I finally got another Halloween house done. This one was pretty fun and I am pleased with the results. I tried to do something a little different from previous houses - you don't want to get in a rut. As usual, I used a bunch of different dies and punches for the details on the house. I did cut out the house without a die though.

Thank you for your kind comments.

Howard, I thought about making a real flattie (with flattie details) with the witch punch cutout, I think it will work pretty easily. I have 2 other houses almost done based on your witch's lair pattern and I am planning on making your witch flattie for one of them.

I drew the board siding on a piece of plain white cardstock so I can copy it onto regular copy paper and glue it to the front of any sized house. Then I did a grey wash on the thinner paper before I glued it one. This way I have it as a template forever and I can do different colors for houses. I know I am stuck on grey, but I do hope to make a purple and an orange halloween house.

Also, the paper glued on the house eliminates the rough fold houses edges that I always seem to get.

I included a photo of the random board siding. I guess I could turn it into a pdf in case someone would like to use it, but I have to go to work now. Maybe tonight after my shift is over.

Thank you again, everybody. Lucy
