Gingerbread House from Silhouette

Here's a great surprise post!!! My friend got her Silhouette Cameo and we both had to "play". For those who don't know anything about the Silhouette Cameo, allow me to enlighten you! The Cammie (as we affectionately call her) is a sleek cutting machine with Design and cutting capability linked up with your computer. Silhouette has download able cutting files from their library. We downloaded this cute Gingerbread House for the initial project. Yup, all the pieces cut are from the Silhouette store except the gumdrops which are from the SVGcuts.com Warm Gingerbread Cards using my SCAL computer program. All the gumdrops have Stardust stickles on their caps and then popped with dimensionals. The scallop edge of the roof is also outlined using Stardust Stickles. Pop the front door wreath with dimensionals, decorate with red adhesive rhinestones, and then add a twine bow using a mini glue dot. The front door knob is a 1/4" punched circle, popped with a dimensional. Give the Gingebread men some character with a white gel pen. Finished project size: 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" x 5-3/8" (at highest part of the house).

House right side: Before assembling the house, sponge the edges with SU Close to Cocoa ink.

House Back: tree is embossed using the SU Snowburst Embossing folder, red adhesive rhinestones randomly positioned.
