Glittery Christmas Button House

Hey there friends!  I got side tracked from all my chores today and decided to make another little house.  This one has a button roof.  I was inspired by Melissa Phillips.

After all the buttons were in place I put on a ton of glitter.  I am no photographer so you can't really see it here but IRL it glistens. 

I am using PTI Rustic White cardstock, smokey shadow ink, aqua mist ink, copic markers, aqua mist buttons and ribbon, Martha Stewart glitter.  Everything is hand cut.  I used the PTI timeless template Homemade along with the Homemade stamp set.  Thanks for stopping in!

Homemade Christmas House

I got it done!!! YAY! I was suppose to spend the day preparing for our vacation but I am obsessed with this little house, LOL. Its done now. I used PTI's Homemade and Home for the Holidays. The house is from a template by Lauren Meader sold through PTI.All the little Christmas elements are from PTI's Home for the Holidays. They were originally meant to coordinate with Boards and Beams. The house base is lemon tart. All the elements are stamped on cream, colored with with copics and then applied to the base. The roof is pure poppy.
I took the time to shade the roof tiles this time. It took forever! Not sure I would do it again. LOL
I masked the little holly swags and then colored them with copic markers. The glow in the windows are copic marker and blender pen.
What do ya think? I hope you all have a fab Thanksgiving! I will see ya in a week!

Homemade House

Have you been to PTI lately? Perhaps you saw the cute little house template from Lauren Meader? And the gorgeous companion set illustrated by Nichole Heady? Of course I bought both! And here is the cute little house that I made. What do you think?I used cream cardstock for the base and ripe avocado for the roof tops. I stamped in ripe avocado, pure poppy, and dark chocolate. There is also a bit of lemon tart. The glow in the windows is copic marker and blender pen.
I am not sure if its done yet but we are leaving for vacation and I wanted to get some pictures up before we leave. I am contemplating some avocado brick work in the front of the house. Maybe some copic shading on the roof.... that probably would have been easier before I put it together! LOL.
Speaking of putting it together, it went together very easily. I didnt need the written directions. The hardest part is adhereing everything. I used score tape. All the design elements are stamped separately and then cut out and adhered. It takes 5 sheets of cardstock to make this little house, so you dont want to mess it up with a miss stamp! Its hard to part with 5 sheets of cardstock! LOL
Thanks for stopping by! I would love to hear your comments.

Tea Box Template

I have a had a few requests for the tea box design, so I drew up a little diagram.   Its not to scale so you cant just print it out, if I knew how to do that I would have!  Sorry.   Anyway its just a little sketch of how I planned it out for myself.  Hope this helps you!  If you have any questions feel free to contact me through the comments or by email.  You can click the picture to enlarge.
