Patriotic Bird House Tutorial

Have you seen the new Patriotic Birdhouses in Lori’s SVG shop and in her Silhouette Store Gallery?

 

Today I’m featuring the 3D Birdhouse with Stand Patriotic File (SVG,Silhouette)  I put together a quick tutorial for you.

1. First, cut out all the pieces of the Birdhouse:

2. Next, glue all the roof layers starting with the biggest piece and stacking and adhering each smaller piece on top of it.

3. Adhere the star to the birdhouse door.

4. Fold the tabs on the body of the birdhouse, and fold to form and glue.  All tabs are folded in the same direction.

4. Glue the bird pieces together.  Black piece is the back, the light piece in the middle, and the blue piece on top with the wing.

5. Fold the base pieces and glue the tabs together.  These form a little box that will hold the post.

6. Fold and adhere the post.

7. Use glue or glue dot to attach the bird to the front of the birdhouse.  Stick the post into the base and glue. And stick the birdhouse onto the post and glue.

It is such a fun birdhouse to add to your décor for the summer!

Have a great day!

Tropical Suitcase Box Card

Hi guys, Traci here! Today, I’m sharing a great summer card that has me dreamin’ about the sun, sand and tropical vibes. It’s made with one of Lori’s awesome cutting files called Box Card Tropical Suitcase (SVG, Silhouette) and the flamingo, hibiscus and palm tree are perfect for this time of year.

Pop-up Card with Flamingo, Palm Tree, Hibiscus Flower

I love all the details on this card … especially on the little blue suitcase. Check out the handle and those tiny corner pieces with the enamel dots. So cute! This card would be perfect for a summer themed party, a birthday, someone who loves flamingos or traveling, or simply telling someone you’re thinkin’ of them!

Pop-up Card with Flamingo, Palm Tree, Hibiscus Flower

It looks great sitting on a desk or a counter for a little summertime décor and it folds flat for mailing and storage. I made this with cardstock from my stash and Echo Park’s Endless Summer collection designed by Lori.

Lori has so many amazing cards … I hope you’ll try this one next. Happy crafting!

4th of July Treat Boxes

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today and I have a couple of adorable 4th of July treat boxes to share. When it comes to Lori’s cut files, my favorite thing to do is pair cut files . Today’s example is the Ribbon Tie Favor Box Scalloped (SVG, Silhouette) paired with the heart from the A2 4th of July Card (SVG, Silhouette). I love the heart from the card file but didn’t really want a card. I wanted to make some treat boxes for the kids when we go to our neighbor’s 4th of July party so I took the heart and sized it down to fit the side panel of the box. The boxes by themselves are cute but I love how they turned out with the hearts on them!

I also want to point out that all of the papers I used are from the Fun on The Farm collection. The red, white, and blue papers jumped out at me the first time looking through the collection and I knew I had to make my 4th of July projects with it!

Thanks for stopping by today!
