Easter Basket Boxes

Hello there! Today I am  moving on from Valentine’s Day and on to Easter. I am looking forward to bunnies and chicks!

For my projects today I played with the new Lori Whitlock Easter Basket Collection!

I cut several of Lori’s boxes and added all the fun Easter Basket elements. I spent an evening with my little Sidekick die cutter and die cut my self silly. When I am doing this, I put on a good movie and cut a bunch of pieces out of the different colors and just sort of mix and match away-always sure to have extra pieces because I tend to lose tiny pieces! I had fun adding the sticker elements to the finished boxes as a little extra special touch. Everything was just so fun! 

I die cut 3 baskets and lots of fun little eggs and flowers/leaves in all the different colors included in the new collection. I did cut out some grass from this file to use at the base of the boxes. I removed the scoring lines from the grass piece to cut one long strip and trimmed  pieces to fit each box at the base. As for the boxes themselves, I like to add a little extra matting to allow the patterned paper to pop a bit more. To do that, I open the offset panel and chose offset, distance of .050 and the square corner. In these projects I used white for the extra matting pieces.

***This tip will help you with these tiny dies.  I used washi tape to adhere the tiny dies on to my paper. I poked out the cut pieces but left the dies taped on to the paper. You can just put these on top of your next paper each time. Just keep the dies in place with the washi tape and store them that way as well. You won’t lose those tiny eyes or rosy cheeks that way!

Money Roll Gift Bag Tutorial

Hello there! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the Money Roll Gift Bag Birthday file (SVG, Silhouette). For this project I also used the Party Animal collection by Echo Park Paper Co. This little gift idea is perfect for a last-minute gift idea or that hard to shop loved one.

After cutting everything out, I inked the edges of my bag, box, cake, and candles. I glued the decorative panels in place, assembled the cake, and folded all the score lines into mountain folds. Since I used patterned paper for the cake, I couldn’t use the print and cut feature, so I added a few stickers from the collection for the sentiment.

 

Once the cake was assembled, I glued the back and attached it to the front of the bag. I folded down the bottom tabs and glued each layer to hold it in place. For the money roll box, I glued the smallest tabs and secured each side. The back of the box stays open and will fold shut once the money roll is tucked inside.

The file includes a print-and-cut tab to attach to the end of the money. I used low-tack washi tape to secure the tab and connect the money end to end. Starting from the end without the tab, I rolled up the bills, fed the tab through the slot in the money roll box, and then closed the box. The money roll box fits perfectly into the bag.

This money roll gift set is sure to be a hit with the recipient and will make gifting money exciting as the tab is pulled. Thanks for stopping by today, and happy crafting!

Valentine Cat Bag and A2 Card Gift Set

Hello Crafty Friends Noelene here today! With Valentine’s Day less than 2 weeks away today I want to share with you an adorable little bag & card gift set I made using one of the newest files from Lori Whitlock called Valentine Bag Cat (SVG), (Silhouette). I also created a matching card using an A2 card Base (SVG), (Silhouette)
To start off I cut out all the panel pieces for the bag. Make sure you cut 2 of each of all the panels that make the cat, (if you are making the card). I did not need to alter the size of the cat in any way as it fit nicely onto the a2 card base. Now start by putting all your pieces together for the cat by following the steps below.
Now it’s time to put the bag together. Glue all your bag panels onto the bag base.
Note the next step I did after glueing the panels, but it may be slightly easier to do before the panels are glued on, as the cardstock will be more flexible. Mountain fold the bottom flaps & valley fold the sides of the bag.
Next glue the side tab of the bag.
Glue the base then set your bag aside for the time being.
Now to create our matching A2 card. Firstly cut out all the panels. You will see that I have an extra rectangle piece of cardstock which is not in the file. I just cut out a rectangle 1.25″ x 4.25″ with the same paper I used on the side of my bag so that it coordinates with my card.
Glue the 2 front panels onto the card base.
Glue the extra rectangle piece onto the far right side of the inside of your card, so that when you close your card it will be visible from behind the pinking pattern.
Lastly to finish off place a cat onto the front of your bag & another onto the card front. I used foam squares to give it dimension. Then add the ribbon to your bag & any other embellishments you wish. Today I have kept it simple & only added a heart stickle.
