Box Card Envelope Birthday Balloons

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing a card I made for a sweet boy who is celebrating his golden birthday very soon. I used the Box Card Envelope Birthday Balloons (SVG, Silhouette). I’m a sucker for a box card and this envelope version is so cute! This birthday boy will be celebrating in one of his favorite places, so I had to use the A Magical Place and Magical Voyage paper collections by Echo Park Paper Co.

I love how this card turned out. Thanks for dropping by today.

Fold Flat Tutor House Bundle Tutorial

 Hello Crafty Friends, Noelene here today to share my project using the Fold Flat Tudor House Bundle from Lori Whitlock (SVGSilhouette).
These little houses make an adorable addition to your decor & then can be folded flat for storage. They are so easy to put together.
I wanted my roof to have a pattern like a real roof. So I embossed it with a scalloped design embossing folder. To do this I firstly folded the roof panel along the perforated line then gave it a light spray of water to make the cardstock more bendable without tearing. Do not use too much water because it will fuse both sides together. Now put the roof panel aside.
Next I glued the timber frame panels to the front of my house bases.
Next I turned them over & glued the coloured window frame panels to the back side making sure to carefully align any windows or doors in place.
For my windows I have used vellum incase I wanted to add any fairy lights inside my houses. I glued the vellum on top of the window frame panel.
The next step was to glue the side flaps of the building to join your 2 building pieces together. You can now close the bottom flap to create a box. Do not glue the bottom flap. This way you can simply open it & fold your building flat for storage.
Next add glue to the roof base side that is joined to the building.
Now carefully adhere to the inside of the embossed roof piece making sure you centre it. The other side should be free & not glued down. Now fold the other side of the roof down & slide through the cut slots of the roof into the chimneys to secure it into place.
It should now look like this.
Now I wanted to go one step further & give my houses Christmas decorations. I made some embellishments using Sculpey clay & molds. You can use anything you like. Although by using raised embellishments I will need to be extra careful how I lay for storage. You can also create flat decorations using any dies or stickers in your stash.

Petal Fold Cookie Box Tutorial

Happy Thursday everyone!  I always try to have some cute little thing for my coworkers for the holidays and so I decided on these little cookie boxes. Today I’m going to show you how quick and easy they are to put together. First cut all your pieces. I used the Petal Fold Cookie Box file (SVG,Silhouette ).

Attach your patterned paper to the base.

Fold on all the scored line and add adhesive to these little tabs.

Once the tabs are glue in place, you will have a little box like this.

The file comes with a little “A Treat For You” tag but the I Love Fall Echo Park.Lori Whitlock paper I was using had this cute little tag that I had to use. I still added the green reinforcements to the hole.

Once complete, you fold the top in and add your tag with some ribon or bakers twine.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Hidden Binding Mini Album Apple or Pumpkin?

Happy Halloween! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a pumpkin shaped mini scrapbook that’s great for saving fall photos. I used one of Lori’s super fun cutting files called Hidden Binding Mini Album Apple (SVG, Silhouette). With some orange cardstock and pretty patterns, I turned it into an autumn themed pumpkin!

 

First, let’s take a look inside then I’ll explain how I made it with a tutorial below.

To create this, I cut the base out of solid cardstock and decorated it with the beautiful Echo Park, I Love Fall Collection designed by Lori. On the cover, I added a pretty 6×6 print (the small size is so cute!), a few enamel dots, an acorn brad, and the pumpkin farm sticker from the 12×12 elements sheet. 

 

The album has 5 pages (including the covers) and inside, I layered each one with a different pattern paper. Then, I added cute round photo mats using a 3″ scallop punch and a 2.5″ circle punch by Marvy Uchida.

 

I embellished the pages with stickers from the 12×12 sheet and the sticker book. For the smaller round photo mat on the right side, I used a 2″ scallop punch and a 1.75″ circle punch.

 

Above, I added a few more stickers, a brad, and on the right … I punched the round “thankful, grateful, blessed” circle out of one of the I Love Fall 4×6 journaling cards. I used the 2.5″ circle punch.

 

 

It’s such a pretty little album, right? Now let me show you how simple it is to make!

1. Cut the pieces out – I cut the binding pieces and 10 apple shapes out of apricot cardstock by Bazzill. Then, I cut 10 leaves out of the green I Love Fall paper and 10 stems out of the brown Fall Flowers pattern. 

2. Once those are cut, take the binding piece and fold it along the score lines.

 


3. You’ll end up with mountains and valleys like in the photo above. Add adhesive inside the valleys. 

 

 

4. Press the valley sides together to create the spine of the album.

 

 

5. Then, adhere the rectangular cover piece over the flat side of the folds.

 

6. Gather your page pieces and adhere the leaves and stems to the front of 5 left-side facing pumpkins and 5 right-side facing pumpkins. 

7. Now adhere the pumpkin pages to each of the accordion spine folds. Add one to the front and one to the back of each fold, matching the shapes back-to-back. This creates layered pages that are nice and sturdy.

 

8. Continue to adhere the rest of the pumpkin pages to each of the folds until the album is complete. Then it’s time to decorate!

 

 

When you’re finished, you’ll end up with a fabulous mini album that’s perfect for pictures of autumn, a pumpkin patch, fall leaves, and everyday memories. 

Lori has so many wonderful hidden binding mini album shapes. I’ve made the (haunted) house that’s perfect for Halloween, the flower, telephone, and the tag shape. I love these and they make the cutest gifts. She has even more designs in her shop, so be sure to check those out.

I hope you’ll try this fun project made with Lori’s Hidden Binding Mini Album Apple SVG file. Have a great day!
