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!

 2. Apply adhesive to the panel, and adhere the vellum pieces to each panel.

3.  Attach the pumpkin and haunted house pieces together by lining up the notches.  You will first use this piece with notches on top and bottom.

4. Now install the top and bottom black circles.  Be sure to securely line them up with the notches in the pumpkin pieces.

5. Now install all the panels. Be sure to tuck in a tea light or fairly lights.

And now you have a great decor piece.  The house looks good from both sides, so it is a perfect table piece.

3D Lantern Bats Tutorial

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the 3D Lantern Bats (SVGSilhouette) file. This cute lantern has several versions and makes a cute decoration for Halloween. For one lantern you will need two sheets of cardstock. I also used a few scrap pieces of cardstock to make some fall leaves for embellishment.

Once all my pieces were cut, I folded all of the score lines as mountain folds. I then glued all of the D ring shapes together. The lantern body is one piece with one long tab, I added glue to the tab and lined up the opposite edge of the lantern body to the tab. After the glue was set, I flipped the lantern over and added a generous amount of glue to all the bottom tab and folded over the base and applied even pressure while the glue set.

For the base I flipped the base piece over so that the top is on the bottom. I then glued the two longest tabs together. I then added glue to the other long rectangular tabs and folded up the side to secure. Back to the first side I glued I applied glue to the side of the base and held in place. For the flap with the large hole, I only applied glue to the opposite tab. This is to create a sleeve for a battery tea light.

I then slid the square with the small tab through the sleeve to cover the large hole in the bottom. I then flipped the base over and add a generous amount of glue to the bottom of the lantern body and secured the base. I used the two small holes to line up the body to the base.

 
For the top small box for the lid the of the lantern I flipped it over and pushed all of the rectangle shaped tabs back into mountain folds (this helps keep them out of the way while I glue the box together). I added the D ring between the notches. I added glue to the square tabs and held in place while the glue set. I also glued the c shaped piece together by adding glue to just the tab.
Once the small box was dry and set, I pushed all the small tabs through the square in the roof of the lantern and added glue to the small tabs on the inside of the lantern roof. I then added glue to the tabs on the top of the lantern body and held the roof on with even pressure while the glue set.
After the lantern was dry, I cut some oak leaves (SVG, Silhouette) and inked the edges of the lantern. I used some chiffon ribbon for a bow and glued on the oak leaves.

I had a little ballon light to my lantern to get the bats to cast on the walls and shelf.

This would be a fun addition to a Halloween table or tiered tray display. Thats all for me today. Thanks again for being here.
