Hi there friends! Brandie here with an alternate theme for the Valentine House Box. (SVG, Silhouette) Thi little house comes in a Spring, Halloween, and Christmas version but I wanted a St Patrick’s Day house. To get this theme I also used the St Patrick’s Day Icons (SVG, Silhouette) and the Shamrock Cluster (SVG, Silhouette).
Once I had everything uploaded into Design Space I went to work deleting the images I wouldn’t be needing. The hearts, mailbox, and banner. I also only used two of the shamrocks and rainbow/pot of gold images.
I then resized the tree to 3.141 inches wide by 5.183 inches high. I flattened the rainbow and cloud together and resized it to 5.5 inches wide by 4.158 inches high. The pot of gold is 1.216 wide by 1.084 high. The gold coins are 1.739 inches wide by .479 high. I also color coordinated the images to the papers I would be using.
There is already a great tutorial on how to assemble this box that you can find here. The only things I changed was to glue the tree up front and to glue the rainbow to the back of the house.
I love how easy it to alter this house box. I think it would be cute with a beach theme, an Easter theme, and Fall theme too. If you go to Lori store and search icons the possibilities are endless.
Thanks for stopping by today!

This is adorable!!!
What is the finished size of the house?
What is the paper you used for the front of the house?
I Love this house!
Also wondered what paper you used. So stinkin cute. Love it!!
Hi Liz and Sharon. The paper is a Doodlebug paper from the Happy Go Lucky Collection.
Hi Tressa! The finished house is 6.25 inches by 2.5 inches. The tree an rainbow make the house 6.5 inches wide.
Hi Brandi, love this house. I’m new at this, and tried to make the rainbow. Totally lost though. Do I cut each rainbow color out differently? Then glue onto chipboard. I don’t know how to make it with my Silhouette Cameo. Any hints or help appreciated. Love learning something new! Thank you. .
Hi Sharon,
I used the print and cut feature for the rainbow. (with photo paper) I have a Cricut machine and do not know how the Cameo works. I’m sorry I cant be of more help.
Sharon,
You could use print and cut to do the rainbow, or in Silhouette you could copy the shape, select all of the pieces and right mouse click, weld. This will give you a base piece to glue the rainbow stripes to if you wanted.
