Altering the Size of the Candy Box File

Hello Everyone:
Anita here with a quick tutorial on taking one of Lori’s Candy Box SVGs and resizing them to fit the candy bar size that I need.  I used Candy Box 6 Candies (SVG, Silhouette).  I used Lori’s two Echo Park Paper collections including Our Little Princess and All About a Girl.
I wanted to make my own chocolate bars for Valentine’s Day given that there are food allergies in our family and wanted a pretty box to put them in.  I picked this box as it seemed like it would fit the candy bar mold that I have.  This file comes in two parts, Part 2 is for the box and part 1 is for the scalloped inserts.  I used Part 2.  When I imported my file into Silhouette Studio I used the grid lines on my mat on the screen to determine the size of the unaltered file.  I knew what size I needed to fit my candy bar and with the file still grouped together I dragged the corner until the dimensions were what I needed them to be.  Be sure that you don’t ungroup them before doing the resizing.  As you can see from the photo above I did a pretty good job of getting my box to fit my candy bar.

These are the cut file pieces for my box.  I opted to use the decorate overlay around the inner edge but you wouldn’t have to if you were short on time.  I often put an acrylic sheet over the opening when making boxes but decided that the chocolate bar looked better with the hole open.

These are the box pieces assembled and ready for my chocolate bar. That’s it for me.  Be sure to check out all of Lori’s Valentine’s Day files.

Hugs,

Anita

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 (SVG, Silhouette). 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!

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 (SVG, Silhouette) 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!
