Hello, my crafty Friends!
Today I have probably one of my largest projects to share with you! I'm so pleased with how it turned out, hopefully, the recipient will love it just as much!
This house comes from SVGCuts Mistletoe Manor SVG Kit, but of course, I had to add my own touches to it! I do have to give Thienly Azim lots of credit for my inspiration as well, as I have incorporated touches of her Home For Christmas project. (One of my all-time favorite SVGCuts DT projects from her, if you haven't seen it it's definitely worth checking out!)
Well, what do you think? Isn't she a beauty!?
So realistic looking... I can't believe it's made out of paper!
For those of you interested here are all the SVGCuts kits I used:
(yup, there were lots!)
House - Mistletoe Manor SVG Kit
Patio Greens - Clara’s Christmas Strips SVG Collection
Chimney - December Gifts SVG Kit
Porch Greens - 3D Wintergreens
Bows - SVG File 3D Bow 2/25/12
Wreathe - Silent Night SVG Kit
Silhouettes - Kate's Silhouettes SVG Collection
Silhouette Trees - Forest County SVG Collection
Planters - Happy Thanks SVG Kit
Some other alterations I made to the house was to create little holes in the roofline to poke my Christmas lights through. I also added siding panels to my copula, to match the middle floor siding.
I wanted to create some realistic-looking icicles. Creating them was super simple!
Using a glue gun, simply apply the glue to a craft mat in a straight line as long as you need it. Then go back and attach the glue icicles to the line. If you don't have a craft mat you can also use parchment paper (any nonstick surface will work). Wait for the glue to dry completely and attach it to your project!
I also wanted to add some realistic-looking snow. I used Snow-tex from DecoArt, which I purchased at Micheal's. This stuff is awesome! It didn't seem to warp my paper at all, and was dry within a few hours!
For the little snowballs on the trees, I used Liquid Applique. This stuff is so much fun, it's almost magical. Goes on wet, but add your heat gun to it and watch it magically puff up!
One of my favorite touches is the Silhouette of a woman at the door. Looks like she is waving goodbye to someone!
Well, I guess that goes for me too!
Goodbye, everyone ;)
Hope you enjoyed and were inspired by my version of SVGCuts Mistletoe Manor!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting :)
