A little winter cottage by Kerstin

Welcome!

The first Sunday in Advent is just around the corner and the time for Christmas preparations starts. 

  

Most important to me always is to have many lights around to make the dark season more enjoyable. 

But Christmas also has a lot to do with romance and cosiness. 

And what could be better than sitting in a small warm dreamy winter cottage and watching the snow fall softly to the ground.  

The children are romping in the snow and inside a fireplace crackles.

These were my thoughts behind this new project.

Calico Craft parts used:

 Tudor framed - MDF House Small Kit

 65mm tall x 85mm long x 60mm wide

Winter fir tree

Children on sled silhouette

Sheet of Mini Mdf Windows

Sheet of Mini Mdf Lamp Post Style 1 

Ivy leaf garland

useful tips & tricks:

 some details

 I have used a round roof window from the Sheet of Mini Mdf Windows

and added a little piece from the Ivy leaf garland

Behind the window there's a foil with snow effect

 Mini Mdf Lamp Post  

 I used only the upper part, coloured it with white acrylic paint 

and highlighted it with a silver glitter pen

additional decoration:

a little holly branch with red berries

some icicles (cutting die)

and very important - a lot of powder snow :-)

This project was so much fun to create and I just love the scene that you can build up

using this awesome House Kit! There is a lot of other Town and Country House Kits

 in the Calico Craft Parts Shop! Have a look and you will be amazed!

Thanks for your visit and I wish you a beautiful Advent season!
