Stamp the house image from the Humble Home stamp set on scrap pieces of the three colors Calypso Coral, Peach Pie and Daffodil Delight!
Punch all three houses out with the Humble Home punch and punch out an extra heart from each colored card stock.
Take the extra Basic White pieces (2) 1 1/4″ x 4″ and the 2 1/4″ x 4″ and place them in the 3D Forever Plaid folder. I placed the two smaller pieces up and down vertically in the folder and the larger piece in the folder horizontally so that the patterns were the same orientation when I adhere them to the card.
Adhere the plaid smaller panels to the panel just to the right of the score line on the card and the 1 1/2″ cut off piece.
Adhere the larger embossed piece on the 2 1/2″ cut off piece. Place tape on the shorter outer edges of the 2 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ piece. Place the 1 1/2″ cut off piece on the right hand edge of the inside of the card base. Adhere the larger piece across the two small embossed panels.
Adhere the three houses to the card front across the middle panel.
I took our pearls embellishments and my Dark Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends marker and colored three small pearls with the blends alcohol based marker. Allow a few minutes to dry and then using my Take Your Pick tool I added them to the card for a beautifully coordinated embellishment!
I used the heart punches on the outside and the inside of the card.
The hearts were a little bit bigger than the doorframes so I added the dots from the door frame with a Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker.

I decided to rework the card as the white on white did not effectively show the split panel design as well as I liked so I added a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Peach Pie to the inside of the card.
What a fun and different way to use a standard card size and give it a little twist LITERALLY!!!!
