Valentine Birdhouse Tutorial

Hello Crafty Friends, today I want to share a Valentine themed Birdhouse I made using the Double Decker Birdhouse from the Lori Whitlock 5 Birdhouse Set (SVG).
The original file has one bird but I wanted to add another bird to make them look like love birds, so to start off with I copy & pasted the bird. Then I horizontally flipped the bird so that it was facing the original.
I did the same with the bird on the branch, then I used the knife tool to make 2 cuts to separate the bird from the branch. I then deleted the branch & used only the bird to cut.
After cutting all my pieces on my Silhouette Cameo & put together my birds onto the branch. You will need to trim the excess branch from the back panel of the extra bird we created before glueing him onto the main branch.
Next I took the larger part of the house which is the bottom & glued the side flaps together.
Once these were dry I proceeded to glue down the roof first by glueing down the bigger piece then following the smaller roof piece on top.
Next I took the smaller bird house & glued the side flaps together. Then I glued it down onto the bottom half of the birdhouse that we have already put together. Once this was dry I finished off by glueing the 3 roof panels starting from the largest on the bottom.
Lastly I embellished my Birdhouse with some die cuts, stickers & paper roses.
Isn’t it the sweetest!

Valentine Rainbow Box Card Tutorial

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial for one of the new Valentines box cards. You can find the bundle here. I made the 5×7 Box Card Valentine Rainbow (SVG, Silhouette). This card would be really easy to customize too. The sentiment is a print and cut and could be swapped out for a birthday, new baby, anniversary, or left off completely.

The papers and stickers come from the Valentines Day collection by Echo Park Paper Co. Once I had everything cut out, I inked the edges of the pieces for added depth. I also added some white highlights to my ballons with a white paint pen. I then glued the colored paper on the inside front card for the heart arch. Starting the with the largest arch I glued the rainbow down to the front of the box card body. This box card only has one insert. I glued the ballons first, then the banner, last the flowers. I didn’t cut the flower middles opting instead for some enamel dots.

I folded the tabs into valley folds and added the glue to the back of the right tab. The right tab is lined up with the inside score line of the box card body. I then added glue to the back of the left tab, folded the left side of the box card over on top of the glued tab, then added glue to the tab of the box card and folded the front of the card over.

I added a couple of stickers to the front of the box card from the collection.

This card is so pretty and a fun way to show someone you care. Yay love!

For my inspiration cards today I am showing you the lovely sympathy cards I have been making. These beautiful designs are perfect for sympathy cards or calm beautiful winter  designs. I live in the country and  have deer walking past my window almost every day. They are such graceful animals! 

The pop dot cards are fast and easy. I used the slim pop up dimensional strips to make these fast and easy. Add each layer either in to the corner of your Misti or Scrap Pal each time and the layers will line up perfectly.

I hope you enjoy these creations.

Envelope Slide Box Tutorial Cameo Pro MK2

Hello everyone! Tamara here today, to share this cute Envelope Slide Box.

I had so much fun creating the Envelope Slide Box by Lori! Originally designed as a Valentine’s Day project, I decided to transform it into a New Year’s themed creation. The box is perfectly sized to hold two chocolate bonbons – a sweet treat for any celebration!

Go to the files SVG or Silhouette

I crafted the first version using my Silhouette Cameo 5 and 12”x12” paper. But of course, I couldn’t resist trying it again with my brand-new Silhouette Cameo Pro MK2!

Look at the difference in Silhouette Studio!

And let me tell you, this design looks absolutely stunning in a larger size. And look at what you can put inside this bigger size box, a full pack of cookies and a handful of chocolate bonbons!

 

This file is super quick to make and can easily be adapted to suit any occasion. It’s definitely one of my favorites ( I keep saying this with every project I make)!

step 1, cut all the pieces.

Step 2, glue the box together.

step 3, glue the wrap together.

Step 4, start decorating.
 
 

Step 5, add the little note in the envelope.

With this project, I’m wrapping up my final blog post for 2024. Wishing you all a very happy and creative 2025! 🎉

Christmas K-Cup Carrier

Hello all!
Just a quick little project to share with you in case you need a little last minute gift for the coffee lover in your life.  Lori has quite a few choices for K-cup carriers and boxes in her shop, but this one is my fave.  It holds four K-cups and you can decorate it to any theme you desire.  It’s a fun way for the coffee lover to try different flavors as well.
I used a couple different Echo Park collections of Lori’s for this one.  It’s simple to assemble and is just the perfect little gift!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
