Pull-out House Card

I thought this little card would be great for someone who bought a new house!
Here is how I made it:

The overall size of this card is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". If you start with a piece of paper this size you then cut the bottom square part to 3 1/2" long and 2 3/4" wide. Then make the roof a triangle from the tip of that.


I cut Basic gray strips and then used the scallop edge punch on one side. Use a sponge with Basic Gray ink and ink one side. Tape the strips across the top to make the roof.


Once they are all on, trim the sides to the shape of your white paper.


For the piece that it slides into it is 3 1/2 tall by 7 1/4" wide scored 2" in from both sides. Tape this like shown to fit the house into.


I added a chimney and the door and you are all done! The card slides in and out of the pocket and fits under the first row of shingles.
