Snowman Gift Box with Kathy

January 4, 2018November 5, 2019

Hi Everyone, and Happy New Year! I don’t know about where you are but we are covered with snow here in the Boston Area! I’m not a fan of the cold, but I do love snowmen! I decided to make my own little snowman gift box using Lori’s new Polygon Box – 8 Sides. (here in the Silhouette store).

This little collection of boxes is the perfect way to package up a treat or small gifts! It was really easy to put together. I started by loading the box into Silhouette. I then copied the box two more times to make up the 3 segments of the snowman’s body. I resized each box so that they were graduated in size. Widths are 11.75, 10.25 and 8.75. Be sure to resize proportionately.

I cut the boxes, and glued the decorative panels to each piece before I set to assembling them.

These boxes are very easy to assemble. To start, I folded the score lines on the tabs and then along the side panel. Then you simply glue each section of the side to it’s corresponding tab to form the base.

To finish, just glue the remaining side section to both the tab on the side and the tab on the bottom piece.

The top and the bottom of the box are assembled in the same manner. Once I had all three boxes assembled, I decided to make a hat for the snowman. I sized the bottom half of the box as shown below and then made a “brim” for the hat by re-sizing one of the decorative cover panels.

The rest is as easy as building a snowman! I stacked the boxes and added a face & buttons using enamel dots. The scarf is a piece of ribbon glued to the sides of the cover on the middle box. I used a removable glue dot to hold the pieces together. And of course I had to add the cute little birdie, (SVG here in Lori’s Shop) which is this week’s free file in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!

And each box opens to reveal a treat inside!

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Winter Gift Set by Brigit

January 1, 2018December 31, 2017

Hello, and Happy New year! It’s Brigit here today sharing a winter gift set featuring the A2 Snowman Card and the Tall Christmas Tree Box. I’m using this set as a thank you for a friend but it would make a cute set for any winter occasion.

You can get both of these files also from the Silhouette Design Store, A2 Snowman Card and the Tall Christmas Tree Box. I used the svg from Lori’s store so I could cut them out on my cricut maker.

I made the card thinner so the snowman would better match the one on the tall box. I used paper from Echo Park’s A Perfect Winter designed by Lori along with frames and tags, decorate brads and enamel dots from the collection.

I just did a release compound path to get rid of the Christmas tree and resized the snowman to fit on the front layer. This is such a cute box, it was perfect for the makeup items I put inside.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

Christmas Thank You Cards with Anita

December 28, 2017December 31, 2017

Anita here with a post holiday thank you card set. I am always touched by the generosity of others during the holiday season and always like to take a moment to thank them for thinking of me. Lori has some wonderful cut files to use for just this purpose. I used one of her new Echo Park collections which is called A Perfect Winter. I just love the patterns and colors and the embellishments are swoon worthy. I used the following cut files to make these cards. I am going to put the names of the files below each card as the names are very similar.
