I used the house from the Christmas Lodge Stamp Set for my cards last year, so I wanted to come up with a little different design for some of my cards this year. I just added the large Hapy Holidays saying to the top to give it a different look. I also put it on different paper, to give it a more Season's Greeting feel instead of Merry Christmas.
My card base is Baja Breeze Card Stock, and I added a layer of Whisper White which I embossed with the retired Snow Burst Embossing Folder. But, before the layer was embossed I stamped my two images - my sentiment in Always Artichoke, and my house in Chocolate Chip. I also added some Dazzling Diamonds to the snow on the house, treese and grounds to give it a more realistic look. I adhered the Dazzling Diamonds by going over the areas I wanted covered with my 2-Way Glue Pen and sprinkling on my glitter.
I added my Always Artichoke 1/2" Seam Binding to the left corner because I didn't want to cover up any of my images. For other cards with this same design I think I might try stamping my images further apart and placing my ribbon around the center instead.
