Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop - Week 1 Rose Cottage

FINALLY, we got to the first week of the Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop!
Every Thursday, a new die from designers: Eileen Hull, Brenda Pinnick and Karen Burniston will be featured in very different ways by 62 designers! Click on the Sizzix button at the top right to jump from one design for a peek at some wonderful eye candy!

The first Sizzix design is from Eileen Hull, the 3-D House Die. Cut on a Sizzix machine using mat board, it is a very study form and so much fun to put together & decorate.

Here is my finished design using Eileen Hull's 3D House: Rose Cottage

When I first saw this die, I had fairy tale visions running throughout my head, thus Rose Cottage was created. Decorated with fabric roses, silver foil and scrapbook paper, this little cottage is waiting for a future queen to arrive.

A close up shot at the foiled entrance.

Late at night you can even see the soft glow of the lights from inside Rose Cottage, further beckoning tired wanderers in for a much needed rest.

To create this fairy tale cottage for your own little ones (or big ones):
