3D Pumpkin Box by Brigit

Hello everyone, I’m so happy fall is right around the corner, it’s my favorite season I just love making projects this time of year! Today I’m sharing the 3D Small Pumpkin box I made, it’s one of the items in the Kit of the Month for September at Lori’s shop, check the product description for details. You can pick up the Silhouette version of the file here.

The paper collection I used is called Celebrate Autumn by Echo Park, it’s designed by Lori, I absolutely love it! The orange cardstock and twine are from Doodlebug Design.

The stem comes with layer pieces but I wanted to show more of this burlap paper, it looks so real.

Sentiment sticker is also from the collection. There is also a 3D Large Pumpkin that matches this one, makes a nice set.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Birthday Gift Card Bag with Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a quick project that I made for my daughter’s birthday which is actually yesterday!  I needed a last minute gift card holder and Lori’s Birthday Gift Card bag was perfect (Silhouette, SVG),

 

 

I usually love cutting out all the elements of the cut files, but since I am running a little behind getting things ready for her Birthday, I saved myself some time by just cutting the bag.

To assemble the bag, just apply glue to the glue tabs and gently bend the edges into place.  Since this design has a curve, it helps to hold it in place until the glue sets completely.  Next, attached the handles with brads.

 

 

To embellish my cute little bag in a hurry, I turned to elements from Lori’s Happiness is Homemade Collection from Echo Park.  There are so many cute pieces in the collections to easily make a simple project beautiful when you are in a time crunch.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bless This Home Sign Tutorial with Cathy

Hi everyone!  I have a super simple tutorial to share with you…adding vinyl to create your own wooden sign.  It’s been quite a while since I have created with vinyl and I thought maybe that is so for some of you or this is an easy way to give it a try.  This was super simple and quick to do, and it turned out perfectly.  It will make the perfect gift or I just might keep it for myself.  Lol.

First, gather your supplies.  I use Orcal vinyl 651 in mattle black, a 10 x 10 white washed wooden canvas from Jillibean Soup, cricut transfer tape and some fabric flowers.  I chose fabric flowers over paper crafted flowers just so might sign would last longer and I wouldn’t have to worry about the flowers being fragile.

Then I picked a beautiful design from Lori, wreath bless this home, silhouette store or wreath bless this home in Lori’s Store.  I just love all of these different wreathes she has designed…simple and gorgeous.  I sized it down on my silhouette to be approximately 8 x 8 so that I could center it on my wooden canvas.

I then cut it out with my setting set on 2 for the blade and 8 for speed, it cut perfectly.  Next weed your design, I just use a little paper piercer to weed mine.  The paper piercer is sharp and small enough to get into the delicate pieces to weed.

Your next step is to layer your weeded design with transfer tape.  I cut mine to exactly the size of my weeded design, 8×8.  Peel back transfer tape and carefully adhere to your design.  Rub over it firmly, making sure your design adheres to the transfer tape.

Carefully place onto your wooden canvas and then burnish.  I used a plastic hotel key, like a credit card to burnish the vinyl.  It took me a bit to do as the wood was a bit rough and took a little extra effort to get the vinyl to adhere.  Once your design is adhered, slowly pull back the transfer tape.  Have your credit card handy to burnish some places a tad more if you see any of the vinyl not sticking.

Once my design was adhered, then I added the flowers, Echo Park Celebrate Autumn enamel dots, a little twine, a few buttons….but it still need more.  I then added some paper leaves that I cut with Lori’s  Thankful Leaves Die Set using the Celebrate Autumn Solids Paper Pack.

Loving how this turned out, I will be trying another one soon and maybe even try stenciling a design with one of Lori’s amazing files very soon!
