Our House - New Home Card

Hey Terri here, Happy new year!
I am sharing a new home card created with Concord & 9th Our House Set. This set is really useful and can be used for many occasions. There are door and window options, an embossing folder that embosses the roof and brick details and a stamp set with sentiments and small brick stamps.
I started by die cutting the outer house shape from white 110lb cardstock. I then ran it through the embossing folder, aligning it with the marks at the bottom, this makes sure the brick details are in the correct places. I then used the brick stamps to add detail to raised birck areas, I did this in a light grey colour.
Next I cut the two sections of roof from a slate grey colour and alighned them in the embossing folder at the top, this section embosses the tiles, It is so clever and super cute. I added the roof sections to my house using foam pads. I then cut the roof detail from a mossy green card four times and stacked those together, it makes a really nice fascia board.
I cut all of the windows, shutters and door elements, I added some Pearlescent Vellum behind the windows to give the apperance of glass. The upstairs window have some grey cills, while the downstairs ones have window boxes filled with pretty flowers.
I added a set of steps up to the front door and a letter box and door knob which I cut from Gold Mirror card. I used teh banner die to cut a banner and stamped Celebrate in a pink ink to match the flowers which I placed either end.
To turn this panel into a card, I cut another house shape, agin from 110lb cardstock. I scored a line 3/4 of an inch from the top and added some stong double sided tape. I then removed the carrier paper and stuck the two piece together. The score line works perfectly as hinge, allowing the card to be stood up.
I am so happy with how this card turned out, I am thinking of all the occasions and seasons I can create more for.
