The sweet little scene through the window on today’s card was created using images from the Happy Home stamp set.
This set will be available TOMORROW (Jan. 5) when the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration promotion begin. Sale-A-Bration (Jan. 5 – March 31) means you earn a FREE exclusive gift for every $50 in product you purchase (based on your total before shipping and tax). Full details tomorrow!
My inspiration was this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO429). I simply swapped the circle for the window and tag for the flower.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- If you loved the Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog, you’ll be excited to learn that they are returning in the Occasions Catalog and coordinate with the Happy Home stamp set.
- Bundle and save 15% when you purchase the Happy Home stamp set and Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies together.
- Sneak Peek! I adore the font and simple messages of the Happy Home stamp set. I cropped the sentiment using one of the Tags & Labels Framelits Dies.
- Doubling up the Basic Black Baker’s Twine adds a festive twist. I adhered the bow with adhesive separately so that I could get it positioned exactly how I wanted it.
- Sneak Peek! The coordinating envelope liner is cropped from a pattern from It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack. Coordinating envelope liners are a sophisticated touch for a handcrafted card.
- Hover and Pin it! Here’s a photo showing key products for today’s card that you can save or pin to Pinterest. See ALL my product photos in one spot on my How to Make Simple Cards board on Pinterest.

Thank you, Ellen, for your sweet comment!
Such a cool card, Mary! Love that sweet little window.
Love your card. I am head over heals with this window die from Stampn’ Up. Great job.
Thanks, Sue. I love how each of the little scenes fits perfectly behind the window frame.
Thanks, Princess Judy!
I love what you have done with this bundled set. I always thought that window dies hold such potential.
Thanks for your sweet comments. Brian King (above) talked me into this set and I now love it!
Mary, I adore that sweet little scene you created looking outside this pretty window, this image of the little kid playing with the kite and his doggie is just beautiful.
Lovely colors and details, thank you for sharing.
I love this card, Mary. The limited colors really make this card special. What a great use of this sketch!
You continue to amaze me as you bring relatively simple elements together to create a strong effect, no element overpowering yet each one standing strong. You indeed have such a special talent:)
Oooooh, ms Mary love it , I have that one from the stage but now I need the window,love your card , tfs
Hugs Frenchie
Love the simple color combo!
Precious card that just screams ‘happy’. Totally takes me back to a FUN TIME!
such a happy image flying a kite. It reminds me of several classic children’s books illustrations, like those from winnie the pooh, or marry poppins. Or even those classics here in the netherland from “jip en janneke”
