3D Easter Egg Tutorial

Hello crafty friends. Noelene here today, I want to share with you how I made these cute fun 3D Easter Eggs, using the following Lori Whitlock Files: 3D Easter Egg 2 (Silhouette, SVG), 3D Easter Egg 3 (Silhouette, SVG), 3D Easter Egg 4 (Silhouette, SVG), 3D Easter Egg 5 (Silhouette, SVG) & 3D Easter Egg 6 (Silhouette, SVG).

For my tutorial I am using 3D Easter Egg 4 (Silhouette, SVG).
I started out by opening my file in Silhouette & using the transform tool to enlarge all my panels to 135%. This gave me an egg with the dimensions approx 3.5″ wide x 5″ high.
Then I proceeded to cut the panels using coloured cardstock for the coloured panels & vellum for the grey panels.

I finely glued the vellum onto the back of eacg tulip patterned panel being careful not to put too much. Now let them dry.
Next I took the 3 egg shaped panels & insterted them into each other starting with the one with the 2 slits on top & bottom (far right on above image). Then I insterted the one with the slits on the outer edge (middle on above image) then lastly inserting the one with the slits on the inner edge, (far left on above image).

Then I inserted the big round shape onto the bottom slits.
Doing the same with the smaller round shape on top.
Lastly take the tulip panels & insert the wider part into the bottom of the egg shape & the narrower part into the top part of the egg.
Now do the same with the remainder of the panels & you are done. If you wish you can add some light using led tealight candles for a lantern effect.

I will be using mine in my Easter table setting.

If you want to make the lot like I plan to do, (because why not! They’re quick & simple to make! You can purchase these files individually or as a bundle here!

Easter Projects Tutorial

Hello there! 
 
My tutorial is very easy today but I wanted to show you the cute little candy baskets, bags and boxes I have been making for Easter. You still have plenty of time to make some of these fast and easy projects!
 
Basic directions on these projects is to cut your pieces and fold on the scored lines. Glue any little pieces to form faces etc and glue the project up joining at the flaps. These cut files are simple so you can make all of these, or pick one and make multiples. They are perfect to hold a bit of candy. The chick bag and the white Easter bunny basket with it’s fun little hair bow are also a good size to hold a gift card.

 Treat Bag Easter Chick (SVG, Silhouette)
The chick on this bag is adorable. Lori also made a bunny bag too . With so few pieces this is a  quick one to finish. Glue the black piece behind the chick head and add the rosy cheeks and the beak. I added some shading with distress inks before I put the pieces on. This bag would easily hold a nice size candy bar and is the largest of all the projects. Stands 5.5 inches tall.
*****
Easter Basket with Carrots (SVG, Silhouette)
 
Fold this one up, add glue to all side tabs and fold up to form the box. Burnish the glued tabs a bit so that they all stick well. Add your little carrot design on the front and tie up the top.

Easter Bunny Petal Basket (SVG)
 
I made this guy with kraft paper. I creased all the score lines and glued the black piece on the inside where the face cut out is. I added the nose with dimensionals before closing the box by bringing up the two top loops and then slip the sides with the slits over the top. I  glued on the ears about a quarter of an inch from each edge.

3D Easter Carrot Box (SVG, Silhouette)
 
Glue on the “greenery”(love the fun scallops) and then fold the carrot in half along the center score line and glue together with the side tab. All that’s left is to tie the top with some twine or ribbon. This project is just over 8 inches long including the carrot top greens.

Easter Bunny Tote (SVG, Silhouette)
 
For this file- glue the black piece on the back of the piece with the face so the eyes and whiskers show through. 

Glue the other white piece with the ears  to the back of the face section so it covers the black piece for a finished look. Glue the sections together then fold in half and glue together with the tab. Glue the bottom flaps One thing about Lori’s files- when you fold a file in half (like boxes ,bags, 3D cards) the two sections match perfectly. I love this-no struggle to force a file to fit together. Glue the bottom flaps.

 I added the handle on with two brads but you could easily just glue them on.
I hope you enjoyed these little projects-it’s just so hard to pick from all Lori’s fun Easter creations!

Box Card Spring Flower Pot Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a quick assembly tutorial for one of the new Flowerpot box cards. I used the Box Card Spring Flower Pot file (SVG, Silhouette). This file is so bright and cheerful. It has several print and cut sentiments so that it can be used for any occasion. I used the Happy Birthday sentiment, and the papers are from the Our Happy Place paper collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

The box part of this card comes in two separate sections with two decretive panels on each. These two sections are glued together side by side. It also has two rim pieces that will be glued on the front and back of the card. The rim pieces hang over the edge of the pot a little so be sure not to add glue all the way to the edge of the paper. I glued the pot all together forming the square before adding the inserts this time as well.

Before the inserts are added to the box card the flowers need to be assembled. All of the flowers have multiple layers for added dimension. The file does come with centers for the flowers, but I used enamel dots for mine. After all of the flowers are assembled I added them to the inserts. Inserts one and two are the only ones with flowers. The third insert is plain green.

The tabs on all of the inserts are folded into valley folds and glue added to the backs of the tabs. I held the tabs folded down and slid the insert into the box, made sure the top of the tabs was flush with the top of box and front of the tabs was flush with the front of the box. After I had the tabs lined up, I folded the box card flat in both directions to make sure everything would lay flat. I then added the remaining inserts the same way but using the insert in front as the guide.

With the inserts all in place I then glued the flower and sentiment to the front of the box.

I love how versatile this box card can be. I hope you give it a try. Thanks for stopping by today!

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!
