If anyone would like the template for this, just let me know. :0)
This was inspired by this week's Ways to Use It Challenge (WT154). It's not actually a house box, but I thought it worked easily as one. I photographed it beside that standard-sized card to give you an idea of the box's size. I had it cut out and was feeling uninspired about it. That is until this week's s.c.s Ways to Use It challenge came to the rescue! The challenge was to use a window. This was my take on it. It was really easy. To make it you just have to:
1...Print template (if you'd like it, let me know--I'll email it to you.)
2...Cut out template and trace onto back of designer paper.
3...Cut along lines & score.
4... Stamp if desired (I constructed it first then just stuck on a piece of the same Holiday Joy Blue paper that had the window stamped and cut out.)
5...Stamp the window colour & cut. Mount a piece of d.p. behind it (I've used Basic Grey's Periphery Bordeaux PIP-910)
Stamp a second flower box, colour & cut out. Mount it on dimensionals.
6...Make roof by creating scallops with the slit punch (Paper is from Life's Journey Map Pad)
7...Layer them and adhere to the roof over top of a chimney.
8...Add a strip of grass.
9...Close at the back by punching holes and tie with a ribbon.
