House Milk Cartons

The Milk Carton die can also be a House, too. I made one of these a couple weeks ago but had not made the tutorial for it. So, a couple more homes sprung up. The homes have their own landscaping around the house. This exclusive die from SU is so cute and great for little gifts to give. These homes are sitting on a bed of Old Olive Designer Series Pattern Paper.....looks like grass! I have a read picket fence (not a white one) around the homes.

To get the treat, open the bottom:

Here are the front and top view of the homes:

Here are the side and back view - see the trees?:

(1) 4" x 2" Close to Cocoa CS for the roof, score 1/2" along the 2" side.

(1/2) Very Vanilla CS punched 1/2" circle for the window in the rafter

Left Photo: to make the roof - put through crimper

Right Photo: Use scallop boarder punch along both 2" sides. Fold roof in half. At the 1/4" roof overhang, clip out 1/8" to "0" at the center to allow the roof to fold to make a "mountain" shape.

Right photo: Stamp Trees using Old olive ink. Use the cling tree stamps set side by side on the acrylic block which is perfectly spaced between the fold lines of the milk carton.

Left Photo: Stamp the same trees on the milk carton using Close to Cocoa ink (for the trunks - right?) Then apply dimensionals.The stamped tree tops are to cut out and placed on top of the trees.

Right photo: Assemble the carton sides. Add sticky tape right above the carton fold line to each side for the roof. Apply the roof top one side at a time. Add one mini glue dot to the front center of the roof at the 1/4" overhang. Your project is now complete. Optional: Add a butterfly to the roof, attach using a mini glue dot.
