Reindeer Petal Box Tutorial with Brigit

Hello everyone, I have a Silhouette Studio tutorial to share with you today on how I created this reindeer box. To make this I combined the Bunny Petal Box and Christmas Tag Reindeer svg files from Lori’s shop. You can also get both of these files here and here from the Silhouette Design Store.

I started with the box, ungrouped and did a release compound path to get rid of the bunny face.

I grouped the box together again and rotated 45 degrees, added the tag and resized it to fit one of the box flaps.

I ungrouped the tag and separated the black layer and with the knife tool I cut off the antlers. I also cut off the ears from the brown and dark brown layer. (I always duplicate my piece first before I do any slicing just in case I mess up).

I duplicated the box and cut off one of the flaps with the handle and enlarged the deer’s muzzle from the tag placing it over the box flap and selected both and cropped.

For the ear, I selected both pieces and subtracted under modify menu, I wanted the bottom part as a layer instead of the top so I could weld the top piece to the box, you will see that below.

If you have little points left you can double-click on the piece and delete points.

Last I rotated the ears and welded them to the box as shown below. Now when I put the box together I just have to fold the ears out. I did make new solid score lines, I have the Silhouette Studio Business Edition and save my files as an svg so I can import them into Cricut Design Space and cut them out on my Cricut Maker.

It seems like a lot of steps but it really went together very quickly, makes a nice Christmas treat box!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

New Product Feature: Light Boxes

Hi Everyone!  Have you seen the new Light Boxes (SailboatCastleBird) in the shop this week?  These fun boxes measure 8″ x 6″.  They have clear acetate on the front and vellum on the back and look great set in front of a window or with a tea light behind them!  

 

The frame is nice and solid and stands well on it’s own!  I recommend using at least 80#-100# cardstock for these projects. I created an assembly tutorial to show you how to put them together on my YouTube Channel.  The new Light Boxes (Sailboat, Castle, Bird) are 25% off this week! I hope you enjoy working with these new files. Have a great day!

You Rock Shadow Box Card by Aimee

Hi friends! Aimee here with you today and I have a fabulous card for those loved ones in your family who like to rock out on the guitar! I made this card for my son who loves to play guitar, bass, and drums. I am so amazed at his musical talents and want him to know that I appreciate hearing his music!

This card is the Shadow Box Card You Rock Guitar found at the Lori Whitlock store HERE or at the Silhouette Store HERE.  A couple of things I did to jazz up this card is to use a lot of patterned paper and can you believe these papers are from the Lori Whitlock Baby Boy collection? The other thing I did was add some Nuvo Gold Glimmer Paste to the “you rock”. I masked off the side frame and smoothed it right over the top of the “you rock” & lines and let it dry before I adhered my card together. I love this card so much and hope you do too!

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you are having a day that rocks!!
