Cricut Cutie Dollhouse Interior
For the interior, I used floral scrapbook paper as wallpaper. I love how colorful it is. The Cricut Cuties look like they are ready to play in this dollhouse.

Thank you for these cute houses. I have made some putz (I think that is the right word) houses in the past and got some great ideas from your website. The smaller ones are easier, I think, and that is what I am interested in. Great video and ideas.

Hello Lucy,
I have had the privilege of meeting you for the first time at the Cricut Craftfest. I have totally enjoyed your workshop and LOVE your houses. I love how this is your passion and thank you for crafting and sharing with us.
Keep up the great work.
Lucy
Thank you so much, Sylvie. I do appreciate it so much. You know people ask me how I keep making little houses. They wonder if I would run out ideas or get tired of making little houses, but that hasn't happened at all. I keep thinking of more and more things I want to make. So I do appreciate your kind comment. Have fun here.

Hi Lucy. Where can I find the SVG files for the Cricut Cutie house? I don't see it in the Paper Glitter Glue library. It's such a cute house. Thanks!
Lucy
Nicki,
I think I did that one as a file for an event. I keep meaning to write a tutorial for it.
Please email me - Lucy AT paperglitterglue.com and I will send it to you.
And I am so glad you like it.
Lucy
Actually all I have to do is add the files since there is a brief outline of the directions already there. Let me check the files and then I will upload them.
Thank you for asking.
