Turkey Favor Box by Brigit

Hello there, now that Halloween is over I’m starting to plan for Thanksgiving. I thought this Turkey Favor Box from the November Kit of the Month from Lori’s shop would be perfect for the kiddies.  It is also available as a stand-alone file in Lori’s Shop here.

You can get this box also at the Silhouette Design Store here. I used some of Doodlebug Design’s Petite Prints and a cute tag from Echo Park’s Celebrate Autumn chipboard phrases to piece it all together.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Thanksgiving Tag Bag with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  I can’t believe it is already November, this year has flown by!  Halloween is gone and now we’re headed into the Thanksgiving season!  I always love Thanksgiving, it’s one holiday that truly feels like it’s all about getting together with the ones you love, and sharing some time (and turkey of course!)  This year, I’m not cooking so I thought it would be nice to bring a little something to my host.  Lori’s new Tag Bags are the perfect wrapping for a little something special!  I made the Tag Bag Turkey (SVG, Silhouette).   Take a peek…

These bags are great because you can cut 2 of them from one piece of 12×12 paper, so they’re easy to mass produce!  You could even use them as place cards!  Lori has a great assembly tutorial on her YouTube Channel here.  Be sure to check out all of the Tag Bag designs here!  That’s it for me today thanks for stopping by to peek!

Fold and Tuck Lantern Tutorial with Michelle

Can you believe that it’s November already? I love November! I love that I can craft Fall projects, as well as Holiday projects. Today I would like to share a tutorial for the Hexagon Fold and Tuck Lantern Found in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop as well as the Silhouette Design Store. It’s my first Holiday project of the season!

Hexagon Fold and Tuck Paper Christmas LanternThis is such a fun project. The lantern looks difficult, but it’s not. It is an easy project. Let me show you step by step, how to put it together.

 

  1. Using your electronic cutting machine, cut all three paper elements. Double sided paper looks wonderful with this project since you will be seeing the underside.
  2. Using the main large piece, the body of the lantern, carefully lift the chevron elements to a vertical position, as shown. I like to do one row at a time.
  3. Take the last vertical chevron piece and tuck the arrow portion under the empty piece behind it as shown in the photo. Continue tucking the chevron arrows until you complete the row.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all rows are completed. Doesn’t that look awesome?
  5. Fold along all score lines. There is a large glue tab at the end. Apply your adhesive along that tab and glue the ends together to form a tube. Sit the tube aside to dry completely.
  6. Now you will form your lid. Fold along all score line. Apply a small dot of glue to one of the triangle tabs and glue it to the lip of the lid as shown. Continue gluing the triangles one at a time until the hexagon lid is formed. Sit the lid aside to dry completely.
  7. Now it is time to attach the base to the bottom of the lantern. Fold along all score lines. Place the inside color up facing you. Working quickly, apply a bit of glue to all tabs.
  8. Take the hexagon body tube and place it right over the base as shown from the top view.
  9. Using a pencil or bone folder, make sure the tabs are securely attached to the inside of the base as shown.
  10. Allow your lantern to dry completely before decorating.

Now that’s finished, you can have fun decorating it! Using hot glue, I added a tiny spray of pinecones and chipboard elements from the Echo Park Paper Celebrate Christmas collection. I also put a battery-operated LED light inside. It makes a beautiful display of light and shadows! Remember to never use a real candle. The paper will burn!
