Hexagon Pop Up Beach Ball Card

Hexagon Pop Up Beachball Card Bundle
 
You can find this card in a Hexagon Pop Up Bundle, or purchase it by itself. 
 
You can buy the single card here (Lori Whitlock, Silhouette)
 
 
Here is a tutorial for you today!
Here are some of the working parts glued together and ready to go.
This is the base piece. I creased all the fold lines.
You will add glue to the center of each section and then fold the piece upon itself, matching the two glued parts together.
This is what it will look like from the side.
This is what it will look from the top. There are 3 slots with the largest in the center.
You can insert the pieces numbered 1, 2 and 3 in order to get an idea of what this card will look like but you will need to take out #2 an #3 while dealing with #1-it’s just easier.
Glue the tab of #1 and glue it so it stands straight when folding the base upright.
Fold the first base section, being careful to make sure when you fold it flat, that it will flatten fully.
Here it is flattened. 
 
Insert #2 into the other side base section and glue it flat onto the  inside center piece.
Here I am inserting #3 piece. When you fold the second side up make sure your #3 piece is glued up straight and then glue the main side flap together, forming an open square on each side
It looks like this when you set it up. Take note of the little tabs on the bottom of each side.
Add glue to the front and back of each base piece. Here, you will align the long piece,  making sure to line up with the bottom of the box and going over  each little side tab. The tab on the long piece should secure in the back by adding glue to the last tab. Assure your card will easily flatten. As you stand the card up and push down on the outside frame, it will lock  those little side tabs sticking out into the outside frame.
Here you can see what the bottom looks like. Very neat and finished.
Side view. To re-flatten just push on the  inside and that will pop out the secured tabs. 
All finished! I just adore the little bluebird Lori added to the file!
 
I hope you enjoyed this card–the hexagon  cards really impress people when they pull it out of the envelope!

3D Flower Pot 6

Hello! Today I am sharing one of the new 3D Flower Pots. I made the 3D Flower Pot 6 (SVG, Silhouette). I included a Thinking of You sentiment and added a battery powered light to the inside of the flowerpot. This little flower pot is perfect to give to someone who needs a little pick me up. I used papers and embellishments from the Firefly collection by Echo Park Paper.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mother’s Day Stickers Tutorial

Welcome to Thursday Tutorial.  Lori has some lovely Mother’s Day Stickers in her shop (SVG, Silhouette). I’m going to share a couple of ways to use them or any stickers in the shop.  This tutorial is specific to Silhouette, but you can use the ideas on other platforms.

1. Open the Stickers in Silhouette Studio.

 

2. Go to the Send Screen. If the stickers look like the picture below, select all the stickers, and Click Cut Edge.

3. You can print the stickers just like this.  Be sure to select a high quality print setting, and choose photo or presentation paper for the paper.  I used Avery Sticker paper that can easily be found at Office Supply stores.  Silhouette sticker paper is great to use as well.

4. After printing the stickers, they are ready to cut.  For the Avery Sticker paper, you want to edit the default Sticker settings.  I decreased the Force to 6.

This cut setting will cut through the sticker, but not the backing.

5. Next idea, is to make a sticker sheet. I created a box that would fit in an A2 envelope (4.25 x 5.75).

Be sure to change the color of the rectangle to blue.  Then drag and drop stickers to the rectangle, re-sizing as needed.

6. Now let’s get ready to cut. Select the Line choice at the right in the Send page.

 

The red line will be the sticker cut settings; the blue line will be to cut the rectangle.  Scroll down to edit the settings as needed.

So some ideas to use these stickers and sheets.  You can print some stickers out either full size sheet, or the smaller sheet.  Give some cardstock and the stickers to kids to create a fun card.

Hope you enjoy.  You can do the same activity with the Father’s Day stickers (SVG, Silhouette).

Hope you enjoy creating!

Baby Boy Banner

Hello! Last week, I got to celebrate my daughter who is having a baby boy this June.  Family and friends gathered to wish the soon-to-be mama and new baby well.  I made a cute baby banner for the decor.

Here is the banner displayed.

I made 4 custom pieces on double sided cardstock, and I used 3 cards from Lori’s Special Delivery: Baby Boy Collection.

For the custom pieces I used these files:

Baby Banner (SVG, Silhouette)

Bodysuit and bear from the Baby Card Dresser (SVG, Silhouette)

Pacifier from Baby Sheep Card (SVG, Silhouette)

Bottle from Twist Pop Card Baby (SVG, Silhouette)

 

You can choose a few of your favorite baby projects and create your own custom baby banner. Thanks for checking out this project.

Onesie Mini Album

Hi everyone! Back in February 2024, I got a call about a very special little girl coming home from Thailand. She was born at just 26 weeks, and now—over a year later—she’s finally home in South Dakota for the first time. She needed some help to make the trip, and with lots of effort and phone calls, we made it happen.

Now, that little miracle is home, doing well, and she just turned one at the end of March! I had the joy of meeting her, and she completely stole my heart. I made this mini album just for her.

You can find the file here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store. I used Lori’s Echo Park Birthday Girl Collection. I had so much fun creating this for this little princess. She truly is a miracle, and I hope her parents know how much she has touched my heart and how much I loved being a part of her journey home.

Happy Birthday!
