I think I will do this for Christmas this year. I have tons of cards of all sorts and this would look wonderful as a bird house hanging off one of my snowman gourds don't ya think? LOL
Just wanted to share. Enjoy

The little houses are so cute! And hanging from one of your snowman gourds would be adorable!

I love those little houses and have had this site bookmarked for quite sometime as " something I am going to make "" I think they are so cute and with all the pretty cards that most of us probably save, we could make some really neat ones. Maybe everyone who makes some will post photos on here. TFS

Those are really cute and if you would like to try one out and see how they look in someone's house - mine is available!! I may save the directions and attempt one, but they look like a lot of work and I'm sure they are worth it.

these are adorable... I think they would be really cute to put money inside for those that you are giving money to for Christmas.. just put repositional tape for opening.. and they get an ornament to keep and money to spend . I would love to make a bunch, thanks

Here's one that's different from the usual.

I do have some saved directions for Christmas card houses that may be less difficult if anyone is interested.

I've posted two in photobucket but, of course, the others are in pdf or word documents. If you'd like to send me a private message with your email I'll be glad to send. a few years ago I was gathering ideas for using Christmas cards and made the mistake of sharing my thoughts with my friend. Her church was thrilled to have a place to give the used cards and I ended up with pounds and pounds and pounds of cards (some duplicates which would have been handy). Unfortunately, I got sick of the boxes and boxes so I sent to my sister for Sunday School use.....wish I had them back.
