Oh how I love houses....paper-crafted, chipboard, fabric, canvas drawings, stamps, etc. I love images of houses simply because of what they represent. I have had in my stash for a while now a few chipboard house ornaments from Melissa Frances and had a minute to assemble one and then dress it up.
I used plenty of products from Frost it Pink as well as a few things from my stash.....I love my Christmas stash. You can see supplies listed below.
Next up, a metal tin ornament painted with Krylon Catalina Mist acrylic paint, covered in buttons, mica flakes, a paper medallion, vintage trim, scrunched seam binding from Craft Spot, and a fun Flair Button from A Flair for Buttons etsy shop.
The sentiment stamp is from Papertrey Ink's Framed Out #9 stamp set...just the right size for mini tags.
Speaking of Krylon Catalina Mist paint....I tried it out on a pumpkin. Be back shortly to show you how it all turned out. It's about time I get back into fall and Halloween, don't ya think?
Thanks for visiting!
Melis

That's a tough question, because I *loooove* your holiday projects! I first discovered your blog during Christmas, and I just could NOT stay away! This house is just so SO pretty, and so perfectly put together. You've reminded me to spray paint the Altoid tins I have stashed to play with as well!

I love houses too! The first time I saw a paper crafting blog was when I researched your beautiful chipboard Christmas house I'd seen in a card magazine. It was love at first sight. This little house is just as cute. I refer to them as "Sweet Offerings." Delicate, soft, lovely. A piece that any woman would treasure.
