and I used always artichoke and melon mambo as complimentary ink colors. If you use the color finder at the bottom right of my blog you can find great colors that go together very well. The houses are from the neighborhood wheel and the And They Lived Happily Ever After sentiment is from the stamp set is Once Upon A Time. The ribbon is dotted melon mambo grosgrain. I colored the houses with stampinwrite markers and because I love glitter, I had to cover them with dazzling diamonds. This card is for my very good friend Linda K. who just settled on her new home in Bel Air.

Here on the inside, you can see the punched out modern label and the outline which I die cut from the modern label die mover and shaker. The outline is melon mambo card stock. The Congratulations comes from the stamp set Fun and Fast Notes, a very versatile stamp set and one that I tell all new stampers is a must have!

I just got an email that Linda liked her card and her son was so happy to see the new dog house right next door. They have been wanting a new dog for a long time and I hope that they

will get one. They watch Luigi for us and I know Luigi is going to be excited to see their new home next time he visits.
