There are still a few days before Father’s Day to make a card for your favorite dad. I used a mountain box card file for a Father’s Day card. I used some ink to make the background look like a sunset and I added a Happy Father’s Day sentiment. You could also use this card for any occasion for someone that loves the mountains.
You can find the A2 Tiered Box Card Bird Mountain File here in Lori’s SVG shop and here at Silhouette. The tiered mountains are really fun.
Have a great day!

Hi there friends! I’m dropping in today to share this cute new bee file with you today. (SVG, Silhouette) I made it as a sign to hang in my home but it would also be awesome on a t-shirt. I love the message and that bee is darling.
I cut the design from wood using my new Glowforge laser cutter and Silhouette Studio Software. I love that I can use Lori’s SVGs with my new machine! You could also create this using layers of chipboard or paper. I hope your week is great! Thanks for stopping by!

It’s time to start creating for the 4th of July…celebrate the country we love. Lori has this amazing bundle available, you can find it here. So many cute projects. You can also find them individually in her store or in the Silhouette Design Store. I played with the pinwheel design for this project.
As I said I am using the new Pinwheel (SVG, Silhouette) for my project. You will need some double sided papers or card stock, brads to secure your pinwheel and paper straws or dowels to attach the pinwheels.
This is how the file looks when you open it, ungroup it and cut the two pieces for your pinwheel. I was able to get both on one 12×12 with some trial and error.
Once your pinwheel is cut, layer the two pieces just as shown in the screenshot or the picture below. Have your brad handy.
Just start bring the tip of each point to the middle, lining up the tiny holes that your machine cut for you.
Keep going all the way around, one by one, lining them up…..
Once you have them all lined up, insert your brad. It takes a little patience to get all those little holes lined up. I’ve made so many pinwheels in my life time that I’m used to this step…so I didn’t think about this until after, but it may be easier for you to secure it with a paper piercer as you pick it up. That way each point will be secure and lined up, then just slide the brad in. So adorable! I cut three pinwheels, starting with the original size in the file, then sized it down 1.5 inches the next two times.
For the smallest pinwheel, I wanted to have it two colors, so I simply flipped one. You will have one going clockwise and one going counter clockwise. Notice the direction of both on the screenshot below.
Once I had all three cut and secured with a brad, I hot glued them onto paper straws and added to a mason jar. I love this, it’s fun and a unique centerpiece for my 4th of July holiday cookout. I can’t wait.
Thank you for joining us today! And don’t forget, all SVG files in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop are 30% off through Saturday when you use code JUN2021 at checkout!
