Kiwi Lane goes 3D with Authentique Paper
EVERY Day until Christmas we are celebrating with Kiwi Lane Designs! Join us here on the blog for inspirational projects each day from our Design Team!

I'm excited to share with you this fun project that I created when thinking about decorating for the Holidays – can you tell that I had gingerbread houses on my mind? When looking at my selection of Kiwi Lane templates to work with I had this idea of wanting to create something that was a little more on the 3D side of things and I ended up creating this great little house. Here's how to make your own...
Start by cutting two tags from “Classic” paper using Kiwi Lane Tags #5 template. Next cut two pieces of “Classic” measuring 3-½˝ x 4-¾˝. Score the two cut pieces ¼˝ in from the long sides of the paper on both sides to create tabs. Apply Scor-It tape onto the tabs only.
Attach the pieces together to create the walls. Cut one piece of “Confection” paper to 3-½˝ square for the base. Apply clear glue to the bottom of the walls and glue onto the base.
Cut one piece of “Confection” paper to 4-½˝ x 5-½˝ to create the roof piece. Score both short sides 2˝ in from the sides. To create a decorate edge along the roof, use the Kiwi Lane Large Brackets template to cut along the traced lines. Edge sides of the roof with Memento Luxe Love Letter. Apply clear glue to the top of the walls and secure roof. Trace/cut two pieces of “Classic” paper using Kiwi Lane Tag #4. Use hole as guide for punching holes at the top of the tags. Edge tages with Memento Luxe Northern Pine. Add decorative May Arts ribbon to tags. Adhere tags to sides with dimensional tape.
Embellish roof with trim and poinsettias from Petaloo.
Add Joyous collection embellishments to the house – puzzle pieces, stickers, etc.
Supplies:
Authentique Paper "Joyous" paper collection
Kiwi Lane borders and tags templates
Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko Memento Luxe Mixed Media Pigment ink in Love Letter, Northern Pine
May Arts ribbon
Petaloo trims, poinsettias

ReplyDeleteI have a birdhouse that I bought last summer and haven't decorated. this would make a great embellishment for the house. I'd also use it for my greeting cards. thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThis birdhouse is amazing! I just love the puzzle pieces and the cosy Christmas colours. I would love to use this template to make a pretty birdhouse myself to hang in our Christmas tree.

Forgot to mention what I would do with the templates. I have plans to start a monthly ladies' craft day at church for our community to teach other gals some of the techniques I've learned. I would share my templates there. Fun!

ReplyDeleteWhat a creative way to use the tags templates to make a 3D birdhouse! Now that I've seen this, I would use the templates to make my own version!
