I do have a project to share with you today, a cute little outhouse (yep, that’s what I said) but first I want to tell you about my upcoming Stamp Camp. I’m very excited about it. You’ll have 8 hours with no kids, no pets, no job, no worries – just stamping and shopping with friends!

And now, todays project. I made a bunch of products for the OnStage display board using the new Wood Textures Suite. When I saw the crescent moon shaped die, I knew I had to make an outhouse. I mean, isn’t that the first thing that came to your mind? No? Just me? Well anyway, check it out. I thinks it’s cute as can be.

Here’s what I made:

Die cut using the Home Sweet Home Thinlits:

• 2 pieces of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the house die
• 1 piece of scrap card stock (CS) with the house die

Die cut using the Wood Crate Framelits:

• moon out of one DSP door

Created a template for the inside:

• cut the door off of the CS piece, then cut off the top half of the door
• traced around the bottom part of the door on another piece of scrap CS
• measured and used a ruler to draw the rest of the template: sides, top, and bottom
• cut another piece of the DSP with my Paper Snips, using the template
• cut the hole for the “seat” with the 3/4″ Circle Punch

Made the grass for around the outhouse:

• cut pieces of Old Olive CS to fit around the bottom of the house
• used Paper Snips to cut cut cut all the grass blades, being sure not to cut all the way through to the other edge
• crumpled the blades with my fingers

Made the toilet paper:

• I used a scrap of Whisper White CS (approximately 1/2″ x 8″)
• used a Smoky Slate Stampin’ Write Marker to draw tiny “perforations” along about 1-1/2″ or so of one end
• put a tiny bead of glue down the side without perforations, leaving about 3/4″ at the end without glue
• roll up with your fingers (you might find it helpful to wrap it around a wooden skewer to get it started) leaving the “perforated” end free

Assembled the outhouse:

• two DSP die cuts glued together to make the house, leaving open the side that has the moon
• insert folded into shape and glued inside the house
• toilet paper roll glued to the seat
• grass pieces glued to the sides of the house

Here’s what I used:
