Baby Shoe Cut File Tutorial

Looking for a really cute Baby Shower Favor?  How about this adorable little Baby Shoe (SVG, Silhouette).    

This little shoe is easy to assemble and can be made in any color to match your shower theme! 
Start out by cutting the pieces.  You have 2 bottom pieces (each the same size) and the top of the shoe.

On the “wrong” side of one of the bottom pieces, I measured up about one inch from the heel and drew a line. (the bottom pieces both have a wider end which is the top of the shoe, and a narrower end which is the heel.)  You don’t need to do this part, I just found it easier to place where to start gluing on the shoe top.

Starting at the 1″ mark, glue the top of the shoe to the bottom piece going in the direction of the top of the shoe.

Continue all the way around the shoe, making sure there are no gaps.   When  you  are  done, there will be an overlap of one tab.

Add a little adhesive in the overlap of the top piece and secure.

Add the second bottom piece to the bottom of the shoe to cover the tabs.

All that is left is to glue the shoe strap  down and decorate!  I added a button to the strap and a little bow to the shoe top.  Now to fill it with a sweet treat!

This tutorial will also help with the assembly of the Explosion Box Baby Shoes File (SVG, Silhouette).  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Camping Box Card Cut File

Hello crafty friends! Michelle here with you today to share one of the new Lori Whitlock Box Cards. This was so much fun to make!

The Camping Box Card is my new favorite guy card. I love the details! It folds flat and fits in a standard A7 envelope. Isn’t that cool? I changed the sentiment because I’m sending it to someone who has been in poor health lately. I know that he’ll like it as much as I do!

You can find the files for this card at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or at the Silhouette Design Store. Either way, be sure to check out her other new files too. They are all pretty amazing!

Have a great week!

Graduation Hat Jar Toppers with Anita

Hi Everyone:

Anita here to share with you a fun tutorial to make this Graduation Hat Wide Mouth Topper.  You can find this awesome cut file here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette store.  The Mason jars are by Ball and are 24 oz.  The opening is 3.5 inches in diameter.  Lori also has a cut file for a smaller Mason jar.

Here are the pieces that you will be cutting.  I edited the square shaped hat topper and transformed it into a hexagon to look like the PhD graduation cap that my best friend’s daughter wore at her recent graduation.

Here is a close up of the jars for you to see what they look like.

First you want to take the long, tabbed strip and fold the tabs along the score lines.  Glue the ends of the strip together to be in the shape of a circle.

Take the first circle and insert it inside the ring, gluing it to the folded tabs.  This helps keep the circle in shape.  Next, turn the ring over and glue the second circle over the tabs to hide them.

I made a tassel out of some twine in the school colors and threaded it through the hole in the larger of the two mortar board pieces.  I taped the end underneath and trimmed it so that you couldn’t see it.

Next, I glued the second, smaller mortar board piece over the twine tassel end and glued the circle base to the top centering it.

Here is another photo which might be a bit easier to see the parts.  These lovely toppers easily slip on and off the jar, making it easier to access the treats!

That’s it for me.  Thanks for looking and be sure to check out Lori’s store for all your spring and early summer celebration needs.

Hugs,

Anita
