Cardboard Christmas

Here are the last 2 houses I completed for 2016. The clock house is for the person I call "my biggest fan". He's 4 and just goes crazy about the houses. I am afraid that won't last too many more years, but in the meantime, I love having him as my biggest fan. I decided to do a clock house based on the kitchen display that Maria posted. The design evolved from the 2 that Maria posted. I will be making one closer to Maria's house in the future as I think I like it better.

The other one is for a co-worker who moved out of state to be closer to her family. She admired the recent house that I gave another co-worker so I made this one to look similar.

I look forward to seeing everyone's 2017 projects.

Great stuff, Lucy. You are incredibly talented and generous. Long live your biggest fan's interest.

Thank you for sharing pics.

Lucy...

it's amazing how many different houses you have been able to make with that one die...I haven't covered a house with what looks like gift wrap but may just have to give it a try...

Howard,
I drew out a simple pattern and I actually cut these out by hand. I learned a lot when I copied your witches lair pattern that makes cutting out the pattern easier and sturdier - the roof extensions that go under the gable flaps.

The Christmas house is very similar to Little Charmer with the front gable extension in the middle. I based it on a house I saw on my bike trip. I will include a photo below.

I covered both of them with scrapbook papers, but gift wrap would work.

GREAT houses Lucy!!! They are all super charming!!!! The santa in the window is perfect.
