It’s Thursday, and time to play at Pals Paper Arts! This week is a sketch challenge, designed by the talented Nicole Watt. I was fortunate enough to win the Holiday Home stamp set and coordinating Homemade Holiday Framelits from the upcoming Holiday Catalog during the first Prize Patrol of Convention. I hope you enjoy this peek at a holiday set!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Deciduous delights! Snowy hills were created by tearing Whisper White card stock, while Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter creates a glistening effect. The Leafless Trees were inked in Soft Suede, while the sky is a wash of Lost Lagoon. Your science tidbit for today…deciduous trees are those which lose their leaves in the fall!
- Coniferous confections! The darling Evergreen Trees were inked in Mossy Meadow. Smoky Slate Snowflakes, and a trio of Pearls, fall from the sky.
- A happy holiday home! An adorable Mossy Meadow Wreath, decorated with Cherry Cobbler Pearls, graces the facade of this cute home. The bonus is that there is a framelit that fits each of the three homes in the set! Woo hoo! How cool is that!
Holiday Homes is a photopolymer set. I am a little embarrassed to say that this is really the first time I have used a photopolymer set. I have “collected” a few of them, but I really have not used them. Yikes! What kind of a demonstrator am I! However, I can now truthfully tell you that I LOVE Stampin’ Up!’s photopolymer stamps…and you can bet that I will be inking up some of the ones that are collecting dust!
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I think this set is going to be a hit for sure. What do you think? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one of them. As always, if you ever have a question about the cards I create, or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…

Hi Ann! What a lovely winter scene you’ve created! I love this sweet little house. How neat that you won the stamp set!! I’m happy to hear that you like the new clear sets. Can’t wait to see what you create with other sets. I have to apologize for not commenting so much lately. We’re still in remodel mode and my time with the computer is so little. I wanted to congratulate you on presenting at convention, such an honor!
Adorable, and that set can be very versatile. Photopolymer is the way to go!
I’m ready for Christmas now!!
This card is so cute, happy, homey, warm-looking (for the heart) AND icy for the eyes (and noses), welcoming, inviting–all the things we want Christmas to be. And I wouldn’t mind it a bit if it snowed real pearls from the sky!
I love this card. It is beautiful!

I saw this set and thought oh, this is really cool and I can see Ann using pearls for snow on it as well as dazzling diamonds. I love how you did it with this sketch. It is so fun and cute. The colors are really well done. This set plus the framelits was one of my favorites in the new catalog! I love photopolymer stamps. Hot dog, and you even won them on the first prize patrol!

Lovely way to use the sketch -and what a great idea to emboss the background with dots to sub for snow! Love the new holiday set – and I LOVE photopolymer stamps. They’re becoming my favorites, especially for sentiments since I can see exactly where they’re going. Thanks for the preview.

I LOVE clear stamps. Love. I do not pull out rubber as often because clear is soooo easy to use.
Beautiful holiday card and what a lovely stamp set as well
