Love Dwells Here


Fantastic name for a fantastic stamp set, I do say!  Are you enjoying this month's release from The Craft's Meow? Love Dwells Here is Nina's contribution to The Craft's Meow July Release and it is chock full of fun, trendy mix and match images and patterns.

The Craft's Meow

I drew some inspiration from the current picture up at Runway Inspired Challenge (the geometric pattern and colors (especially the pop of  pink!)).


The card construction goes something like this: I stamped and fussy cut the roof, house and heart from patterned paper and adhered them to a card base that has a slight polka dot impression.  A punched strip of "grass" was added to ground the house and then a sentiment was stamped onto a white panel and adhered to the card base as well. I think this is also a fun take on Moxie Fab Worlds Stamp It! Cards Week Thank You Challenge.

There are some amazing creations over on The Craft's Meow Blog created by the wonderful designers and illustrators, along with our guest designer Naomi that showcase Love Dwells Here. Please be sure to stop by The Craft's Meow Blog for your chance to win this set featured today!

    Such a gorgeous card, Karen. The selective embossing is so fabulous--it's subtle but adds so much texture. The colors you used are perfect. Love this set!
