Welcome to the March Twofer Card Challenge. As you may know, we want to see two different designs for two different occasions using the same stamps, stencils and/or dies.
This month's prompt is Your Choice.
My choice for the challenge is HOUSE. I have created a card for moving into a new home and a Christmas card. For both cards I've used craft supplies from the Slovenian brand Najlepši par.
I'm entering this cards to the:
- Najlepši par: Galerija meseca marca (okrašeni pravokotniki, pravokotniki s šivi, akvarelno srce, v veseli vasici, sreča, voščila in zastavica, na travniku)
NEW HOME card
For this card I took a piece of white watercolor paper and die cut a rectangle with a stitched edge. I sponged it with green and blue distress ink. Into the smaller white rectangle I die cut a heart. The roof of the house is sponged with red distress oxyde. The door and shutters are sponged with brown distress ink. I glued the house directly to the background, then glued a smaller rectangle with the heart opening and sentiment (a lot of luck) with 3D tape on the background. I have decorated the heart with the pine tree and the sun. I'm trying to make a perfect card until my daughter and her future husband will move into their new house. This is one of the attempts. :-) I still have a couple of months to find the right recipe for it. :-)
I'm entering this card to:
- Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #400 - Die Cuts and/or Stencils
- C.R.A.F.T. Challenge: Anything Goes - Challenge #589
- CASology: Week 385: LUCK ( a lot of luck for moving to the new home)

Vau, res pravljična vasica pod severnim sijem, fantastična je. Druga pa tako nežna a srcem. Paši za oči.
Kako čudoviti sta obe. Prelepo pisano praznično vasico si naredila.
Prekrasne kartice!LP
Seems to me that you got the recipe just right for your new home card, Sonja ... that wonderfully detailed little house scene set in the heart is just adorable! What a fantastic village you created under the aurora borealis ... colourful, cute and deliciously festive with all that 'snow'! Thanks for the apricot blossom photo ... our almond tree is also in full bloom! Hugs, Anita :)
Kako lepo si se poigrala s hiškami. Zanimiv trening za "tapravo" vselitveno voščilnico si naredila, praznična pa me očara z ozadjem, ne glede na to ali ti je všeč ali ne :). Mi imamo ob jutrih še slano, zato prav lepo zgledajo tovje brsteče češnje :).
Ooo kako sta lepi! Super si uporabila različni šabloni, sploh vselitvena mi je zelo všeč:).
Two such warm and inviting cards Sonja! Love your new home card with the sweet little house nestled in the heart...just perfect for new home owners! And your Christmas card with the northern lights shining down on the little village is just BEAUTIFUL!! FABULOUS cards my friend!! Love your photo too...can't wait for Spring to arrive in my neck of the woods!! Hugs. :0)
The new home owners will love their card and a nice welcome into the neighborhood. Putting the home inside the heart is such a lovely idea and so welcoming. The Christmas card is beautiful. The sky is stunning and the group of houses is so colorful and pretty. Two great twofers.
Oooh Sonja I think you found the perfect recipe, the little New Home card is absolutely delightful. I love the scene you've popped into the rustic heart aperture and adding the tree and sun to the outside adding so much interest. The Christmas card is bright, happy and so cheerful... two lovely inspirational cards x
Sonja, your cards are beautiful. Each scene is so perfectly crafted. Love these cards.
Sonja, these are marvelous cards! That little house, and the others as well, are so sweet! The single house makes a lovely "new home" card, and I'm sure your daughter will love this. The heart cut-out frames it perfectly! Your aurora borealis looks 'heavenly' too! Such a pretty Christmas card! I really like that card. Great Twofer cards!! Stay safe. Sending hugs. Bev
These are stunning Sonja, both so different and both so awesome in their own way. I adore the CAS card with that lovely subtle background and then that very detailed house scene in the heart die-so very creative and so eye catching. Thanks for joining CASology x
Your little houses are so pretty, Sonja! I love the first card with both of the fancy edges and the offset heart framing the sweet house! I think you've found perfection! The row of brightly colored houses is so pretty against the aurora borealis! A wonderful Christmas card!
Two beautiful house cards for very different occasions using very different designs, Sonja. TFS the gorgeous blooming apricot tree also. Spring is popping up every where on the Oregon Coast USA too:-) Love the time of year. TFS your beautiful cards. Love and Hugs..nancy
First of all, thank you for sharing that amazing apricot blossom! I've never seen one before and I see that the tree is laden with buds so it must be breathtaking when all the blooms start popping! Yes, thank goodness, spring is on the way! That alone will lift everyone's spirits.
I love your cards, as always, Sonja! You have such an amazing eye for design and color and you always put them together exquisitely. I learn as I see how you layer each element. Putting the new home behind the heart is sweet enough, but adding the sunshine and the tree take it up a notch! And your practice aurora borealis makes a beautiful background for the Christmas village! I hope you both are keeping safe! Hugs, Darnell
Fab Twofer Sonja - just love your sweet house diecuts!! So pretty in the heart window on card one and in a little village on card two!! Oh my, that apricot flower is gorgeous too - thanks for sharing!!
Love the house peeking through the heart opening! Thanks for playing along with us at CASology.
Oh wow! I loved both the cards! Thank you for playing with us at CASology :)
That is a super idea of card for a new house. Really cute card with the way it peeks through the heart!
Lepi voščilnici. Težko se je odločiti za eno. Srčna belina z lepim ozadjem, ta prava za vselitev. Severni sij na drugi, čudovito. Lepa praznična.
Stunning cards! The house in a heart is such an awesome idea. Thank you for joining us at ATSM!
What AMAZING cards!! I love the little heart card with the die cut peeking out. Your Christmas card background ROCKS!!
Če se prej nisem ustavila pri tebi in teh lepih voščilnicah, pa je bil sedaj, kosem prejela to romantično vasico s polarnim sijem v svoj dom. Zelo vesela sem, da si jo izbrala zame, ker jo je tako lepo obračati v rokah in jo božati. ČUDOVITA!
