Good Morning! It’s Friday today. I hope your week has been fabulous! I have a fun Grandma card for you today using the whimsical stamp set called Grandma’s House.
It comes with two image stamps that are simply sweet and fun to color, plus all these great sentiments that are perfect for a grandma to give and/or receive. I love this one that says, “What happens at Grandma’s…stays at Grandma’s” Isn’t that the truth?!!
Sketch Challenge
I patterned my design after the sketch challenge from Paper Players #PP452. Here is the sketch that I worked from:
Get Your Blends Out!
Coloring these images is very easy using the bullet tip of the Blends Markers. The alcohol ink just glides on. There isn’t much room for blending, although I tried to blend the two Pineapple Punch colors on the house just a little.
I don’t think you can see it very well in the photo, but I took my Fine Tip Glue Pen and filled in the windows with a little glue that dried clear and looks like window glass!
The Granny Apple Green (in keeping with the Grandma theme, lol!) checked print and diamond print are from the Brights Collection of the 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack. Then on the inside I finished the two-part sentiment, added three hearts and one flower. The flower stamp has all three flower images on it, but it was simple to mask off two of them and stamp the one I wanted.
This stamp set is perfect for the grandma in your life, for a friend who is a new grandma, or for you to give if YOU are the grandma. I’m going to have a lot of fun with this one!
Have a relaxing weekend! Before you go, jump over to Paper Players and see all of the entries to this challenge and catch some inspiration!

I love houses and this one is the cutest ! I love the green and I am loving all the Designer Papers with the gingham this year ! Your card is just too cute and I may have to get these stamps just to get that adorable house !!
Such a sweet card, Karen! I just love how your little yellow house really pops on the green background. So pretty! Thanks so much for joining us this week over at The Paper Players!
Definitely a smile card. I like the house and the other designs to the set, but we didn’t have any kiddos so therefore I am not a grandma. So, I won’t be getting this set but will admire your fun card. Love the green and all the little accessories. One of my best friends says that about her grandkids!
It’s true, wink! wink! We grandmas love to spoil our g-kids! 🙂 Thanks, Chris!
