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!

Suitcase Mini Album Tutorial

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a cute travel mini album that I made using Lori’s NEW cutting file titled Hidden Binding Mini Album Suitcase. (Silhouette) The fun shape is so versatile and can be made with any paper collection for your vacation needs. Since summer is ahead, I created it with a sunny beach theme.🌞

 

Suitcase Shaped Travel Mini Scrapook Album for vacation photos

Lori has designed a bunch of these hidden binding shaped albums and I love them! I’ve made the rectangle, apple, house, flower, telephone, and tag shape. Today’s mini is about travel, so the suitcase shape is perfect!

For this “fun in the sun” project, I used the Doodlebug Design Seaside Summer Collection. But it would also be great for winter skiing, a visit to the lake, a cabin in the mountains, a road trip, a cruise, or any vacation.

Let’s take a quick look inside, then I’ll explain how I made it.

 

Suitcase Shaped Travel Scrapbook Mini Album Pages with cute summer and beach images

I decorated each page with 6×6 inch papers, fun die cuts, cute stickers, and a few enamel dots.

Isn’t this cute? Such a colorful little scrapbook. For larger photos and details of each page, visit my blog here.

Now, for the tutorial …

 

Suitcase Shaped Summer Travel Scrapbook Mini Album Tutorial

1. First, I cut out the pieces. Since all of the suitcase shape pages are sandwiched using 2 pieces, I needed 10 total … 2 for the front cover, 2 for the back cover, and 6 for the 3 scrapbook pages inside.

2.  Note that the center piece is scored for the binding. The score
lines are a bit hard to see on the brown image 😊.  I folded along each
of the score lines to create “mountains” and “valleys”.

3. Then, I added adhesive inside the “valleys” and stuck the sides together.

4.  Once the binding piece is adhered, it should look like this ^.

5.  And the back side (the spine) will look like this ^.

6. Next, the cutting file comes
with pieces for the pattern paper that goes on top of the white spine,
front and back covers, and suitcase shaped pages. I chose the blue waves print and adhered it to one side only of the exterior pieces.

7.  Once that was done, I adhered the front cover to the front of the first
spine fold. Then, the back cover to the back of the last spine fold. When it’s opened up flat, the
album covers and spine should look like this ^ on the outside.

… and like this ^ on the inside.

8. Next, I adhered pattern paper to ONE SIDE ONLY of the 8 remaining
suitcase shapes. Since these will be stuck back to back to another suitcase page, only one
side will show.

9.  Now it’s time to assemble the album.  I adhered one suitcase page to the inside of the front and back covers. Then, I added one to the front and back of each spine fold … sandwiching them on the
“mountain” and creating
3 double-sided pages (6 individual pages). Including the inside covers, this gives you 8 scrapbook pages in total.

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!

12×12 Easter Bunny Page

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I have a cute 12×12 Easter scrapbook page to share with you. I made it using two of Lori’s pretty cutting files and lots of colorful papers. Since Easter is this Sunday, I thought a fun layout would be perfect for a few holiday photos of coloring eggs. Take a look …

This sweet bunny rabbit is the star of this page! I just 🩷 her little flower crown. So, let’s start with her …

I used Lori’s adorable 5×7 Easter Bunny Card 4 file (SVG, Silhouette) and a colorful mix of solid card stock. I assembled the pieces, then added
some enamel dots to the flowers for sparkle.

She’s so cute … she deserved a close-up!

Next, I chose another one of Lori’s cutting files called 4 Spring Borders (SVG, Silhouette) to make this pretty scalloped piece. Now … time to build the page!

To begin, I chose a rainbow stripe pattern paper from the Doodlebug Design Bunny Hop
Collection as the base. Then, I added bubblegum card stock at the top and the scalloped border in the middle.

In the top corner, I adhered the “coloring”, “eggs”, and flower die cuts from the Bunny Hop Collection along with some pretty enamel sprinkles. And for the journaling spot, I used 3 punches to make this … a 3″ scallop circle, a 2.5″ circle, and a 2.25″ circle then layered them all.

Next, were the photo mats. I cut 2 out of limeade paper and added more die cuts, dots, and the “Happy” tab.

As a finishing touch, I gave the bunny 3 colorful egg die cuts to hold on to, and … she’s ready for Easter! Yep … she and her carrots are pretty cute. 🥕🐰🥕

I hope this layout gives you a little holiday inspiration. I had so much fun using the 5×7 Easter Bunny Card 4 and the 4 Spring Borders cutting files. Highly recommend! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
