Mini Wreath Place Setting Tutorial with Michelle

March 22, 2018March 21, 2018

With family so far away, our Easter Dinner is a quiet gathering where we use our everyday plates. This year, I (Michelle) decided to make dinner fun with some Mini Paper Wreaths.

Making the mini wreaths was fairly easy with my Silhouette Cameo, but I have a couple hints and tricks to make it really easy! I started with Lori’s Circle Monogram Frame (Silhouette Design Store or Lori Whitlock SVG Shop) to make the wreath. This is possibly my favorite SVG file. The wreath is actually 6 seperate pieces. Since I am making a small wreath, I’m going to release the compound path and make all of the leaves filled in, which is easier for me to cut.

Release Compound Path

I’m also going to cut a 5-inch circle to fit my plate. (Hint: When making a circle hold down the shift key and your circle will be perfect each time.) I recommend cutting three or four monogram wreaths to make your mini wreath nice and full.

Next, I cut some BRAND NEW Bunnies. This Easter Bunny Silhouette is absolutely darling! I love his little tail cut-out. He’s new in the shops and you can find him in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Design Store. I cut two 4-inches bunnies and glued them back to back, but one would’ve been enough. I wanted to add a cute sentiment, and I found exactly what I was looking for in the Bunny Dingbats Font. You can find this in the Silhouette Design Store and the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. You will find additional bunny silhouettes in the font. They would be cute too. With the bunnies so small, I had trouble getting the sentiment cut cleanly with paper, so I used vinyl instead. It came out perfect the first time!

Yes! Paper crafters can use vinyl too! I love how it came out.

I topped off my wreath with a cute paper bow found in the Silhouette Design Store or at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and my project was finished. This would be a great project to try new techniques such as releasing the compound path and using vinyl. if you would like even more information, I would encourage you to check out Lori’s class on Craftsy. With the class, Lori explains numerous techniques for getting the most out of your Silhouette Cameo.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed my Mini Wreath Tutorial. Happy Easter!

Bunny Window Treat Boxes with Kathy

March 19, 2018March 13, 2018

Hi Everyone! I can’t believe Easter is in 2 weeks! Since it’s so early this year, I had to get my act together much more quickly to make these fun little treat boxes for my college sophomore and her dorm-mates!

I used Lori’s Easter Window Box Bunny (SVG File, Silhouette File) and added a fun little pop-pom tail to the window! (The pom-poms were made with baker’s twine and a pom-pom maker).

I filled them with some chocolate eggs and sent them off to the girls! Head over to Lori’s shop for a great variety of Easter files! That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Hexagon Easter Bunny Box tutorial by Aimee

March 15, 2018March 14, 2018

Hi friends! Aimee here with you today to share a tutorial on how I made these adorable Hexagon Easter Bunny Boxes! This is one of the new cut files for Easter. You can find it on the Lori Whitlock site here or on the Silhouette Design Store here.

When you open this file up in the Silhouette program it is already color coded and shows you where most of the pieces go to get you started.

I separated all of my pieces and added 3 more sets of the inner ear piece cut so that I could fold them in half long ways (which I will show in a few minutes) and adhere them together to create a look of extra “fluff”.

So here is what it looks like after I cut out all of my pieces. I went ahead inked up the edges and let that dry before going to my next step.

I started assembling my box by adding glue to side piece first and then the bottom flaps. Do not put glue on the top tabs because your box opens and closes from the top flap.

Next comes the face. Start with the black piece for the eyes and adhere it to the underside of the flap with the eye holes lined up with the eye holes that are cut into the box.

Next I worked on the ears where I folded each inner ear piece in half long ways (4 pieces for each ear). Then glued them together and then to the outside ear piece.

Time to add the ears to the box…slip the bottom of each ear piece into the slots provided and glue to the underside of the top flap of the box. Then glue the white hexagon piece to the underside. This gives the ears more stability and the whites of the eyes.
