Here is my "Home for the Holidays" house shaped Christmas ATC.  I cut out the house template and traced the template onto both of the 3" x 4" pieces included in the kit.  You can pick which side you would like for the inside or the outside of your house.  I chose the holly side for my outside.  Before gluing them together, I cut and scored the door so it would open to show the red and white side of the plaid paper through the door.  I also cut and glued the roof out of the 1 1/2" x 4" piece of candy cane stripe paper.  I also added some glue and glitter to the green foam tree so it looked decorated and then glued the red sequin star on top before gluing it to the house.  I shaped the mini holly garland piece into a circle, and tied the red waxed linen into a tiny bow for my wreath.  Please feel free to send me a photo your completed Christmas ATC house.  Please send photo to yourATCstore@comcast.net
