Hearts Come Home

Hi Stampers!
Have you seen the "Hearts Come Home" Bundle in the new Holiday catalog yet?  This is a little bit similar to a set that we had two years ago depicting a landscape with some houses, trees, etc. This was the first set to catch my eye when I got my catalog and I couldn't wait to play with it!  Here's the first thing I made:

With Stampin'Up!'s precision cut framelits and thinlits, it is easy to cut out all the elements for a scene. It's also fun to combine some stamping with the coordinating stamp sets! I quickly made several cards with this set and achieved quite different looks. Here are a few others!

The Precision Base plate works great for cutting these detailed framelits as well, and the die brush set. I use all the tools every day and it has made my life a little easier when I'm cutting detailed thinlit images.

There are so many new products out there, it can be hard to keep up with what tools to use for a project. If you ever have questions, please ask!  The Big Shot is designed to do a lot of tasks, but it must be layered correctly to work properly. Just be sure you never force your layered "sandwich" to go through. If it is too tight, it is too tight and will break the Big Shot!  Here's a helpful video about the Precision Base plate:

As always, if you have questions, I'm happy to help! Now back to some crafting for me!

Happy Stampin'!
