It’s time for the new Sizzix Chapter 3 Eileen Hull release! Today we are taking a look at the House Ornament- which is not just for the holidays by the way…
About the House Ornament
We moved around a lot when I was little and then I married a military man and moved some more. I love finding a house and adding special touches that make it our home. Home is comfort, stability and where everything starts. And ends, by the looks of my studio! Since this Chapter 3 release focuses on the holiday season, the idea of making a house as a Christmas ornament appealed to me. But of course, there are so many other ways to use it…
It is a ScoreBoards die, designed to cut and score thick material like matboard and chipboard. As you will see in the following projects, you can decorate this little house in numerous ways! You will need to cut two of the base pieces and trim off the floor of one of them. I adhere my house together with Therm O Web Red Liner tape to make sure that it stays together. One of my favorite parts of the die are two teeny tiny house shaped tags that I can’t wait to make a little book from <3
Here is a recent Facebook Live show where I cut recycled cardboard and created a shabby beach house, embossing it with my new Emerald Creek Molten Dimensions embossing powders. I love how these turned out and want to make a whole set. I think they would be cute to hang in a little tree or maybe create a little vignette under glass and surround with sand. It’s fun to think of ways to use it! I know at the holidays it would be adorable with a battery tealight inside to set on a holiday table or maybe to give a special gift in. Stay tuned – I’m sure we will have lots of ideas for you!
And now for the Team’s samples…
Pam Bray made an adorable Mixed Media House Ornament and Tag Album. She decorated the house with her very own stamps by Blank Page Muse and Clearsnap Blends inks- so pretty!
Jenny Marples is ready for Christmas with her cozy brick House Ornament. Head over to her blog to see all the fun techniques she used to make it! I love how she decorated the roof using leaves from the Journaling Card- Flowers & Leaves die!
Tonya Trantham made a Beach Babe House! Check out all of the fun details like a life preserver, framed swimmer on a raft and her gorgeous signature flowers on her blog.
Julia Aston is sharing an out-of-this-world Adventure Awaits Notebook. You have to check out her post to see how she created all of the cool effects she used in the making of this project. Wow!
