Mini Mailbox Tutorial with Michelle

Happy New Year! Now that we’ve said goodbye to 2018, it’s time for me, Michelle, to start my 2019 Valentine crafts. Today I would like to share a tutorial for one of Lori’s Mini Mailboxes. It’s a classic! You can find the SVG files at the Silhouette Design Store, or at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

Mini Paper Mailbox using I HEART Crafting by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park Paper

The file is adorable and so easy to put together. It would be great as a treat box or a fun place for children to leave little notes. It would be a fun snow day activity too. The possibilities are endless, so let’s get started!

Mini Mailbox Pieces cut from SVG Files

First, cut out your pieces. I used the Lori Whitlock I HEART CRAFTING line by Echo Park Paper. It’s not Valentine or Love themed paper, but the pinks and reds are perfect for both! Tip: It’s easier to glue down your embellishments while it is still flat. The paper will curve easier if you use a dry adhesive, like a tape runner or double sided tape for your embellishments. 

Photo Tutorial For Paper Mini Mailbox Assembly

Here are the steps to assemble the mailbox:

  1. Using a kitchen skewer or dowel rod, gentle train the paper to curve as shown.
  2. Fold all glue tabs inwards and apply adhesive. I used a quick dry liquid glue.
  3. Turn the box on its end and place your hand inside to push down against the table. This will give you a flat surface to push against and make sure that the glue tabs are all attached to the inside.
  4. Attach the mailbox flag to the base with a brad. Tip: Using a brad will allow the flag to move, but if you don’t have any, it will still be cute! Try gluing a button for another fun look!

The cute little postage stamps shown in the photo are also from Lori’s SVG files. You can find them at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or at the Silhouette Design Store. The other decorative elements I cut from some of Lori’s other various files.

The little pull tab at the top allows the mailbox to open easily. Especially for little fingers!

New in Shop… New Year’s Files!

I can’t believe that Christmas has come and gone!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day!  Now, it’s time to get ready to celebrate the New Year!  I’ve designed some new files for the New Year including two fun new cards!

The 4 Step Card Happy New Year is such a fun card with a great print and cut sentiment, and I’ve added additional numbers with the file so you can use it year after year!   I have a tutorial for assembling this type of card here.

The new Twist Pop Card 2019 is a great interactive card to send to a friend for the new year!  It also comes with all of the numbers so it can be used again!  It’s assembled in the same manner as the cards in this video.

I also have a great New Year’s Phrase Bundle this week!  It’s full of fun files, perfect for t-shirts, signs and banners!

All of these new files are 25% off this week in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!  Have a great day!

 

 

Christmas with my Gnomies Set by Anita

 

Anita here today to share an adorable gift set that I made for a dear friend who happens to love gnomes.  Lori Whitlock has several different cards which you can customize to make adorable cards and gifts.  This card is a box card ( you can find a tutorial here ) and the cut file is called 5X7 Box Card Gnome and you can find it here in Lori’s shop and here in the Silhouette store.  I used one of Lori’s wonderful new Echo Park collections called Celebrate Christmas.  The Notebook is from her Celebrate Christmas line also, and is called Lined Inserts.  My friend was thrilled to receive this gift.

Here is the card open and standing up.

Here is a close up of the notebook.

Lastly this is a photo of the card folded flat and ready for mailing.  That’s it for me today.  Happy Holidays everyone.

Hugs,

Anita
