stamped house Click image to enlarge Designer: Kelly Purkey I love the new squeeze punch stamps and how versatile they are. They're easy to use matched with my favorite scallop squeeze punches and look great on their own as well. I used them to alter this cute little house for Valentine's Day. I've got a little collection of houses for each season and the pinks and reds of the Heidi Grace line matched with the stamps worked perfectly! Difficulty rating
