ABC Christmas Challenge - H & I are for?

It's the second Wednesday of a new month, so that means it's time for a new ABC Christmas Challenge! I'm the host, and the themes are:

'H is for Houses'
&
'I is for Indoors'

Here's the prize on offer for the lucky winner:

For my 'H is for Houses' card, I picked a Penny Black stamp called 'Warm Reception', which I stamped on to a kraft card blank using Versamark Ink along with a sentiment from the 'Snowflake Edges' set by Simon Says Stamp, then heat embossed it all in white. 



The image on my 'I is for Indoors' card is a Lili of the Valley pre-coloured die cut image (from the Christmas Cuties' set). I paired it with some papers from the 'Jingle All the Way' pad by First Edition & 'Vintage Christmas' pad by Craftwork Cards...distressing all of the egdes and adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous.


I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:
