VIDEO | Let's Build a House using Yana's Everyday City Holiday Collection!

Hello there, today I have a card and video to share using Yana's Everyday City Holiday Collection from Spellbinders. This collection coordinates with the City Holiday Etched Dies that were released for Christmas and the holidays. Now you can make your apartment buildings/houses/shops etc. into everyday and not just holiday related. I am combining a few new sets today along with the original one. 

I also have a discount code for Spellbinders at the end of the post, so if you are a fan of their products, don't miss it! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off my house/apartment building by die cutting the main apartment building die, as well as the bricks, from the Spellbinders City Holiday Etched Dies from Spellbinders Seaside ColorWheel Cardstock. I cut the roof, door frame, steps and large window frame from Spellbinders Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock and the cat from Spellbinders Raven ColorWheel Cardstock. 

The door itself was cut from Spellbinders Waterfall ColourWheel Cardstock and the inside of the large window cut from Spellbinders Fog ColorWheel Cardstock. 

The window frames, window sills and flower boxes, from the Spellbinders Everyday Windows, Curtains and Flower Boxes Etched Dies, were also cut from Spellbinders Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock. The base layer of the windows were cut from Spellbinders Fog ColorWheel Cardstock and the curtains cut from Spellbinders Waterfall (for the straight curtains) and Teal Topaz (for the ones with tie backs) ColorWheel Cardstock. 

The foliage was cut from Spellbinders Peridot ColorWheel Cardstock and the roses from Spellbinders Chiffon ColorWheel Cardstock. 

The awnings, from the Spellbinders Everyday Awnings Etched Dies, were cut from Spellbinders Blue Spruce and Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock. 

I adhered the bricks onto the building first, using Bearly Art Glue, cutting off the excess overhanging the sides using scissors. I then assembled the windows. I adhered the curtains to the back of the window frames first and then adhered the frame to the base layer using thin foam squares. The window sills were then adhered on top. I adhered the windows (and the door) to the building using Bearly Art Glue. 

I adhered the awnings together first and then adhered them to the windows. The small ones were adhered using Bearly Art Glue and the large one with thin foam squares. I adhered the foliage and roses to the flower boxes and then adhered them to the windows using Bearly Art Glue. The cat was adhered to the door step using thin black foam squares. 

I adhered the building to a white US A2 sized card base (adhering two other layers behind for dimension). I then adhered the roof on top with thin foam tape (where it overlaps the card base). I hot foiled the sentiment from Spellbinders Welcome Home Sentiments Press + Foil Plate & Die Set onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Opaque Black Foil. It was die cut out and adhered to the card. To finish, I added a Spellbinders Onyx Color Essentials Gem to the door for the handle.
