It's tutorial time!!  Let's jump in, and get to it!  Oh, and by the way, this limited edition kit is available in my shop.

I started by painting the edges, corners, and roof of the house with gesso.  I also painted the windows, door, and heart.  White acrylic paint would work great (and is included in the kit).  I just grabbed what I had.

I picked the papers I wanted to use to cover the house with, made a mark with a pencil where I wanted to cut them down, and cut them in the paper trimmer.

I trimmed up the top corners of the front and back of the house.
I used Mod Podge to cover the house with paper.  You could also used gel medium or good old Scor-Tape for this.

After it dried, I painted the edges with more gesso (white acrylic paint would work great) to soften the line between the paper and the house.  I wiped off the excess with a paper towel , so you can still see the image.

I painted the roof with Folk Art Bayberry acrylic paint (included in the kit).  Can you tell it's one of my favorite colors by the ginormous bottle?!

I cut paper to fit the roof, tacked it in place with a small dot of tape, traced the chimney hole on the inside, removed the paper, and cut out the rectangle I just traced.

I used Scor-Tape (but you could Mod Podge or gel medium) to tape the paper for the roof in place.

I added Scor-Tape to the underside of the roof line to attach the pleated ribbon.

I did this all the way around the roof.

Then, onto the little parts and pieces.  I heat embossed them, first by inking them with white pigment ink.

Then, I sprinkled them with embossing powder, tapped off the excess, and heat set it with a heat gun.

Done!

I Scor-Taped transparency to the back of the windows.

I made curtains out of the scraps.

I Scor-Taped them to the transparency.  Then, I taped them to each side of the house.

I added the strip of lace to the middle of the roof with Scor-Tape (of course), and cut out the chimney.

I added lace all the way around the arch of the roof (each end), and sides of the bottom roof line.

                           
I attached pink rose ribbon to the top of the chimney.
I attached the chimney to the house with Glossy Accents.

I punched the scraps with a Fiskars Apron Lace punch (lace punched strips are included in the kit), and layered the in the arch of the roof on the house.  I added a flower vine at the top of the door…a little tutu for the dress form.

Voila!
