Mason Jar Box

May 29, 2025June 30, 2025

Hello! I love when my 2 worlds collide, canning and scrapbooking. I recently canned some green stuff (jalapeno mustard for pretzels) and I always love to be able to gift it and make it look cute. I recently came across these Mason Jar Box Half Pint (SVG, Silhouette). I decided to make a few of these for my yummy green stuff.

Mason Jar Box Half Pint

First I cut all my pieces and I did add a little piece of acetate behind the window.

I added my pattern paper to the box after I added the acetate to the inside of the window. I added score tape to the 2 flaps to assemble the box.

To assemble the bottom, i folded in 1 of the large flaps and added score tape to the large flap and the inside of the 2 smaller flaps.

I folded in the 2nd large flap 1st.

The I folded in my 2 smaller flaps to make the box complete.

I then added my pattern paper to the lid portion. Make sure the curved side of the thin strips faces the outside edge. I also added score tape to the corner flaps.

I folded in the corner flaps and adhered them to the inside of the long flaps to make the lid.

I added my jar of green stuff (this one is from 2023 because the new stuff is in the wide mouth jars. If you use wide mouth jars, there is a file for that too. Wide Mouth Pine Jar Box.

I tied a ribbon around the box.

And finally added a little tag with instructions on how much cream cheese to mix with the green stuff.

Hopefully you will be able to gift some home made goods with this cute box. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

Box Card Flower Trunk Tutorial

May 15, 2025June 30, 2025

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Box Card Flower Trunk (SVG, Silhouette). I used papers from the Day and Life collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also cut a few extra flowers to add to my card to give it a fuller look.

The body of the box card is in two parts that will be glued together. The tabs are all folded in a valley fold. First, I inked the edges of all of my pieces then glued the decorative panels to the outside of my trunk. I then assembled the flowers. All of the flowers have two layers. I then glued the flowers to the two inserts. Three of the flowers are on the front insert and two flowers on the back insert.

For the trunk I added glue to both tabs and made sure to line up the holes on both pieces so that the brads would be fit. I then glued the decorative corner pieces to the trunk and added the brads to all of the holes. Enamel dots would also be cute on the holes if you can’t find brads. After I had all the brads in place I glued the back decorative panel into the trunk.

Next, I folded the tabs on the inserts in a valley fold and added glue to the back of the tabs. Securing one tab at a time I lined up the edge of the tab with the top of the trunk and held it in place while the glue set. I was also careful to not glue the tab over the back of the brad. I repeat the process for the other side of the insert. With both tabs glued I fold the card flat to check that it will fold flat then repeat the process for the second insert.

With both inserts secure I glued the last flower and stem to the front of the trunk. I then embellished my trunk with the additional flowers and two butterflies I fussy cut from the collection.

This card is so pretty and has several sentiments for the back of the card that are included in the file.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Suitcase Mini Album Tutorial

May 1, 2025May 8, 2025

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a cute travel mini album that I made using Lori’s NEW cutting file titled Hidden Binding Mini Album Suitcase. (Silhouette) The fun shape is so versatile and can be made with any paper collection for your vacation needs. Since summer is ahead, I created it with a sunny beach theme.🌞

Suitcase Shaped Travel Mini Scrapook Album for vacation photos

Lori has designed a bunch of these hidden binding shaped albums and I love them! I’ve made the rectangle, apple, house, flower, telephone, and tag shape. Today’s mini is about travel, so the suitcase shape is perfect!

Suitcase Shaped Travel Scrapbook Mini Album with a summer beach theme

For this “fun in the sun” project, I used the Doodlebug Design Seaside Summer Collection. But it would also be great for winter skiing, a visit to the lake, a cabin in the mountains, a road trip, a cruise, or any vacation.

Let’s take a quick look inside, then I’ll explain how I made it.

Suitcase Shaped Travel Scrapbook Mini Album Pages with cute summer and beach images

I decorated each page with 6×6 inch papers, fun die cuts, cute stickers, and a few enamel dots.

Isn’t this cute? Such a colorful little scrapbook. For larger photos and details of each page, visit my blog here.

Now, for the tutorial …

Suitcase Shaped Summer Travel Scrapbook Mini Album Tutorial

1. First, I cut out the pieces. Since all of the suitcase shape pages are sandwiched using 2 pieces, I needed 10 total … 2 for the front cover, 2 for the back cover, and 6 for the 3 scrapbook pages inside.

2. Note that the center piece is scored for the binding. The score
lines are a bit hard to see on the brown image 😊. I folded along each
of the score lines to create “mountains” and “valleys”.

3. Then, I added adhesive inside the “valleys” and stuck the sides together.

4. Once the binding piece is adhered, it should look like this ^.

5. And the back side (the spine) will look like this ^.

6. Next, the cutting file comes
with pieces for the pattern paper that goes on top of the white spine, front and back covers, and suitcase shaped pages. I chose the blue waves print and adhered it to one side only of the exterior pieces.

7. Once that was done, I adhered the front cover to the front of the first
spine fold. Then, the back cover to the back of the last spine fold. When it’s opened up flat, the
album covers and spine should look like this ^ on the outside.

… and like this ^ on the inside.

8. Next, I adhered pattern paper to ONE SIDE ONLY of the 8 remaining
suitcase shapes. Since these will be stuck back to back to another suitcase page, only one
side will show.

9. Now it’s time to assemble the album. I adhered one suitcase page to the inside of the front and back covers. Then, I added one to the front and back of each spine fold … sandwiching them on the
“mountain” and creating 3 double-sided pages (6 individual pages). Including the inside covers, this gives you 8 scrapbook pages in total.

I hope you’ll try this fun project made with Lori’s Hidden Binding Mini Album Suitcase (Silhouette) cutting file. It’s perfect for your vacation photos, or … it makes a wonderful gift idea. Have a great day! 😊

3D Easter Egg Tutorial

April 17, 2025April 17, 2025

Hello crafty friends. Noelene here today, I want to share with you how I made these cute fun 3D Easter Eggs, using the following Lori Whitlock Files: 3D Easter Egg 2 (Silhouette, SVG), 3D Easter Egg 3 (Silhouette, SVG), 3D Easter Egg 4 (Silhouette, SVG), 3D Easter Egg 5 (Silhouette, SVG) & 3D Easter Egg 6 (Silhouette, SVG).

For my tutorial I am using 3D Easter Egg 4 (Silhouette, SVG).

I started out by opening my file in Silhouette & using the transform tool to enlarge all my panels to 135%. This gave me an egg with the dimensions approx 3.5″ wide x 5″ high.

Then I proceeded to cut the panels using coloured cardstock for the coloured panels & vellum for the grey panels.

I finely glued the vellum onto the back of eacg tulip patterned panel being careful not to put too much. Now let them dry.

Next I took the 3 egg shaped panels & insterted them into each other starting with the one with the 2 slits on top & bottom (far right on above image). Then I insterted the one with the slits on the outer edge (middle on above image) then lastly inserting the one with the slits on the inner edge, (far left on above image).

Then I inserted the big round shape onto the bottom slits.

Doing the same with the smaller round shape on top.

Lastly take the tulip panels & insert the wider part into the bottom of the egg shape & the narrower part into the top part of the egg.

Now do the same with the remainder of the panels & you are done. If you wish you can add some light using led tealight candles for a lantern effect.

I will be using mine in my Easter table setting.

If you want to make the lot like I plan to do, (because why not! They’re quick & simple to make! You can purchase these files individually or as a bundle here!

Easter Projects Tutorial

April 10, 2025April 17, 2025

Hello there!

My tutorial is very easy today but I wanted to show you the cute little candy baskets, bags and boxes I have been making for Easter. You still have plenty of time to make some of these fast and easy projects!

Basic directions on these projects is to cut your pieces and fold on the scored lines. Glue any little pieces to form faces etc and glue the project up joining at the flaps. These cut files are simple so you can make all of these, or pick one and make multiples. They are perfect to hold a bit of candy. The chick bag and the white Easter bunny basket with it’s fun little hair bow are also a good size to hold a gift card.

*****

Treat Bag Easter Chick (SVG, Silhouette)

The chick on this bag is adorable. Lori also made a bunny bag too . With so few pieces this is a quick one to finish. Glue the black piece behind the chick head and add the rosy cheeks and the beak. I added some shading with distress inks before I put the pieces on. This bag would easily hold a nice size candy bar and is the largest of all the projects. Stands 5.5 inches tall.

*****

Easter Basket with Carrots (SVG, Silhouette)

Fold this one up, add glue to all side tabs and fold up to form the box. Burnish the glued tabs a bit so that they all stick well. Add your little carrot design on the front and tie up the top.

*****

Easter Bunny Petal Basket (SVG)

I made this guy with kraft paper. I creased all the score lines and glued the black piece on the inside where the face cut out is. I added the nose with dimensionals before closing the box by bringing up the two top loops and then slip the sides with the slits over the top. I glued on the ears about a quarter of an inch from each edge.

*****

3D Easter Carrot Box (SVG, Silhouette)

Glue on the “greenery”(love the fun scallops) and then fold the carrot in half along the center score line and glue together with the side tab. All that’s left is to tie the top with some twine or ribbon. This project is just over 8 inches long including the carrot top greens.

*****

Easter Bunny Tote (SVG, Silhouette)

For this file- glue the black piece on the back of the piece with the face so the eyes and whiskers show through.

Glue the other white piece with the ears to the back of the face section so it covers the black piece for a finished look. Glue the sections together then fold in half and glue together with the tab. Glue the bottom flaps One thing about Lori’s files- when you fold a file in half (like boxes ,bags, 3D cards) the two sections match perfectly. I love this-no struggle to force a file to fit together. Glue the bottom flaps.

I added the handle on with two brads but you could easily just glue them on.
