Heartfelt-Congratulations House Gift Box

Good morning!

How is this for a gift box?  I thought it would make a fun Home warming gift box.  

I had to put a car out front as well don't you know. 

The house is scored every 1/2" to look like siding.

The bottom and the chimney is embossed with a brick folder then sponged.

Cover chimney with brick embossed stock as well.   Make window frames using two smallest square dies from Spellbinders Square Nestibilities and add lace to window openings trimming to fit inside.  Make the door and frame using two rectangle dies from Spellbinders nesting rectangles, (I had to shorten both outside and inside by about 1/2" to make it the right size).  Make a set of stairs with white paper and Fun Foam. Cut the border trim X 4 and glue pieces to top of house box bottom then cut "trellis with Window Box Elements die and cut it in half.  Stamp, die cut and sponge color on the leaves and flowers.  Form flowers (some are closed).  Stamp, die cut and color car and banner. Die cut several layers of car from chip board to strengthen car and add acetate at the bottom folding it in two and gluing half under the "yard" part of the chip board base. Box Top: Paint roof gray and add darker gray dry brushed strokes for tiles.  Cover house surface with light green (to match) card stock.  Cut several pieces of 1/8" white linen for trim at bottom of box top, chimney top and for roof line. Cut and miter border trim for the dormers.  Add pearls to cover seams where needed.  Final steps: glue plants and trellis to house base, add Prills as flowers.  Add brad for door knob (I cut off the legs of the brad and used tacky glue to secure).
