Humble Home Merry Christmas

There’s just a couple of weeks to get those Christmas card created and in the mail. Today’s post shares a quick and cute handmade holiday card featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Humble Home Bundle — a stamp set with a coordinating punch. (Click here to see a free tutorial using this same bundle.) Find this bundle in Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2024 Mini Catalog.

I love how the white heat embossing folder creates a gingerbread house.

Changing Leaves Choose Gratitude

Welcome to the November Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! Thanks so much for joining us. We’re glad you’re here. This month, we focus on the theme of gratitude. It’s perfect for this month of Thanksgiving. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop to gain inspiration for your November crafting.

This month, I use Stampin’ Up!’s Changing Leaves Bundle in conjunction with the baby wipe technique (See another post using a different stamp set with this same technique. Click here to view.)

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Bundle

Card Details

Here are a few details about how I created this card:

  • Very Vanilla Card stock: base measures 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4. Another piece measuring 5 1/4 x 4.
  • Ink refill colors: Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green
  • Linen Thread
  • Enamel Basic Effects: Copper

Baby Wipe Technique

A brief recap of how to accomplish this technique. Be sure to watch the video below to see how it’s done:

  • Layer two baby wipes on top of each other. Be sure to protect your work surface as the ink will bleed. I used my Glass Mat.
  • Drip drops of reinkers onto baby wipes. I used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, and Garden Green.
  • Cover the baby wipe area. It has to be large to accommodate the large stamp.
  • Press the stamp in the inked baby wipe and then stamp on the Very Vanilla card stock.
