Cuttlebug Gingerbread House

This is the finished Cuttlebug Gingerbread House. I made it as my entry into the contest for Remember This in Mexico, MO. To cast a vote, you have to bring in a canned good for the local food pantry. A great idea!

The top picture is the front of the house and the second picture is the back view.

I started with the base and covered the 7x8.5 chipboard using sugar coated white cardstock. Next I glued the "Snowflakes" by Little Yellow Bicycle on top. Next I started constructing the house. It is by Sweet Chips Chipboard. This one is "Little Folding House." I then cuttlebugged lots of patterns and started covering the pieces. The chimney was my own addition as it was not in the kit.

After I had the house all done, I started thinking about the add-ons. The large tree was three pieces that I cut and folded edges to the inside and then glued together. I glued on the decorations and then glued it down to the base. I made small trees and added them to two corners of the house. The medium sized tree was made with two triangles. Then a slit was cut from the top of one triangle to the middle and then a slit was cut from the bottom to the middle on the other triangle. I then slid the slots together to form this tree. I glued a snowflake to the top for the star. I cut out 3 embossed packages to put at the bottom of the large tree.

I made a walkway up to the front door and cuttlebugged it. I then used wire and glued on stars back to back on the wire, curled the wire and glued it into the chimney for smoke. I added a wreath on the back of the house.

I will post some detail pictures at the end of this hopefully! As you can tell it did not let me add more pictures, so I will have to do another post later.

This was sooooooo much fun! The possibilites are endless! I LOVE my CUTTLEBUG!
