Tool Themed Baby Boy Overall Card

 Hello Crafty friends, as you may recall, last week I created a Baby Themed Lion Overall card for the Lori Whitlock blog hop! I had so much positive feedback that I even got a request to create another with a different theme for a little boy’s 2nd Birthday! Therefore for my project today I want to share with you the same Baby Boy Overall Card file (SVG, Silhouette), in a different theme. 

The recipient loves anything to do with vehicles & tools just like his Daddy, so I came up with the idea of adding the tools from the Tool Box Father’s Day A2 card file (SVG, Silhouette).

 

I enlarged the shirt, overalls, shoulders straps & a pocket from the overall file enough that the shirt fit fully on the page in my Silhouette program. For this card you can see I have only used one of the pockets & placed it in the centre. By enlarging my card just a little it allows more space for my tools to be placed without looking crammed. This creates a card approx 4 5/8 x 5 7/8. I will use a 5×7 envelope.
Next I drew white stitches using a white gelly roll no.10 marker. Then I glued my overall elements except for the pocket. I then cut & put together my tools from the Toolbox Fathers Day card. I used some silver metallic cardstock as well to make them look more realistic. I did not alter the size of the tools & used the original sizes.


I then carefully arranged my tools using the pocket as a guide before glueing everything down. I did have to snip some of the tools from the bottom so that they sat better & didn’t overlap creating a bulky look in the pocket.

 

I finished off by gluing some buttons from my stash & adding a black enamel dot to the pliers.


I love how this turned out! I hope I have inspired you to give this a try & would love to see what other Lori Whitlock files you can combine for your creations using the Baby Boy Overall card.

Thanks for stopping by!

3D Envelope Box Flowers Tutorial

Hi there! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the 3D Box Flowers (SVG, Silhouette). Lori has three versions of this cute decor piece. You can find them here. This box would make the perfect gift for anyone that likes to receive a bouquet of flowers with the added bonus of the flower’s not dying!

I was a little stumped about what colors to make my flowers but knew I wanted sunflowers. So for some inspiration I googled sunflower bouquets and found a lot of beautiful options. I settled on blues and lavender. The pattern papers I used come from the Day in the Life No. 2 collection by Echo Park Paper.

All of the flat style flowers have two layers for the petals and most have three layers for the middles. I inked the edges of all of my flowers to give them a little dimension.
For the rolled flowers I used a quilling tool. I like how tight I can get the roll with the tool. I started on the outside edge and rolled all the way to the base of the flower. Once I had the flower rolled, I pulled the tool out and pinched the flower with my thumb and fore finger a slightly loosened the roll, I then added hot glue to the base and pressed the roll into the glue. After the glue was cool and set, I flared the petals with my thumb. I repeated the steps for the other two rolled flowers.
I folded all of the score line into mountain folds, added the decorative papers to the outside of the box, and glued the box pieces together.
I then folded the bottom front flap down, added glue to the two side tabs, and then glue to the back bottom tab and flipped the box up and pushed from the inside to secure the base of the box. I also glued the decorative paper piece to the inside of the box.
The inserts each have two tabs that are a valley fold, I used a bone folder to get a strong fold so that when I added the glue to the tabs it wouldn’t get everywhere while I got the insert lined up. After I got one side lined up and where I wanted I used a small cloths pin to hold the tab in place while worked on the other side. For the first insert I didn’t glue the flowers on before I glued it into the box (this is the easiest way). I used the same process for the second insert except I had the flowers on the insert first which made the process a little more difficult.  Once the inserts were dry, I added the flowers and leaves to the first insert.
The front of the box has a greenery piece with three little flower buds and four circles showing where to glue the remaining flowers down.
I also added some fussy cut butterflies and a pearl to my white flower for a little added embellishment.
I really love how this turned out! Thanks for being here today!
