Holiday House #1: Here's a Christmas house - made using dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs Holiday House. It took me most of the day to make it (which I suspect is why I like to have things made ahead rather than doing it as I make a card/scrapbook page). The original die was designed to make the center section. I chose to cut extras of the middle piece around the door to add on either side of the house to make it bigger.
I inked various parts of the house to create some texture. Then I colored the door frame, heart, and lights with red. I colored the light strings and window frames with silver Sharpie, backing the windows with pieces colored with light yellow to effect light coming through them. I covered the door frame, heart, and eaves with a clear glitter sheet and fussy cut around it. I thought the Dazzles leaves worked great to form some small bushes & a Christmas tree in the window. Wreath is suede paper - as is the greenery in the window boxes. Little red Dazzles complete those.
Holiday House #2:
This one was much more basic, as you can see. I used the clear sticker on eaves, windows, and heart. It's surprising, but all purple (except the roof/gingerbread) was colored with the same marker - just depended whether or not it was going over top of the clear glitter sticker. Looking at these, I realize that both need door handles. I probably won't come back to show the updated photo, but I will go and fix that.
