Thanksgiving Holiday Cracker with Anita

Happy Thursday Everyone!

Anita here with a Thanksgiving project that was originally designed to be a Valentine’s Day project.  It was a lot of fun to re-purpose this file !  The cut file I used is the 3D Heart Cracker Box and you can find it here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette store.  I also used Lori’s Thanksgiving Icons files which can be found  here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette store.  The papers are from Lori’s wonderful new Echo Park collection called A Perfect Autumn.

Here is a photo of the original cut file.

I  wanted to use the Thanksgiving Icons in place of the hearts and needed to make sure that they were the right size to cover up the heart tabs on the end of the cracker.  I started by un-grouping the cracker file and deleting the smaller hearts.  I then resized the Thanksgiving Icons to the following dimensions:  pumpkins  2.480″ X 2.39″ , Pilgrim hats  2.873″ X 2.249″ and Pies  3.091″ X 1.899″.  These sizes were big enough to cover the heart tabs.

I duplicated and cut a mirror image of each of the icons so that they would look great when adhered to either side of the heart.

In the following photo you can see that I have made a mirror image of the pumpkin on the left.

Here are some of the cut pieces for the pumpkin.  I am missing two pumpkins and two stems but wanted to give you an idea of what if looks like when cut.

Next I assembled the box.   I started by gluing a piece of  acetate to the inside of the window and then added the scalloped oval to the outside of the window.  I filled the box then folded in the end tabs and then glued the hearts together.  I finished it by gluing the icons onto the hearts.

 

Here are close ups of the three boxes.

I am so happy with how these came out.  Crackers or poppers in the store are so expensive and not filled with yummy chocolates like mine.  Hope this has made you think about other ways to repurpose the cut files you have and are considering buying.

Hugs,

Anita

Haunted House Ornament with Michelle

Hello Crafty Friends! I am Michelle Zerull from Pinch Your Chic and I’d like to share a fun tutorial for these adorable Haunted House Ornaments.

The ornaments are made using Haunted House Ornament SVG digital cutting files from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or you can find the same Haunted House Ornament files at the Silhouette Design Store. The files come with many fun little Halloween elements to make  your house as spooky as you want.

After downloading your files, cut your pieces on your Digital cutting machine using whatever colors and patterns appeal to you. (This project is also Silhouette Portrait compatible for those users!)

You will also need glue and string or ribbon to hang your ornaments. Optional: If you would like to place paper on the inside of the windows, cut this also. I cut four squares of 1 1/2″ vellum for the inside of mine. If you would like to ink, paint, or glitter any of your house elements, this would be the time to do that.

Glue the window, doors and other house elements to your main house piece. It is easier to glue these now, rather than waiting until it is assembled.

 

  1. Fold sides of House structure and glue tabs inside. this will create an open ended rectangle.
  2. Fold in the bottom and glue closed.
  3. Fold the three roof pieces in half and glue together to form one piece. Set aside. Cut a 6″-8″ piece of string or ribbon. Fold the string in half, knot and set aside. The knot will need to be bigger than the hole in the roof piece. Now fold the “triangle” roof pieces inward. Also fold the roof top tabs inward.
  4. Run the string through one of the roof holes. Make sure that the knot is on the inside.
  5. Press the knotted tab inward. Fold under the opposite tab.
  6. glue the two tabs together. This forms the roof peak.
  7. Add glue to the roof. Push the strip loop through the roof sections from step #3 and adhere the roof.

That’s it! As you are working with the pieces, you will find that the assembly is much easier than it appears…and lots of fun too!

This was such a fun and easy project to assemble! As you can see, I made several of these little Haunted Houses. Lori Whitlock has other fun paper houses at her SVG Shop. Be sure to check them out. I know that I will!
