Hi bloggers! Did you know that you can easily make the Gingerbread House into a 3D project by just using the Gingerbread house roof die with it? I will walk you through the steps and give you the measurements needed in today's video. Use an electric tealight (no open flames) inside to make it glow through the windows too!
The winner of this week's Wednesday Card Giveaway is:
Donita Naylor!!!
Congratulations! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card.
The finished dimensions are 3 1/2" x 3" x 4". All for now, Sue x

Daily hugs to all.
Beautiful cute little gingerbread house. Congratulations to the winner.
ReplyDeleteDon't know what's wrong with my fingers that should have been Jelky and the boys got a new puppy. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteKelly, I give up
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant concept and it's a fabbie size too! So many of these 3D dies make such teenie tiny things that are quiet useless, but this definitely doesn't fall in that category, so it's fantastic in my book.

Great gingerbread house, you could go crazy with decorations on this.
ReplyDeleteReally cute house... love all the details! Fun project!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue

Congratulations Donita!

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, this is such a lovely creation, I never bought the die but will have to change my mind now after seeing this. The tea light is the perfect combination too.
ReplyDeletePam I reiterate all you have said above, don't worry about the fingers, mine are doing that all the time. I can type over 100 words per minute but these new keyboards with the keys so close together and the extra keys in different places means I have to keep looking at the keyboard which frustrates me, I think there is a little gremlin inside.
Off to a Groovi workshop this morning, got all my stuff packed and ready by the door.
Congratulations Donita,
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Love the house. I don't have these dies but will have to add them to the list I think.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Donita on your win.
Thoughts and prayers to all in need.

Congrats to Donita.

This is a real fun project, even my teenage granddaughters would love it. Thank you Sue. Xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your gorgeous gingerbread house, my grandchildren will have so much fun making one too. I might even tell the Brownies about it. They have a stall at Cannington Christmas and sell cards, tags and simple gifts they have made to raise funds.
I buy a gingerbread house every Christmas but none of my family like gingerbread so as the Terry's choc orange phrase goes 'It's mine, all mine'. Not even Pete liked gingerbread but he did eat ginger biscuits.
Congratulations Donita on your win, enjoy your prize dear heart.
Results back from all my tests & x-rays and surprize, surprize nothing wrong according to the hospital. That does not explain why I have so much pain in my hips and legs. My doctor is sending me a précis of the results and also referring me to another consultant for discovery. Keep taking the tablets and grin and bear it is the action at the moment. I shall soon rattle.
Gentle hugs and healing prayers to all in need of them. I hope your day becomes kinder to you.
Love 7 hugs

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a great video thus morning and such a cute gingerbread house. It's a lovely idea putting tea lights in them, they would look lovely holding placenames and lighting each once on Christmas Day wouldn't they. I can see funds being raised for many a school sale and girlguide/brownie group with these. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx

Great card. Cute. Laura O
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, your gingerbread house is so cute. I love it with the little opening door and tea light inside. Thanks for your video. Congratulations to the lucky card winner.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I love this Gingerbread House and you could have so much fun adding things like Candi to the walls to look like sweets. I like Sam's idea of filling it with sweeties as it would make a lovely gift. Your video explains the construction perfectly, thank you.
ReplyDeletePam - Dave sounds great and we all know that animals have magic healing powers.
Dawn - I'm so sorry you have had bad news healthwise and hope that you get the help you need.

So cute! Xxxx
ReplyDeleteDear Sue and Everyone,
ReplyDeleteI was just going to pop in for an eyeful of the card. Wasn't going to comment because of the late hour (in the U.S.) but THEN saw my name. Completely stunned. Incredulous. Remember when I said that the winners would be going around all week not knowing that something good was about to befall them? Of course it wouldn't be me. Looking forward to seeing one of Sue's cards in real life and being able to study the bow, layers and stickpins.
Will watch the video after recharging.
Pam, your three posts were the finest in comedy this morning.
The grandpuppy Dave makes me happy. A bright spot for everyone.
Apple loves changing my name to Donuts. It even happens to me, which is embarrassing for someone who used to be an editor..
Thank you for reminding me that I'm a lucky girl. All of you are my third thing.
Elaine, I have never heard of an ActiFry or a Hologen. I'm guessing electric deep-fat fryer and microwave oven. Glad to hear the birthday boy could put away such a big steak.
Extra love to those who need some,
Donita (Donuts)
Looks amazing. Had to take a second look as it almost looked like a cake house. Love it
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winner

Hi Sue, lovely card . Love Jean Z xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. I can't believe how much detail you have put into these dies and the finished result is fabulous. Very Hansel and Gretal.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Gorgeous gingerbread house. It's really cute and so much fun, especially with the addition of the very realistic little tea light. I don't have these dies but I can see I will have a struggle to resist them.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Donita on winning this week's lovely card! Enjoy!
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLove the gingerbread house. My grandchildren would love this, every year we make a gingerbread house. It always gets smashed and eaten on Christmas Eve. It has become a pre Christmas ritual. Your version would be a real keepsake.
Hugs Brenda xxx
Such a darling decoration for the mantel or Christmas table. I love the light inside.

Congratulations Donita Naylor.

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteJust caught up with everyone's comments am afraid wfI is a bit hit or miss.Sue love your Christmas offerings.Having a lovely time but too hot.Hugs to all
What a cute gingerbread house you have made. You make the construction of the house and candies look so easy, too. What fun! I am so pleased you did a video showing how to do this. I would be adding some type of Peppermint fragrance diffuser inside the little house along with the battery powdered tea-light. What? No royal icing had to me made either nor sugar all over the house!
ReplyDeleteReally cute little gingerbread house.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm a bit late but I have watched the video and the one from the other day!! I'm playing Catch up or something!
The little house is beautiful and isn't at all complicated either thanks to your lovely Dies and then the video to boot!! As I read down the comments there have been some good ideas about possible additions too , as well as alternative uses!
Donita - I'm so pleased you have won! You don't have the chance to attend the Craft Shows here where you can see Sue's work in real life. You will love it! As for the new name - it made me giggle! Congratulations on your other win too and love your idea for a fender/ bumper sticker!! See, I'm bilingual!! Lol!
Crewe Trish - sorry it's too hot - it isn't here !! Have a lovely family time!
Pam - the new puppy sounds gorgeous! He has a sensible name too! I've heard a few mad ones when I've been out and about!! Predictive text gets us all! I remember someone once turned Norah into Norway!!!
Have a good weekend ladies!
Lots of love, Myra ( Friend of Maureen!!) xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
Stunning, such a beautiful Christmas project, or a project for other times of the year, i.e. birthdays, anniversaries, etc. You have made it so easy to build (and so quick), I should imagine once you have made it you would fly through it the next time. Fantastic.
Cheers,

Love the gingerbread house Sue. Looks fun to make. Thank you for this wonderful die. Elaine glad you have sorted your Christmas dies and stamps. I must do the same. Have been saying that after I put the. Away last Christmas. They are all in different boxes. I need one box for all the Christmas dies then perhaps I can make a start on the cards. Echoing Pam's comments.
ReplyDeleteThe Gingerbread House is so cute and looks such fun to make. Thanks for a super video which makes it seem really do-able for me.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Donuts Donita on winning the card giveaway. Let us know what your third piece of luck is.
