Putz house fun

I love making these little beauties. This one is sold. I usually sell a few at this time of year. The roof is glittered as is the snow. Not over the top though. Inside is a battery tea light that casts a lovely glow at night. I have a village of these, each one being different.

Happy Crafting!

Halloween haunted house

I had a lot of fun making this little haunted house. It's made of card stock. There is vellum in the windows which give the tea light inside a soft glow. Look closely, there is a skeleton hand coming out of the ground by the gravestone, an owl, a skull and lots of bats flying around.

Beach Putz house

I changed it up with this glitter house. It has a beach theme. I had so much fun making this one! I used sand (with gllitter) on the ground. I made tiny logs to make  log and rope fencing. The paper used is from Graphic 45, with the anchors on it.) Look close near the door- a tiny pair of flip flops! I used real and faux shells along with shell pieces. A little sign points the way to the beach. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making. Happy Crafting!

Log Cabin Putz glitter house

I am fairly obsessed with these little houses! The process is fun and I love decorating them once the houses are together. I am now thinking BEACH...how cute would that be? More to come!

Shabby Chic Glitter House

I do have a feminine side and she loves the Shabby Chic look. I had fun making this little putz house, pink Santa and all!  I added rhinestone jewelry pieces to the roof line. The entire house sparkles, the camera just doesn't pick up the sparkle. 

Glitter houses aka Putz houses

I have always loved Putz houses. As a kid my neighbor had a church Putz house and I was fascinated with it. It sat on their mantle and I wanted to pick it up in the worst way. It was all glittery and I found myself staring at it. I imagined walking up to a glittered church and how wonderful that might be.

So now I make them. This one is glittered in blue glue. I love the tiled roof and the cute Santa. I used the Tim Holtz die to make this little house. More to come!  This one is blue. I added snow to the base. I leave the house unattached to the base so a battery tea light can light it up from the inside. Then the real magic begins!
Happy Crafting!

Christmas Village

I started this village  three years ago and have added to it each year. This year I made the new die series from Tim Holtz and really love them. I plan on making more. Each house has a fake tea light inside it and so they glow in the evening and I added fairy lights around them. It looks magical! Enjoy!

First glitter house complete. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Glitter House

I have always loved glitter houses and churches. I used the Tim Holtz village BigZ die for this house.  He always seems to be so on trend.  I used chip board for this one and painted it with acrylic paints. I am making another one now out of paper. I plan on putting battery tea lights in them and adding them to my Christmas decorations I made last year. 

Finally all moved in and starting to craft again

It's been a long time since I posted. Between packing, moving, closing, unpacking and nesting, I just didn't have time.  Now my new studio is set up finally. So I started crafting and it feels great! I am thinking about Christmas gifts. I am making those pretty little glitter putz houses.

Glitter house, no glitter yet

I used the Tim Holtz  BigZ die for the house and cut it out of chipboard. It's pretty sturdy. I'll try cardstock next and see which i like better. I used dimensional paint on the roof and chimney for texture. I'll post again when I add the glitter.  

I ordered the add on dies to make the other houses and such....waiting patiently (read, not really) for those to arrive!  I want to make a whole village.
