Hello Crafters,
Today I'm showing you a simple, one layer card using the newest Dwelling Place stamp set from Joy Clair. If you haven't noticed, I've actually never designed a one layer card to show you. I didn't want to over think this stamp set, and I wanted to show you what it looks like when you mask your stamps. There are so many adorable "Welcome Home", "New House", etc., cards that are similar, so I wanted to show you what it might look like using your new Joy Clair stamps.
If you wanted, you could create a larger size card and use both house stamps, too! This stamp set is fun because you can create your own house by adding windows or sentiments inside of them.

Directions:
Start by stamping your house in the middle of your card base. Then, using either masking tape or carefully positioned paper, stamp the same house on both sides of the middle image. If you noticed, I made sure to mask the sun on the right side house, as well as positioned both side stamps slightly lower than the middle.

Next, I used the "Home" sentiment on the right side by heat embossing it with some fun black glitter embossing powder. There are so many sentiments to choose from that come with the Dwelling Place stamp set, but I decided to keep it simple for this card.

Continue on by coloring your middle house only. You want it to stand out from the others that are black and white. I kept with a simple three-color palet. The Leisure Arts Premium Colored Pencils are my go-to pencils, and then I simply enhance my shading by using a stump.

Before I finished, I added a touch of embellishment by filling the windows in with some Glossy Accents.
I told you this card was simple, but sometimes a nice one layered card can be exactly what you need to create. Plus, one layer cards make it much more simple to mail to the new homeowners! I hope you find the Joy Clair Dwelling Place stamp set as fun as I did, and create some adorable house themed cards!

Happy Craftings,
-Nicole
