Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge set of cute houses!

YULETIDE VILLAGE
Not often, but once in a while I’ll purchase a set just because I like it. Didn’t really think if I’d use it in my business or not (but I probably will use it for Club this month!) It is a cute set and pretty easy to cut out when you want! It actually worked great for today’s Inspiration card!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Night of Navy cardstock was added on top.
- The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Balmy Blue cardstock was stamped with the snow flurries across the top with White Craft Ink.
- a 3 x 5 piece of Basic White cardstock was torn across the top to make two snowbanks and layered on the Balmy Blue, then added to the front.
- The houses were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White and colored with Light Balmy Blue, Light Pecan Pie, Light Gray Granite, Light Crumb Cake, Light Real Red, and Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. They were hand-cut and added to the snowbanks on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Three evergreen trees were stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink and colored with Light Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. They were hand-cut and added next to the houses with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting from Greetings of the Season was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the snowbanks.
- Some White Loose Snowflakes were added to the background.
- Some Wink of Stella was added to the snow on the roofs!

It was lots of fun building this village! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
