Snowman Flexi Card Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I have a fun and quick little card tutorial for you today.  I haven’t made one of Lori’s Flexi cards in quite awhile and was scrolling through my library and came across this super cute one.  They are so easy to make, they fold flat for mailing and your recipient will love it.  You can find this file here In Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.  Or you can down get a whole bundle of fun Christmas, Christmas Flexi Bundle.  I did alter it a little bit.
Start by cutting all out your pieces out.
Ink your edges!
Adhere your pattern papers to the card base.
On this little piece adhere your patterned paper, and some scor tape.
This little tab slides under the white snow and tree piece.
Okay, here is where I altered it a bit….I just trimmed the snowman off and added a snowman doodlepop from Doodlebug.  He was too cute to resist.
The big tab slides in here

 

And the other tab slides in the other slot.  There you have it, an easy peasy little flexi  card.  It really just took minutes to create.

Have a great day!

Fold Flat Tutor House Bundle Tutorial

 Hello Crafty Friends, Noelene here today to share my project using the Fold Flat Tudor House Bundle from Lori Whitlock (SVG,
Fold Flat Tudor House 1 Silhouette
Fold Flat Tudor House 2 Silhouette.
Fold Flat Tudor House 3 Silhouette
These little houses make an adorable addition to your decor & then can be folded flat for storage. They are so easy to put together.
I wanted my roof to have a pattern like a real roof. So I embossed it with a scalloped design embossing folder. To do this I firstly folded the roof panel along the perforated line then gave it a light spray of water to make the cardstock more bendable without tearing. Do not use too much water because it will fuse both sides together. Now put the roof panel aside.
Next I glued the timber frame panels to the front of my house bases.
Next I turned them over & glued the coloured window frame panels to the back side making sure to carefully align any windows or doors in place.
For my windows I have used vellum incase I wanted to add any fairy lights inside my houses. I glued the vellum on top of the window frame panel.
The next step was to glue the side flaps of the building to join your 2 building pieces together. You can now close the bottom flap to create a box. Do not glue the bottom flap. This way you can simply open it & fold your building flat for storage.
Next add glue to the roof base side that is joined to the building.
Now carefully adhere to the inside of the embossed roof piece making sure you centre it. The other side should be free & not glued down. Now fold the other side of the roof down & slide through the cut slots of the roof into the chimneys to secure it into place.
It should now look like this.
Now I wanted to go one step further & give my houses Christmas decorations. I made some embellishments using Sculpey clay & molds. You can use anything you like. Although by using raised embellishments I will need to be extra careful how I lay for storage. You can also create flat decorations using any dies or stickers in your stash.

Box Card Envelope Christmas Poinsettia

Hello crafty friends, as you can see a Christmas card on a super sunny day in September!
I love making Christmas cards, and when you need a lot of them it’s a good thing to start early!
(I know for myself that I have to rush when I don’t!). When I saw this card in the bundle with 2 others I fell in love right away, and had to make them.
You can find the files here SILHOUETTE & SVG.
I love these envelope cards from Lori, they are so easy to make and they fold flat for mailing.

 

I will make a bunch more of Lori’s cute Christmas cards for sure! How about you?
Thanks for stopping by,
XOXO Tamara

 

 

 

5×7 Santa Claus Box Card

Hi there!  Seems the summer has flown by and it’s time to start thinking about the holidays.  Lori has quite a few new Christmas files new in the shop.  So for you early Christmas card makers you can get started now.  I used her new 5×7 Santa Claus Box Card in the shop or you can find it in the Silhouette Online Design store.

I love to make Lori’s box and envelope cards, they are my favorites.  I couldn’t resist this one and I love how he came out!  They are so easy to make and they fold flat for mailing.  I’m hoping to get an early start on my Christmas cards with these adorable files.  Wish me luck! ~Cathy
