This week's Art Impression challenge is "Itty Bitty" so I decided to make a mini card out of the Art Impression's Gingerbread house from the Gingerbread Cubbies set.
To make this a card, I folded a piece of cardstock and then placed the house die with the left side just over the edge of the fold so that when you cut the house, the left edge doesn't cut, but instead, is the fold of the card. To finish the inside of the card (no windows or door cuts), I made another die cut of the house on scrap paper and traced it onto plain white cardstock, then I fussy cut it out, trimming the left side to accommodate for the fold and glued it to the inside. Now you have a plain inside for your sentiment.
You can make almost any die cut a card by using this technique. I think the Art Impression's school bus from the School Bus Cubbies set would be adorable as a flip up card. Gotta try that one next! I've been wanting to make this Gingerbread cubbies since Christmas and just never found the time, so who says you can't make Christmas cards in March. 😂 This would make a great tag on a Christmas bag! Can't wait to make more! Too stinkin' cute!!
These little cubbie sets are soooo fun to make and play with. Hope you get to try them out for yourself!
Enjoy!
