WHAT I LOVE! I adore how this Polaroid frame and color blocking highlight the charming, little house. Remember the “Complete This Color Challenge” you did here? Many of you completed the Peach Pie and Cajun Craze combination with Pretty Peacock . . . so I “rolled” with this combo for the blocks of color. Thanks again for your suggestions and inspiration!

how to make this simple card:
Burnish the fold of the Pretty Peacock card base with a Bone Folder.
Adhere the Peach Pie, Cajun Craze and Pretty Peacock block layers to the Very Vanilla layer together and to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the Stylish Shapes 2 1/2 square to crop the Very Vanilla 3 x 3 3/4 layer. Use Post It Tape to keep the die 1/4″ from the top and sides while zipping it through the machine.
