Hello,
I wrote this post on Thursday, it just didn’t get published due to any reason. Here you go.
Today is a special day for me as my husband has returned home after being away for a month for work. It is always a celebration when he comes home to us, the kids are flying into his arms. As it is a regular thing in our life, happening every other month, I make a lot of welcome home cards. This time I wanted to make a house shaped card.

I have that die from MFT (Sweet home) which gives you all parts to build a house, which makes it so much easier, but it could be done with a craft knife too. I die cut my cardbase first from an A2Â white card, leaving the edge of the die on one side hanging off, so it doesn’t cut through. I cut the hole for the windows and the door. Then I cut my main house panel from adhesive cork sheet, with the windows and door placed exactly at the same spot as on the cardbase. I die cut all the decorative elements from dark brown cardstock, the roof 3 times and layered them on the base. before adhering the cork panel on the cardbase, I sandwiched a piece of acetate in between, so it looks like glass and still see through.

I cut a piece of grass with a lawn fawn border die from green cardstock and made a sweet home board hanging above the door using a cross stitch die from Lawn Fawn and heat embossing a sentiment from an older Lawn Fawn set in gold. I added 2 small gold brads and mounted it on the house with foam tape for dimension.

The last decoration I added was the 2 pots of flowers, using the house builder die elements and coloured cardstock. A tiny gold pearl in the middle of the flowers and my card was ready.

I love the way it turned out, I never made a shaped card before but it is super fun! Both my kids and even my mum asked me to make one for them đ

That is it for today, I hope you try making a shaped card also. It looks so unique.
Thanks for stopping by,
Hugs,
Zsofi

Sziasztok!
Ez a bejegyzĂ©s csĂŒtörtökön kĂ©szĂŒlt, csak valamiĂ©rt nem vĂĄlt publikussĂĄ…Ăme!
Ma egy kĂŒlönleges nap van szĂĄmomra, hazajött a fĂ©rjem egy hĂłnap munka utĂĄn. Ez mindig ĂŒnnep szĂĄmunkra, a gyerekek repĂŒlnek a karjaiba, amikor megĂ©rkezik. Mivel ez egy rendszeres dolog nĂĄlunk (minden mĂĄsodik hĂłnapot tud velĂŒnk tölteni szabadsĂĄgon), sok “ĂŒdv itthon” lapot kĂ©szĂtek. EzĂșttal egy hĂĄz alakĂșt.

Egy MFT sablonkĂ©szletet hasznĂĄltam a hĂĄzhoz, mert ebben minden rĂ©szletre van egy vĂĄgĂłkĂ©s, de kĂ©szĂthettek hasonlĂłt egy mƱvĂ©szkĂ©s Ă©s egy fĂ©mvonalzĂł segĂtsĂ©gĂ©vel is. ElĆször is a lap alapjĂĄt kĂ©szĂtettem el: a hĂĄzalap sablont egy fĂ©lbehajtott fehĂ©r kartonra tettem Ășgy, hogy az egyik szĂ©le lelĂłgjon picit a hajtĂĄsnĂĄl. Ăgy azt a rĂ©szt nem vĂĄgja ki, amikor ĂĄttekerem a Big Shot-on. Többször tekertem ĂĄt, mert kĂ©t rĂ©teg kartont vĂĄgtam egyszerre ĂĄt. UtĂĄna kihajtottam a lapot Ă©s az elĆoldalra elhelyeztem az ajtĂł Ă©s ablak nyĂlĂĄsokat. UtĂĄna kivĂĄgtam a hĂĄzalakot mĂ©g egyszer parafa lapbĂłl Ă©s az ajtĂł-ablak nyĂlĂĄsokat ugyanott, ahol a fehĂ©r alapon van. Mivel a parafa a dekorgumihoz hasonlĂłan megnyĂșlik egy picit vĂĄgĂĄs közben, az illesztĂ©s nem let teljesen tökĂ©letes, de a szĂ©leket ollĂłval megigazĂtottam, a nyĂlĂĄsoknĂĄl pedig a barna karton keret elfedte a hibĂĄkat. A parafa Ă©s fehĂ©r alap közĂ© ĂĄtlĂĄtszĂł mƱnyag lapot tettem. ĂltalĂĄban csomagolĂĄsokat hasznosĂtok Ășjra ehhez đ
A dekorĂĄciĂłs elemeket a hĂĄzra barna, zöld, rĂłzsaszĂn Ă©s kĂ©k kartonbĂłl vĂĄgtam Ă©s rĂ©tegeztem a hĂĄzra folyĂ©kony ragasztĂłval. A tetĆt 3-szor vĂĄgtam ki Ă©s ragasztottam egymĂĄsra, sokszorozva a 3D hatĂĄst. A feliratot egy Lawn Fawn szettbĆl Versamark tintĂĄval pecsĂ©teltem egy kivĂĄgott barna lapocskĂĄra, majd arany domborĂtĂłporral hĆdomborĂtottam. KĂ©t pici Milton kapocs szolgĂĄl “szögkĂ©nt”. A tĂĄblĂĄcskĂĄt 3D ragasztĂłval erĆsĂtettem a helyĂ©re. A virĂĄgok közepĂ©be egy-egy mini arany gyöngy kerĂŒlt (Rayher). Alulra egy kis fƱ (Lawn Fawn bordƱrvĂĄgĂł) Ă©s kĂ©sz đ

A gyerekeimnek Ă©s anyukĂĄmnak is annyira tetszett, hogy egybĆl hĂĄrom megrendelĂ©st is kaptam a következĆ hĂĄzra đ
MĂĄra ennyi, remĂ©lem inspirĂĄltalak Ă©s Ti is megprĂłbĂĄltok kĂ©szĂteni valami hasonlĂłt.
Ădv,
ZsĂłfi
