Double Sliding Thank You Card

Hello Everyone! Anita here with a fun holiday thank you card.  I am always so appreciative of being thought of at this time of year and Lori has this great Double Sliding Card Thank You (SVG, Silhouette) which I assembled to send out to a special couple of people.

I used Lori’s Echo Park Paper collection called Christmas Magic. Lori also has a tutorial to put together this card which you can find here: Double Sliding Card Thank You Card tutorial parts 1 and 2.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita

 

3D Christmas Tree Favor Box Tutorial

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the Lori Whitlock blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box (SVG, Silhouette). This adorable little Christmas tree is perfect for gifting and sure to make your recipient smile.

I used my SIlhouette Cameo 4 to cut the pieces for the 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box. I was able to use paper scraps for the majority of the project. In fact, I only used one piece of “new” paper for the entire project. I used a full-size 12×12 piece of cardstock to cut the pieces to make the tree boxes. Although the file showed the pieces in two different colors of green, I made them the same color. 

 

 

Once all of the pieces were cut, I inked the edges of the patterned paper I used for the tree using Distress Ink.  Next, I used my tape gun to adhere the patterned pieces to the top of the outside tree box as shown below.  (The outside tree box is the bigger of the two green pieces and has two triangles.) Once I had the patterned paper attached, I folded both tree box pieces along the score lines and added adhesive tape to the tabs. Next, I built the two tree boxes by folding along the score lines and attaching the tabs to close the boxes on three sides.

 

Next, I used double-sided adhesive tape to stack the three red circles to create the tree skirt base for the 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box. Then, I built the brown tree trunks using the same method as the tree boxes. Once I folded along the score lines and added adhesive, I put the two tree trunks together. The larger of the two serves as the base, so once I finished putting it together, I adhered it to the center of the red circles.
Before adding my decorations to the front of the tree, I used adhesive tape to attach the second, smaller brown box to the base of the inside tree box. Finally, I used the stars from the cut file along with enamel dots to decorate the front of the tree. If you don’t want to use enamel dots, you can always use the circles that come in the cut file instead.
 

Until next time,

Michelle, aka the Bookish Designer

NEW! 5×7 Grid Pop Up Cards!

Have you seen the 13 new Christmas 5×7 Grid Pop Up Cards in the shop this week?  I love these cards because they assemble so easily. If you’re looking for a quick card to make, this is a great one! All you need to do is cut the SVG file out with your digital cutting machine (Silhouette, Cricut, Scan ‘n Cut, etc) and assemble. The only adhesive necessary for assembly is for the layered embellishments. I tried to keep the layered embellishments as simple as possible. The card base does not require any glue or tape. At the bottom of this post is a quick video showing how easy these are to assemble. And, this week you can buy them in the SVG SHOP, 30% off with coupon code: DEC2022. 
Please let me know if you’re interested in seeing more of this card style in other themes. I hope you enjoy these fun new files. I hope you’re all having a lovely holiday season!

3D Hot Cocoa Mug Santa Tutorial

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Santa (SVG, Silhouette). This little 3D project is a cute treat box that would also make a cute decor piece. I used papers from The Magic of Christmas collection as well as some black, white, and brown cardstock. I also used liquid glue to assemble it.

For the saucer fold all of the score lines in a valley fold. Add glue to the one tab, creating a complete circle with a hexagon shape in the middle.
Add glue to the tabs in the middle of the circle and place the hexagon on top.
On to the mug. With the outside of the cup facing up fold all of the score lines in mountain folds.
All of the panels are the same so it doesn’t matter which one you start with. Add glue to the tabs and using the score lines and the edge of the next panel, line the two panels up together and pinch each tab for a few seconds to secure the glue. Continue around the cup with the same method on all six sides.

Now with the sides all glued together, assemble the Santa on one side of the mug. There are also two shoulders and two beard/hair pieces that attach to the right and the left sides of the Santa. The face is in two layers. The black layer is glued down first then the flesh-colored paper next.

The mustache, pompom, and holly are the finishing touches to Santa.
The handle of the mug is two pieces that are glued together. Be sure not to glue the tabs together.
Fold the tabs out and add glue. Attach the handle to the mug with a corner of the cup in the middle of the tabs.
The lid is also in two parts. For the cocoa/brown part, all of the score lines are folded in mountain folds. And the whipped cream is valley folds.
I decided to glue the whipped cream panels together. But I don’t think it is necessary. Either way, glue the whipped cream to the center of the cocoa and the lid is complete. The lid just slides into the mug with the tabs on the inside of the mug.
Now the mug is ready to fill with a yummy treat! Thanks for stopping by!
