Box Card Large Valentine Centerpiece Tutorial

Hi! Teri here with a tutorial for the cute Box Card Large Valentine’s Centerpiece (Shop, Silhouette). This piece is simple to put together and turns out adorable.

First, I cut out all of my pieces even a few extra heart banner pieces. Since I’m putting this in a location where all sides will be seen, I wanted the banner to go all the way around the box. I also inked the hearts to give them more depth.

I ensured that all of my hearts would fit in the right spots.

Then I glued the main box portion together.

A little tip that I use for stringing baker’s twine is that I apply a small amount of wet glue to the end of the twine and then twist the twine applying the glue. Then let it dry for a few minutes and this will give you a makeshift needle so you can thread the twine through the small holes of the mini banners. I then glued the end of the twine into the corners of the main box portion.

Then I added the front and back insert pieces folding the glue tabs towards you so that you’ll get the same distance on both sides.

Then add the center insert piece.

All three insert pieces should be evenly spaced.

Thanks for stopping by!

Big Tea Towel Bundle Christmas Gifts

Happy Monday everyone! I needed some quick office gifts so I ran to the Dollar Tree for some pot holders and whisks and made these cute little pocket pot holders.
I used Lori’s Big Tea Towel Bundle (SVG) Sillhouette doesn’t have the bundle but the 2 that I used were Whip It (Sillhouette) and Cooking Smoke Alarm (Sillhouette).
I used some gold and silver iron-on material for the images. Don’t forget to mirror your images.

 

I plopped in a little whisk and some cookie mix for a cute little gift for my co-workers.

 

Happy Crafting and Merry Christmas!

Lighted Shadowbox Decor Santa Tutorial

 Hello friends, Marcia here. I am sharing a tutorial on the blog today for the new Holiday Lighted Shadowbox Decor pieces. You can purchase a bundle Here that includes a Turkey, Santa, Reindeer, Elf, Snowman, and a Nativity Scene. I made the Santa (SVG, Silhouette) and boy is he spectacular!

These are pretty easy to assemble. Let me show you how.

1. Cut out all the pieces from the desired pattern paper or cardstock. Be sure to scroll in Silhouette Studio to see all the pieces. There are 4 inserts, side panels, and a decorated front and back. We will assemble the side and back first Adhere your pattern paper panels to the cardstock back and sides.

2. Glue one side panel in place, adhering it to the tab with the four slits and then each tab working your way around to the other tab with four slits on the opposite side

3. Let’s assemble the front panel. We are going to start with Santa’s face. The white paper goes behind the black. That goes behind the flesh-colored face. Last, attach his eyebrows over each eye.

4. Adhere the black belt pieces on each side and the bottom of the beard. This allows you to fit the face piece in just so tucked under the mustache. Once the face is in there, go ahead and adhere the hat brim down along with the white pompom. Lastly, add the mustache.

5. We are ready to assemble the inside of the shadowbox. Take the back panel with the moon and start and slide the tabs through the slit in the back on each side. You want the hole in the back piece to be on the bottom.

 

6. Repeat with the other inserts.

7. Once the inserts are in place we can adhere the final side in place the same as the other side.

 

8. Adhere the front Santa panel to the front of the shadowbox. I did this a few tabs at a time. Then your Santa is ready for some lights or if you prefer you can leave it as is.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out all of Lori’s latest designs in her shop.

Hi everyone!  I chose one of Lori’s older files today for a gift for a friend who has a new grandson.  This Layered Mini Album or here In Silhouette Online Design Store, has always been one of my favorite mini’s.  It’s just simply fabulous and like it says, full of layers!  I hope you enjoy looking at all the pages. I had so much fun creating this darling little mini!  All the little flaps fold up to add photos underneath and tags pull out to add photos there also!
