Tim Holtz Gingerbread House Die with Shari Carroll

Happy Friday! It’s Shari here with another house from the Tim Holtz Village dies series.

When I first thought of doing this Gingerbread house, I was thinking pastels and sugary treats. But then my inner grey kicked in and I went with modern Peppermint inspired colors.

I used the Simon Says Stamp Slate cardstock as the base for my house, it’s so stunning and contrasts well against the white and red.

The roof is made of three colors Fog, Schoolhouse Red and White. Using color cardstocks makes coordinating easy, I used less than a full sheet of each color.

I have put together two videos for this project, you can view them below or on our YouTube channel; Part One and Part Two.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create a village for the holidays!

And before I go, Happy Veterans Day!

  1. This is so very cute. I really love the colors you went with. Red and grays are one of my favorite winter color combos.

  2. Oh this is so fresh! I love it! I have to make eight of these this week for Thanksgiving and was going for traditional colors, but you have inspired me to change it up. Thanks for the tutorial, I was hoping Tim Holtz would post one, but this is even better! I’m inspired and can’t wait to start!

  3. I love setting out “little houses” like these when decorating my home for Christmas. What I love even more is the fact that my grandchildren cannot break these :)

  4. I do love your little house creations for their unique qualities, their awesome colors, and their cuteness. Keep them coming. LOL :)
