For the next six weeks I will be participating in the Sizzix Blog Hop every Thursday along with almost 60 other designers.
Q: What is Sizzix?
A: Sizzix is a company that makes tools for die cutting — from electronic machines to hand cranked ones, from simple shape dies to complex pop up elements, they've got it all!
Q: What is a blog hop?
A: A blog hop is an online event where the viewer can "hop" from blog to blog.
Q: What is a Sizzix Blog Hop?
A: Every Thursday for six weeks almost 60 designers will share what they have created with the same exact die cut. You get a chance to see how many different ways these dies can be used! To follow the hop, each designer has a hop logo (like the one in the center column of this blog) and you simply click the "next" button to be taken for a ride through cyberspace!
First up is the 3-D House die designed by Eileen Hull.
It's designed to cut matboard. And this is what the matboard pieces that I received in the mail looked like:
This is the sample image of the finished project from the Sizzix website:
And here is my version:
My original intention was for it to be a fun little birthday centerpiece, but now I'm thinking you could probably fit a cupcake inside. And what a nice way to give a cupcake to someone, right?!
Check out the details:
The front of the flag has this little happy birthday sentiment. (For purposes of understanding scale, that flag pole is a toothpick. The house is really quite petite.) The rear has a candle.
The surface is collaged and painted and draped in a banner of book page flags.
Be sure to hop on to the next blog to see a totally different take on the house!
Thanks for stopping by!

Yeah for blog hops…love the flags around the house and the colors you used Julie. I know that I would be thrilled to receive a house like that with a cupcake in it for my b-day so I suggest you give it away!

love the concept of a cupcake house..so artsy! finally planning on taking some time to play myself. tomorrow night is project completion night at our church. most of us scrapbook, but we’ve had people bring ceramics, mosaics, quilting, crosstitching..etc. my goal is to set some time (at least 2 continuous hour/week) aside to work on an art journal, paint, scrapbook whatever..to just create
PS you are officially know as “the fei fan” at our house. we just love the way it sounds! my 11 yr. old daughter and I just purchased your video, and I would be embarrassed to admit how many times we’ve seen it!

Hmmm. My comment from yesterday is not showing up. How odd! Julie- you made me gasp when I saw this. My original comment was something about how the cupcake wouldn’t live up to the container! Your use of color is amazing. I love the joy in this piece.
