Cook’s Apron Box Christmas Style

The leftovers of Thanksgiving are all put away so its time to start thinking about Christmas. I created this cute little apron using Cook’s Apron Box (SVG, Silhouette).

I used the Have A Holly Jolly Christmas line that is absolutely amazing! I increased the box size to be able to add some cookies and hot cocoa toppings as a fun little office gift.
I added some of the chipboard and sticker elements to the apron pocket with some pop dots. This line is great for holiday baking.

 

Happy Crafting!!

Gift Card Tag Santa Tutorial

Hello everyone, Marcia here.  Christmas is creeping up. I am a big fan of giving gift cards so my recipients can pick out their own gift but I like to make gift card holders to put them in. I selected the Gift Card Tag Santa (SVG, Silhouette) to make for my gift cards this year.  There is a pocket on the back side of this tag that holds the gift card. I used Lori’s Have a Holly Jolly Christmas collection to create my tags.

These are really easy to assemble. Let me show you how.

1. Cut out the pieces from the desired pattern paper or cardstock.

2. Fold the tag along the score lines folding the flaps up. Apply glue to the flaps and adhere to the back of the tag to form the pocket.

3. Adhere the white beard and Santa suit trim to the top of the tag.

4. Slip the black belt through the belt buckle and adhere to the bottom of the tag. Add the two black buttons above the belt on the white trim.

5. Add ribbon or other embellishments as you wish.

Snow Globe Shadow Box Gingerbread Card Tutorial

Hi friends! I know I know it’s a little early for some of you, but I have moved on to Christmas crafting. I was inspired by the Have a Holly Jolly Christmas Collection by Lori Whitlock and Echo Park. I loved all the gingerbread houses and baking elements. So cute. I saw this Snow Globe Shadow Box Card Gingerbread (SVG, Silhouette) and thought it would be perfect with this collection.

This card comes together fairly easy. If you have a hard time with traditional box card assembly, try this version. I thought this was much easier. The toughest part is the tiny pieces used to decorate the gingerbread house. There are two inserts, the snow globe frame, and the decorative elements. All of the folds are mountain folds. I assembled the tiny pieces first. I used a fine tip glue bottle to get everything assembled then glued everything down on the inserts. The front insert has the round peppermint candies, and the back insert has the house. The door and the window are glued down after the house is in place. The decorative panels all glued to the outside of the snow globe frame.

Once all of the outside panels were secure I flipped the card over and glued down the decorative background of the snow globe. I embossed mine with a snowflake embossing folder. The two inserts have tabs that will slide into the slots. I then gently folded the inserts over and slid the other tabs into the slots. I added glue the tabs on the snow globe base and folded the front of the card over and made sure everything was lined up and held for a few seconds while the glue took hold.

I love how this card turned out, so festive and sweet. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely holiday!

Hello Fall Y’all Card

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a cute house-shaped card for fall that I made using one of Lori’s wonderful cutting files. It’s actually titled Christmas House Card (SVG, Silhouette) but I re-imagined it with fall-colored papers and created an autumn version!

I used the Echo Park, I Love Fall Collection designed by Lori and chose the 12×12 solid papers in cream/ brown and orange/green. The tan paper used for the brick shapes is the 6×6 print called Autumn Woods.

I changed the Merry Christmas sign to Hello Fall Y’all with the Silhouette software and the text feature. Then, I embellished it with some cute enamel dots.

This is a great card for a house-warming, welcome to the neighborhood, Thanksgiving, or to let someone know that you are thinking of them this season!

Here is the cutting file I used …

I love finding different uses for a cutting file by changing the paper, colors, wording, etc. Please give this Christmas House Card a try. It makes a beautiful card for any season!

Thanksgiving Tag Bags

Hello everyone, Marcia here. Can you believe it’s November already and in no time it is going to be Thanksgiving! I wanted to make some treat bags for the little ones attending our Thanksgiving dinner. Lori Whitlock’s 2 on 12×12 Tag Bag Pilgrim (SVG, Silhouette) and the 2 on 12×12 Tag Bag Indian  (SVG, Silhouette) were just what I was looking for. I used the Echo Park Paper I Love Fall collection to create my tags along with a heavy cardstock for the bag.

 
Washi tape from the I Love Fall collection lines the bottom of the tags. After piecing my pilgrim and Native American girl together, I used some foam tape to adhere them to the tags. I attached the tags to the bags with some raffia paper ribbon.
 

 

 
Lori has lots of other fun Thanksgiving bags and treat boxes in her shop. Go check them all out.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.
