Here’s my take on the house…
This little house is a place to keep your “hopes and dreams” written on strips of paper. I was originally going to make a slot in the top, kind of like a piggy bank, but I couldn’t bring myself to cut into it, I just thought it was way to pretty for that. I opted to make a pull tab with ribbon on the bottom so everything could be taken in and out from there.
Supplies: Sizzix House 3-D Pro Scoreboards Die #656836 by Eileen Hull, Sizzix Big Shot Pro Machine, Sizzix 12x12 white mat board, My Mind’s Eye papers (Pretty Polka, Girlfriends, and Sisters Lace from the Madison Avenue collection), acrylic paint, chalk ink (Chestnut Roan, ColorBox), alphabet stamps, black pen (0.1, Zig Millennium), ribbon, craft knife (Fiskars), craft tape (J and V Enterprises), Cameo Appearance Squeeze Punch (Large, Fiskars).
