Mini Vertical Mailbox Tutorial with Brandie

Hi there! Today I am sharing another cute Valentine’s Day project. This little mailbox is a perfect size for a tiered tray or a small space that needs a little holiday decor. It can also be filled with treats to give to a special someone.

The file is the Mini Vertical Mailbox (SVGSilhouette). I cut everything out of 80lb cardstock. All of the score lines are mountain folds except for the front door.

I started with the bottom and glued the tabs to the longest piece while lining the bottom edge up with the score line on the tab. I then glued the sides of the mailbox to the bottom, again using the score lines and edge of the tab to line everything up.
This part can be a little tricky but go slow and really secure the sides before moving to the arches of the mailbox. I applied the glue to the front straight sides first and made sure they were secure.
As I moved along to the arches, I applied glue to a few of the small tabs at a time and made sure they were dry before moving around the arch. I glued each side separately. Then when the arches were dry, I applied glue to the three remaining tabs, lined them up then flipped the mailbox onto its back, and pressed the tabs down from the inside through the front door.
I then glued the pattern papers on the sides and front door and assembled the little envelope. I then glued the red trim strips of paper to the edges of the mailbox.  I glued the largest heart to the front door and added a floral sticker. I also glued the little envelope to the front of the mailbox.
Now, this little mailbox is ready to be displayed with my other holiday decor. Thanks for stopping by today friends!

Polar Bear Ski 5×7 Grid Pop-up Card

Hello everyone!

Marcia here today. I have a fun winter card to share with you today. I love to send box cards that can sit on a tabletop or counter and double as home decor. This 5×7 Grid Pop-up Card Polar Bear (SVGSilhouette) cut file can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of these new 5×7 Grid Pop-up cards. These winter cards pair well with the new Echo Park Paper The Magic Of Winter collection. I mixed in The Magic of Christmas and All About A Girl to get the colors I wanted.

Stop by the Lori Whitlock blog for a tutorial with instructions on how to assemble the 5×7 grid pop-up cards. Don’t worry about how you will mail it, because these awesome cards fold flat and fit in an A7 envelope!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by,

Adorable 4×6 Vertical Mini Album with Pockets and Tags

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the Lori Whitlock blog to share a mini-album I made using the Farmer’s Market collection that Lori designed for Echo Park Paper Co. I used the 4×6 Vertical Mini Album with Pockets & Tags (SVGSilhouette) to make the mini-album. The album was easy to put together and can be decorated with your favorite stickers and embellishments to make the project pop.

 
 
The project includes four pockets and tags as well as four rectangular pieces that can be used to frame your photos on the back of each pocket. You can easily include a picture on the front and back of each tag. I added an extra piece of cardstock to my tags for more color along with a few embellishments.
 

Until next time,

Michelle, aka the Bookish Designer
