Whimsical Art Houses - Easy Tags for Junk Journals (Scrap Busting)

[@mariaveronicastatuti962]

Oh, Natasha, this is sooooo lovely!! Could be fun and cute to let the door open with a 'secret' message behind it!! 😍

[@Poohtle]

What a great idea

[@patriciagechei8145]

These are adorable! You could even cut out faces from photos that didn't come out so well or even out of magazines to put in the windows. Could be personalized that way. Love this idea...the red topped mushroom house is like a little fairy garden house.

[@recoveringsoul755]

Ooohhh yes or a clear window with a scene inside, or the whole wall opens out to see inside the house. Maybe pages for the rooms in the house, decorated for Christmas or Halloween or Valentine's etc. Stop it, Brain!! Tiny homes, tents, RVs ok I'll stop now... yachts...

[@lorettatompkins6208]

@@recoveringsoul755 lol Natasha did say that you could just go on and on and on. So many great ideas.

[@donnadegale-kalloo5926]

That is a great idea especially is you are sending happy mail.

[@monicag9117]

I started 5 house tags while watching this video! And made 2 of them double sided! Love!

[@Sketchbook9999]

NOT joking but I started making houses few years ago and NOW watching your video confirmation from UNIVERSE I should make MORE houses as its part of an idea I had

[@Sketchbook9999]

It's TIME to have FUN

[@cyrenanorris5397]

The house that with the hearts for eyes looks like he's in love. Like he just saw the love of his life and his face went wonky, he's drooling, and he's got one eye twitching.

[@lindsaythirlwell5183]

I haven't done any crafting for myself in months. After watching this video I turned the TV off and went straight into my crafting room to make some of these totally cute houses. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh that makes me so happy! thank you :)

[@janadachingwa9234]

Very nice journaling cards and would make nice bookmarks. Walk in Peace.

[@ginah9338]

I am so happy to hear you don't use printables! I was getting so bummed because it was so expensive to print these pictures! Thank you so much!

[@janicechroman8305]

I also love your sense of humor. The short scream cracked me up. Lol just being you makes your videos so much more enjoyable to watch.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Janice

[@chrizzy0tanzt]

Lovely idea! Especially now that I have so much used wrapping paper from Christmas around. I could make Christmas themed houses and even make Christmas cards for next year out of them. 🥰

[@linaleblanc8288]

That's such a cute idea

[@debbiewoten9403]

Love this idea. I might make some to put on my book shelves next Christmas.

[@cindyhenry1410]

So it opens like a card? Brill idea!

[@cindyhenry1410]

Use old Christmas card material too!

[@lindsaythirlwell5183]

Oh I love this idea.

[@londongael]

Just made one, inspired by this video - such fun! I found it works well to cut out and stick on windows and doors from magazines, and add a scrap of lace for chimney smoke. Any shape (teapot, boot etc) becomes a house, if you add windows, a door and a roof. As you say, the possibilities are endless...

[@severineclamens4636]

Magnifique,j'aime beaucoup!

[@kayherstedt6618]

Great ideas!

[@elsieb3176]

I don't make journals but do make cards, so smaller houses will be fabulous focal points on my cards. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@marydray6171]

YOU’RE JUST SO CREATIVE. I JUST HAVE TO DO SOME OF THESE! NOT ONLY FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER BUT FOR ME TOO- I’M 62!🤣

This project makes my heart sing. Thanks beyond words for yet another amazing, simple, fun and creative project.

[@TreasureBooks]

I’m so glad, thank you!!

[@aptwalker2009]

These really are fun. I've dubbed your favorite for today as Larry Leisure Suit...it makes me think of the 60s/70s....all of them are great. Thanks so much for all of your inspiration.

[@recoveringsoul755]

Omg did you p!ay the Leisure Suit Larry computer game?

[@aptwalker2009]

@@recoveringsoul755 No, I wasn't aware of the game. I just recall the 'type' depicted, with a modicum of scorn, in pop culture and TV shows of the era. Now I'm going to have to look up info about the game though :)

[@recoveringsoul755]

@@aptwalker2009 oh dear, it was from the 80's. I only played the first one. Larry's goal is to find a woman to sleep with him. It had some pretty seedy situations. Not sure about the sequel's.

@@recoveringsoul755 LOL, okay, well maybe not my cup of tea in that case.

[@elizabethgarza4951]

Oh, Natasha! All it needs are pics of ur kids faces peeking thru the window!! That makes me so happy!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I think this is the cutest thing EVER! They are adorable! This is something the grand kids would love to make! I think it would be easy to make with scrap fabrics as well. You could just use some heat n bond to iron onto card stock and go to town! I love the possibilities! I’ve been playing around with the idea of doing a zoom meet up with my grand kids who are scattered from Ft. Worth to Florida and having a crafting session with all of them. Maybe mailing them a box of items to make a specific project and that way we could all be together crafting! I’m going to have to give this some more thought.

[@shannonfinn4316]

Love your idea and it's so cool to have a crafty zoom meetingvwith your grandkids. You are obviously a good grandma. Have fun. Ps...love the fabric idea. I'm a quilter so I have lots of scraps!

[@LynnBellyDanceManifestation]

I luv this idea! So cute! They’ll enjoy receiving your Craft Box. Let us know how did it go 🏡 🏠

[@kayherstedt6618]

A good quality glue would probably work well for the fabrics. Great idea since I have lots of that. 😊

[@AngelroseDesings]

Love Thanks for sharing. Happy crafting on a budget 💲. Happy everything on a budget💲. See👁 you in the next 🎥 and on the flipside. 👼🌹

[@cseedbead8180]

A lough a minute... Whimsical, be u habitual and be merry.. Thank you for this gift. I will be using my scraps up also. Bless you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😊

[@suerabe5708]

The first thought was this could be very fun to do with children as a craft day project.

[@thecalicoheart7946]

I really like these. 😍 I subscribe to a few JJ channels, but yours is the only one where I actually make the projects. I had a truly fun, blissful time making your paper ruffle ribbon (couldn’t stop and now I have several rolls that, honestly, I just like to look at). I have made your paper buttons, your book page bows and a few others of your ideas. Because I find your ideas just soooooo appealing and they are always fun to make. Crafting is my therapy. I don’t even care how it looks in the end really - I mean, I am not trying to ‘get it right’ or be perfect or anything like that. It’s the peaceful place in my mind that it takes me to that is the priority. You say things like “don’t over think things”, “because why not?” and “just have fun” and you are so right. It is so helpful to hear you say things like that! 😳🤪 Thank you for all you share Natasa. Honestly, you are a joy. 😊🙏💝💐💕

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😊 That makes me so happy!

[@kimberlysiddons]

When you say it looks like a face, that reminds me of the old Disney cartoon called the little house. All the buildings and houses in the cartoon had different faces and moods. I love this idea; it is a great craft for kiddos.

[@juliekeil8791]

Love your houses, Natasa! The chimney smoke detail is brilliant. 💖

[@rhondahunt9888]

The mushroomy one is my favorite, especially with the crazy stitching, the added hearts, circles and doodles! It is one i doubted the most at the beginning.

[@susanmary4752]

I've been fussing with trying to make houses with leftover scrap paper and here's your tutorial that's just perfect!! Thank you for your creative mind!!!

So much for getting any chores done today! I must make tons of these!!! Thank you for so much inspiration. Congrats on 100k subs!!! ✌🧚‍♀️ AND I adore the mushroom one that you're uncertain about, it's favorite!

The mushroom ones are my fav too!

[@tweetyk474]

i love the mushroom also. it is so darling and these are exciting. nothing gettin done but these cut houses, make a neighborhood......😂 😍

[@Lisa-rqt]

This is so awesome. I've seen tiny houses with paper clips but I've made "ordinary' houses. I can't stop overthinking. I know this is a year old but you are still helping us newbies. Awesome video. THANK YOU. Now I need to get out of my head LOL

[@Nancy0162]

What a cute idea!!! So many possibilities!! You can even make the roof flip up or down for more writing space or hidden messages or make the doors or windows flip open for hidden messages or pictures and tuck spots. LOVE these!!!! Tfs and have a wonderful day!!! 💗😊

[@katherinelarini8514]

cute idea; you could even have little people behind the doors and windows...

Natasha: this is a cute idea, not only for a journaling card, but for a book-marker. Great party favors and place cards. Love them! Carol from California

[@kayherstedt6618]

I love little houses! I saw your video about making things for a journal and had to check out this one. I think I'll start a sketchbook to fill with houses but will be hard for me to do wonky ones. Great idea to allow just 15 minutes for a quick project. Thank you!

[@judyjudy3058]

The houses are precious! Just when I think I can’t see anything cuter.. love your videos as always.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😊

[@peggyharwell3674]

I'm just now viewing this, 2 yrs after you created them. I have to say, "How Cute!". You are certainly creative. I have a lot of paper scraps to work (play) with. So i guess I need to get busy. Oh wait, its 930pm, maybe I'll begin the whimsical journey in the am. Thank you Natasha for your brilliant mind.

Awesome project, not only for getting rid of all the Christmas scrap paper I have but also something fun for the grandkids!!! Two birds, one stone, lol! Thanks Natasha!!

Those mushroom houses are so cute.

[@deborahburcham7630]

What a great way to use leftovers and to add some more fun to tag-making when we get tired of making standard tags. And at Xmas you can make tons of awesome ones with Xmas paper that would look great hanging on the tree!

Yes, I also thought about smaller Christmasy houses for the tree - a perfect project to do with my 4 granddaughters ☺️. Love how this project has sparked so much creativity!

Natasha, these are all fabulous!👍👍 They're so adorable, and it might be super fun to have them throughout in a fairy-themed journal.
