Polar Bear Hot Cocoa Stand Holiday Card

Hello everyone!

Marcia here today. I have a holiday card to share with you today. No, it’s not too late to make and send holiday cards! New Year is a holiday so for me, it’s ok to send a card after Christmas. I love to send holiday cards to friends and family as well as receive them. I especially love a box card that can sit on a tabletop or counter and doubles as home decor. This Hexagon Pop-Up Card Hot Cocoa  Booth With Polar Bear (SVGSilhouette) cut file can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of holiday cards. I used the new Echo Park Paper The Magic Of Winter collection.

 
Stop by the Lori Whitlock YouTube tutorial for instructions on how to assemble the hexagon pop-up cards. Don’t worry about how you will mail it, because these awesome cards fold flat and fit in an A2 envelope!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by,

NEW! Money Roll Gifts for Christmas!

Do you need a last minute gift for someone on your list? Why not give the gift of money in the most adorable package ever? These money roll boxes and gift bags go together very quickly! We have an assembly tutorial that you can view HERE. This is seriously one of my kid’s favorite gifts I have ever given them. The 4 new money roll boxes/bags are on sale 25% off this week in the shop.

To make them, simply tape bills end to end and roll them up. Add the “Pull Here” tab to the last bill and put the roll inside the box with the little tab hanging out of the slit. Then, place the box filled with Christmas cash in the darling little bag that is included. The recipient will be delighted as they pull the tab to reveal a roll of money.
There are also several other money roll designs in the shop that I released previously. Be sure to check them out HERE. The patterned paper that you see on these projects is from my Magic of Christmas paper collection. I hope you enjoy making some money roll boxes/bags for your loved ones and friends this year. I promise it will be a hit!
Happy Holidays!
Lori

If you’re wondering what to give someone this Christmas I have an idea for you. One of my favorite things to give for Christmas is money in these Money Roll Gift Bags! It is so much fun to see the recipient’s face as they pull a string of bills from this adorable box.

I have 4 adorable new money roll designs for you this week. I also have some darling “winter themed” grid pop up cards. They are perfect for Christmas OR they would make wonderful thank you cards to send after the holidays because they feature “thank you” sentiments on the back.

And, New Year’s is just around the corner so I designed 4 new grid pop up cards with a New Year theme. If you’re wanting to make a New Year’s project these are super fun and so cute. Try cutting them out of glitter paper for some extra “bling.”

We also have cute new SVG files from Quietfire, Jillibean Soup, Pebbles, Dresden.

3D Christmas Tree Favor Box Tutorial

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the Lori Whitlock blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box (SVG, Silhouette). This adorable little Christmas tree is perfect for gifting and sure to make your recipient smile.

I used my SIlhouette Cameo 4 to cut the pieces for the 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box. I was able to use paper scraps for the majority of the project. In fact, I only used one piece of “new” paper for the entire project. I used a full-size 12×12 piece of cardstock to cut the pieces to make the tree boxes. Although the file showed the pieces in two different colors of green, I made them the same color. 

 

 

Once all of the pieces were cut, I inked the edges of the patterned paper I used for the tree using Distress Ink.  Next, I used my tape gun to adhere the patterned pieces to the top of the outside tree box as shown below.  (The outside tree box is the bigger of the two green pieces and has two triangles.) Once I had the patterned paper attached, I folded both tree box pieces along the score lines and added adhesive tape to the tabs. Next, I built the two tree boxes by folding along the score lines and attaching the tabs to close the boxes on three sides.

 

Next, I used double-sided adhesive tape to stack the three red circles to create the tree skirt base for the 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box. Then, I built the brown tree trunks using the same method as the tree boxes. Once I folded along the score lines and added adhesive, I put the two tree trunks together. The larger of the two serves as the base, so once I finished putting it together, I adhered it to the center of the red circles.
Before adding my decorations to the front of the tree, I used adhesive tape to attach the second, smaller brown box to the base of the inside tree box. Finally, I used the stars from the cut file along with enamel dots to decorate the front of the tree. If you don’t want to use enamel dots, you can always use the circles that come in the cut file instead.
 

Until next time,

Michelle, aka the Bookish Designer

Reminder: The 30% OFF sale is still going on this week in the SVG Shop. Code: DEC2022.

 

 

 

 

NEW! 5×7 Grid Pop Up Cards!

Have you seen the 13 new Christmas 5×7 Grid Pop Up Cards in the shop this week?  I love these cards because they assemble so easily. If you’re looking for a quick card to make, this is a great one! All you need to do is cut the SVG file out with your digital cutting machine (Silhouette, Cricut, Scan ‘n Cut, etc) and assemble. The only adhesive necessary for assembly is for the layered embellishments. I tried to keep the layered embellishments as simple as possible. The card base does not require any glue or tape. At the bottom of this post is a quick video showing how easy these are to assemble. And, this week you can buy them in the SVG SHOP30% off with coupon code: DEC2022
Please let me know if you’re interested in seeing more of this card style in other themes. I hope you enjoy these fun new files. I hope you’re all having a lovely holiday season!
