Happy Housecreeping!



How cute is this??! My friend ordered the Happy Hauntings cartridge for her Cricut and surprised me with the cutouts for not only the house but some trees as well! I accessed the booklet for the cart on Circut's website and proceeded to put it together. I totally recommend using a scoreboard to prescore your lines before bending only because some of the hash marks can get a little confusing if you're not sure where to fold. I also used my alcohol inks to color some acetate to put behind the windows so that when I place a light source in the house, they will glow. (Like in the second picture, I just held it up to the window to show you all how pretty it looks when it glows). Thanks for looking.
Materials Used:
  • Cricut Cartridge - Happy Hauntings
  • Cricut Expressions (unless you want a smaller house)
  • Black cardstock
  • Tim Holtz Andirondack Brights Alcohol Inks - Sunshine Yellow
  • a sheet of acetate
  • Martha Stewart Scoreboard
  • eXacto knife and cutting mat (to get those pesky window pieces that refuse to come out)
  • Tape
  • Glue
