Ever wanted a card as unique as your ideas? Imagine creating a tiny house… on a card!
I’m back with more inspiration from Concord & 9th and their wonderful Holiday release! If you missed it, I’ve shared tips for using stencils on holiday cards, explored a modern twist on traditional reds and greens, showcased a fresh color palette for festive wreaths, even created a full shaker Christmas Cracker.

#SHAPEDCARDS
Shaped cards are a great way to make something unique and eye-catching. They’re fun to create and even more fun to send!
Shaped Card Tips
- Die Cut or DIY: Use a layering die for precision, or cut your own shape for a personal touch.
- Keep it Balanced: Plan your base and layers carefully so the card will stand properly.
- Round Cards: Use a paper trimmer to cut a small section of the base of the back panel so the card can stand upright.
- Layer & Decorate: Add details, embellishments, or interactive elements to enhance the design.
- Envelopes: Matching envelopes can be handmade if needed to fit the unique shape.
Card Spotlight: Layered House Shaped Card
Ever wanted a card that’s as unique as your design ideas? With this Layered House Shaped Card, you can build your very own little house right on the card! From cozy holiday homes to colorful, everyday designs, this versatile die lets your creativity run wild – and yes, you can even peek through the windows with little lights if you like.
I can’t wait to light these windows up… in fact, today it took all my effort not to put shaker bits behind the window with the tree! 😲
BONUS IDEA: This house isn’t just for the holidays – it could celebrate a new home, welcome a new baby, or even be transformed into a church for a fun wedding card!
This layered house die is a game-changer! Whether you’re building a holiday scene or a non-seasonal card, it’s full of fun possibilities. I can’t wait to experiment with lights and extra decorations!

Therese, your cards have been just delightful! This last one has my heart – you know how much I love building snowy white paper houses, right? Your decorated for Christmas is just adorable – I’ll be watching for those lights to go on!
=]
I know right… everything is interactive, maybe I need to change it up – HA who am I kidding right lol.
This is just as cute as it can be! I could live in this darling little house. I would have to have my hubby hang the letters from the roof though…that’s too high for me!
Wouldn’t it be a fun house to craft in Lisa!
Therese I just love this little Christmas house.
Very much into shaped cards at the moment.
I just love the stories they tell.
Really enjoying the colour combos you’ve been using for your festive cards too.

The size of this house makes it perfect for a stand alone shaped card, and all the add-on elements are so much fun…. I just had to use it again (coming soon)!
Super adorable! This makes me want to make a shaped card now.
You go GF, I can’t wait to see it!
Beautiful,fun, fresh, and cheery Christmas house, love the dimension on the Merry.
Marie
It’s such a fun die set, I just had to use it again… keep your eyes out for that one!
Does this fit into an A2 size envelope?
Hi Patty, YES the house die does fit in an A2 envelope, though I would be careful if you wanted to add trees like I do (hanging over the edges). Let me know if you have any other questions. Crafty hugs Therese
