Sweet Home Gable Favor Boxes

It's time for another FSJ Creative Team Blog Hop!  I am excited that we are sharing with you items from the new release, Easter Blessings. 

The new products I get to share are my FAVORITE things in this new release; the Sweet Home Accents Die Set.  This set is designed to go with the Gable Favor Box, from the last release in December. I love that I now have fun new dies to use with my Gable Favor Box to turn it into a house. If you are not familiar with the Gable Favor Box die set, check out my blog post featuring it HERE. You can see the Sweet Home Accents Die set below, a set of 9 dies. 

There are so many cute things you can do with these dies and I am excited to share them with you today. I have created 5 different houses with this set and the Gable Favor Box. So, let's take a look. And if you scroll down you will also find a video introducing this die set and showing it use. 

I really had so much fun making these little houses!  And when I realized I could use my Winter Build-a-Scene dies with it for the roof and fence I was thrilled. The printed paper I used on these boxes is also from this release, it is the Create and Bloom Prints pack, check out my video to see all the prints, and I have linked it with all the products at the end of this post. 

Next up is the Orange house, it might be my favorite. 

Look at the little kitty in the window!  And the gingham roof. I also used the Border Basics die set for a few of the roofs. Any scallop die or punch could be used to make the roof for these houses. I partially die cut the large rectangle die from this set to create a door that opens and closes. 

Most all the the elements added to the front of these die cut boxes are doubled or tripled up to make them more sturdy. You just die cut two or three of the same piece, glue and stack them together to make a thicker element. This gives them a more 3D look. 

For this yellow house I cut the rounded window die apart, saving the rounded part for the window on the door. And if you watch the video you can see how I made the chimney on the orange and yellow houses, using the flower pot die. 

All of the door knobs on the houses are gems from the All The Things accessory pack. I love that I was able to do a rainbow of houses and use just one accessory pack for all the doors.  I guess that's why it's called "All The Things". 

The other thing I love about this die set is the tiny heart that comes in it. I love a tiny heart die. I need them in every shape and size really!  I mean who doesn't!?!  For this house I used the bottom half of the rounded window only, cutting off the rounded top. The curtain piece is from the Winter Build-a-Scene die set. And, I did some partial die cutting to get the rounded door. 

And I have to say, this plaid paper is my FAVEorite print int he Create and Bloom prints!  

There was not a print in this pack I wanted to use for my blue house, so I brought out the Buffalo Check stencil. I mean who does not want to live in a buffalo checked house? RIGHT!?!  

This house is like the DIY, upcycle, reduce, reuse, recycle house. I saved the little negative pieces from the rounded window; the squares and the tear drop shapes. I then tiled the roof with the squares and I made a flower with the raindrop shapes. Waste not want not. And I am now feeling like I am part of the tiny house movement!  

Have you noticed that my windows are backed with Vellum?  I love that added touch to the windows.  And if you'd like to see how I made these boxes check out the video below.

I hope you are inspired and will create some of your own houses with these fun dies. All of the products I used to make these houses are linked for you at the end of this blog post. If you make a house, I'd LOVE to see it!
