3D Cricut Gingerbread house with hooked on craft stamps
This project has taken me a few days to complete but I just had to create this idea which came to mind a few months ago. You may call me crazy but I had a lot of fun making this 3D house and it's awesome to see my idea come to life.
Full view of the house

Is that Mr Reindeer waiting for you at the door with a cup of hot cocoa?
Mr Snowman waiting by the tree. Is that Santa I can see in the window dropping off the presents?
Reindeer waiting in the sleigh for Santa to finish his work before they go to the next house.
Another Reindeer waiting by the chimney to pass Santa the presents!
Is that Mr Reindeer in the window hanging up his stocking for Santa?
While Mr Gingerbread man waits outside with treats.

I am entering this house into the following challenges:
Copic Oz challenge - Christmas with a twist
Scrap creations - Anything goes
Paper romance challenge - Winter theme
Fussy and fancy challenge - Anything but a card
I did it creations challenge - surprise me
Stamp something challenge - christmas colour combos
Secret crafter challenge - Christmas
How did I do it?
With the magical help of the cricut gypsy I was able to merge and weld images together to cut out on the cricut machine.
Winter woodlands cricut cartridge was used for the following:
I created the house using the 3d building 4 cut at 7.6 inches and used it across 2 pages which I taped together which was meant to be a fold. I hid the opening windows on the front and replaced them with rectangles to be cut out. The other parts of the house were also cut at 7.6 inches.
The 3d christmas tree was also used from this cart.
My paper dolls dress up was used for the fence which I welded together.
Christmas cricut cartridge:
I used the windows and shrunk and enlarged them to fit the windows on the house. I used the matching door and welded a long rectangle (George cartridge) on the side to act as the hinge. I used the door layer as the window for the attic and shrunk it to fit. I cut out acetate by hand and glued to the inside of the windows which I later added stickles glitter glue for snow effect.
Holiday cakes cricut cartridge:
I used the scallop border and enlarged it to fit the length of the roof by layering it over the roof in the gypsy to get the right dimensions. I also shrunk it to fit the attic and door roof as well. I layered these row after row which was tedious and I used stickles glitter on it as well. I also used the peppermint swirl candy and layered it with jac paper for the red glitter and stuck a bling in the centre.
Plantin Schoolbook:
I used the grass border which I welded
together for the icicles on the roof. I cut one layer out of white paper and another layer out of jac paper which I glittered to look like snow.
Christmas Cheer:
I used the candy canes from this cartridge and layered with jac paper again for the red glitter.
Candy on the fence was also cut from a group of lollies which I hid the parts I didn't want to cut.

Here is the sketch
The stamped image is from Hooked on craft and I used C-0001 Snowman from the christmas range.
I coloured in the image using copic markers and added some stickles and glitter on his hat and heart buttons. I dry embossed and distressed the red background which is layered over the candy stripe paper. I used a white mesh ribbon behind the square top layers. I used snowflake brads in the centre of the flowers and used a snowflake sticker and some bling on the top and bottom corner.

Double pocket bag challenge
I am entering this card and matching bag set into Christmas stamping all year long gift set challenge #5 - Double pocket bag the instructions for the bag can be found here. I have chosen a Aqua theme as it's my favourite colour and a little different from traditional christmas colours. This was quite an interesting challenge at first as I didn't quite understand how the bag could actually hold anything till I made it.
This would be great to give as a gift if you were giving gift vouchers or tickets that you could simply slip into the pockets on either side.
I coloured in the stamp images using Copic markers and used some stickles to add some sparkle.
The stamp images I used are from Hooked on craft and I used C-0003 Santa on my bag and C-0004 Snowman on my card. I also used a Happy christmas stamp from W-0002 for the centre of the flower.
