In this blog post I will be making the little house in the centre of the top photo.

Step 7
Cut 2 squares of Silver Silk card measuring 6cm x 6cm and attach these to the roof panels with double sided tape.
Step 8
Snip off the two tabs at the top of the roof on the front panel. Die cut 2 grey "tile" pieces and glue one across the top of the roof on the back panel. Only add glue to the outer edges of the one for the front panel before gluing in place.
Step 9
Die cut another 4 grey tile panels and fold back along the top edge where the debossed line ends.
