Today, I am sharing a 'clean and simple' new home card made for my nephew and his wife.
They have recently returned to live in their house, after having an extension built.
As lots of changes have been made, I thought it would feel just like moving into a
new home for them.
new home for them.
The house die is actually longer than this, and includes another house and some trees.
I only wanted to use the one house, so I cut it in the brown card twice, glued them together
