I have been a long time lover of all things Fiskars!  From my good, old grey and orange 12x12 trimmer to every squeeze punch that I can get my hands on, Fiskars tools are well made and easy to use.  So with some Heidi Grace papers and embellishments and a few of favorite tools I created this whimsical little house.

Instructions (Print version)

1. Paint the wooden house and lightly sand when dry.
2. Cut various patterned papers to fit inside the small openings, sand the edges and adhere.
3. Using the Oopsie Daisy Extra Large Squeeze Punch, punch out four daisies from a piece of cardstock.  Outline the shapes with a black pen and attach them to the center opening of the house.
4. Attach chipboard punch outs to flower centers and for the stems and leaves.
5. Using small scalloped paper edgers, cut two strips and add them inside the peak of the house.

6. Layer the chipboard letters on strips of cardstock and add an outline with a black pen.  Attach the title inside the top portion of the house, alternating each letter with foam squares so that some are flat and some are raised.
7. Attach dimensional word stickers to the upper right opening in the house and the lower left opening.  Embellish with chipboard punch outs.

8. Add polka dot rub ons horizontally along the bottom and just before the peaked roof.
9. Add photos.
