Welcome To The Farm Mini Album

Hi everyone!  I’m so excited to share this little mini album created from Lori’s Pop Up Barn Card (SVG, Silhouette). I had so much fun creating this and added so many fun details!  I used Lori’s Echo Park Fun on the Farm collection for my project!

I started by opening the file and ungrouping it, saving the barn shape, the white doors and window.  I enlarged the card to be 4.5 x 6 inches.  You will need to cut 4 red barn pieces and two sets of the white doors and window.  One is your front cover, one is the inside of the front cover, one the back cover and the other will be for your stitching template and book ring template!

On of your template barn shape, you will do an internal offset and then go to line style, change it to the biggest stitched line.

Then using a Silhouette Sketch pen, I used black so that I could see it well, send it back through to draw the stitched lines.  This will create your template for stitching.  You can use the stipple on your machine too to create stitching holes but my cardstock was to heavy to really see the stippled holes….my eyes are getting old! Lol.  So this is what worked best for me.

I just pierced the lines on the sides of the barn so that I could add a bit of chain stitching to accent the cover. Place the barn piece with the stitched lines over another barn shape and pierce your holes.   I recently attended an event with the amazing and beautiful Paige Taylor Evans and she taught us to chain stitch.  I am head over heels in love with the stitch and technique.  I added the chain stitching to the little “Welcome to the Farm” tag too.  I just pierced the holes evenly around the circle!

After I was done stitching, I adhered one of the barn pieces to the back for the front cover, so it has a nice finished look to the inside, and that way you can’t see the back of the stitching.   Next, it was time to punch my book ring holes.  Again, place the barn piece with the silhouette sketch pen lines over all your pages, one by one, and punch your holes.  I punched in 1/2 inch for my two book rings. I have seven pages in my book, but you can make more or less.  I just had that many photos of my grand daughter’s visit to a farm.

I love how this turned out.  Eeeeeek!  It’s so cute and the Fun on the Farm collection is just adorable and so much fun!

I added lots of fun with ribbon, beads, a fun tassel, sunflower charm and even a cute little chicken bead up on top there!

I’ll just share a few of my pages here and I’ll share the rest on my blog.

Gingerbread Man Christmas Present Box Card Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. Since it is July and Lori just came out with some new Christmas box cards, I thought I would get a jump on making my Christmas cards. Do you start making Christmas projects in July? My mother-in-law loves gingerbread, so I thought the Gingerbread Man Christmas Present Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) would be perfect for her. There are similar new Christmas Present Box Cards with Santa, Reindeer, Snowman, etc…

Let me show you how easy these box cards are to make.

Step 1.  Decide on cardstock colors and/or pattern papers and cut out all pieces. I like to match the base cardstock as close as possible to the pattern paper I am using. The cut file comes with a tag and three different sentiments. You can use the print and cut feature of your machine to create the tag. Otherwise, a stamped sentiment works well too. Before assembling, I ink the edges of my papers to give the shapes dimension. Here I have the pieces roughly arranged in layers.

Step 2.  Adhere the Flower together, the Mug, and the Gingerbread Man. To get the eyes and mouth just perfect, save the negative piece and use it as a guide. You’ll never again have eyes too wide apart or a crooked smile ever again! Adhere the ribbon and bow paper pieces onto the card base.

Step 3.  Cut a piece of twine and attach to the tag. Using a sharp pick, poke holes in the bow using the dots as a guide. Thread the ends of the twine through so you can tie it off in a knot in the back of the bow. I secured the tag in place with foam tape. (Optionally, you could thread the twine through before adhering the bow front the the bow back.) Glue the side tab to the opposite side to form the card base. Using foam tape, add the flower to the front.

Step 4. Adhere the inserts into the card base placing the mug in front of the gingerbread man.

These cards do fold flat for mailing in a 5×7 envelope. Lori has lots of Christmas card ideas in her shop. Go check them all out and have some fun making your own cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
