Hi everyone! This is the fourth year for Comfort and Joy Event hosted by Eileen Hull. You can find lots of fun projects by the Inspiration and Educator Teams over in Eileen’s Fan Club which can be found HERE. If you aren’t a member, fill out the questionnaire to join. Also there is a twist to this month’s theme and it’s all about recipes…not food related but technique recipes.
I created a mini house using the Shadow Box Frames Set 2 Thinlits, Sunflower Diecut, Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. You can add twine or ribbon to the top to tie to a present or hang on a tree but I chose to leave that off and so I could use it as a home decor piece on one of my shelf. Anyways, let’s get started!
Step One
The first thing I did was cut out two of the houses from the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and two pieces of cardstock that I adhered to the back side to cover the windows and door in both houses. Also I cut the roofs off of both houses. Side note, this house is the only one that perfectly fits the Shadow Box Frame without any adjustments.
Step Two
I measured and cut a piece of patterned cardstock using the roof line as a guide for the “walls” of the house. I placed the cut piece of cardstock onto the Shadow Box Frames Set 2 Thinlits and run through the Diecut Machine. I folded and glued together.
Step Three
I adhered the houses onto the “walls” and glued two strips of cardstock at the roof line. I cut a piece of brown cardstock slightly larger than the width of the house, folded and glued the roof onto the two strips at the roof line.
Step Four
I cut out a center from the Sunflower Diecut to use as a base for the house to sit on. I also cut and shaped with a Stylus two flowers from the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and a sprig of berries from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. I added sequins to the sprig and flowers along with a few loops of thread to finish this miniature house.
This is so easy to make and is a great way to use up scraps of cardstock. If you have any questions please let me know.
