September 26, 2012 Impression Obsession DT ”It’s All About Dies” Blog Hop Day 3

Good Friday morning. Welcome to day 3 of the Impression Obsession design team “It’s all about dies” blog hop. You will definitely want to check out the details on the Impression Obsession blog to find out how you can possibly win three new dies of your choice.

For my project today I used Impression Obsession House, Door and Windows, Border Duo 2, Fence Border, Fancy Tree 

You have probably noticed that I love creating house scenes on card fronts.  I also really love making Christmas house villages with lost of snow and the house die gave me the perfect starting point. I added walls, a roof,  lots of windows and a door and finished with a fence. I have added the house dimensions and instructions at the bottom of my post.

The most fun part for me is adding all the festive decorations to the windows, door and fence.

  6. Every one in a while, I look at your cards and think, “I could make a card like that,” but today I am blown away by your snow scene…and I’m thinking, “No way could I make something that intricate and beautiful”. But I so admire your artistry, appreciate your directions, and am thankful for your tutorials.
