Today is Day 2 of the Autumn Blessings Blog Hop. I love shaped cards and the newest dies from the Autumn Blessings Release make the most incredible shaped cards! Today I'm sharing both a house shaped card with the House Builder Dies and a Halloween house with the Halloween House Builder Add On Dies. I love how you can create two completely different houses by changing up the colors and embellishments! Let's get started!

My absolutely favorite thing about the House Builder dies, other than how stinking cute they are, is that this shaped card fits inside a standard A2 envelope! That's right, friends, no larger envelope needed for these cuties! How awesome is that?!!
The roof for the house was die cut from Lawn Fawn Storm Cloud Cardstock and was scored every 1/4" to add texture. The roof was adhered to the top of the front of the house panel as shown.
The window and trim of the house were die cut from smooth white cardstock.
The inside of the house (or pieces that go behind the windows) were die cut from Hero Hues Arctic Cardstock.
I hope this has inspired you to create your own incredible shaped house cards!
