Valentine House
Hello there! Kristen here today with a sweet little Valentine Gift box that is super easy to create for a fast Valentine gift box. I created my box using Winter Woodland and simply sized the box to fit a full sheet of 12×12 paper. The <house3> image has an outside and an inside cut, and I cut them from black and white papers. I layered the two cuts together, and use foam tape to sturdy my house so that it would hold up to contain candy and goodies.
When gluing my house roof on, I simply only glued on one side, so that the roof becomes the lid for the box.
I decorated the house with flowers and lace, silver pipe cleaners, buttons, a twine wreath and pearls. I also added some velvet ribbon around the roof, and tied a loop which I pulled through a center hole, to use as a hanger.
I love these as a special treat for your loved ones!

ahhh this is so adorable! I love to make little houses and had never thought to use silver pipe cleaners to decorate them. Next one is going to have it. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love the Valentine house!
I see all of these lovely things and ideas and wish I could do them so beautifully. Not talented that way and don’t have the cartridges which makes it impossible to follow. I need to get on the stick and try using the ones I have, right. But I really do enjoy seeing what all can be done and how you do it. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

So very cute, I love it! I have not even tried to make one of the houses yet, in fact I think I have only used a couple of the images on that cartridge. Thanks for reminding me to look at it again.
