Lighted Shadowbox Decor Santa Tutorial

 Hello friends, Marcia here. I am sharing a tutorial on the blog today for the new Holiday Lighted Shadowbox Decor pieces. You can purchase a bundle Here that includes a Turkey, Santa, Reindeer, Elf, Snowman, and a Nativity Scene. I made the Santa (SVG, Silhouette) and boy is he spectacular!

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

1. Cut out all the pieces from the desired pattern paper or cardstock. Be sure to scroll in Silhouette Studio to see all the pieces. There are 4 inserts, side panels, and a decorated front and back. We will assemble the side and back first Adhere your pattern paper panels to the cardstock back and sides.

2. Glue one side panel in place, adhering it to the tab with the four slits and then each tab working your way around to the other tab with four slits on the opposite side

3. Let’s assemble the front panel. We are going to start with Santa’s face. The white paper goes behind the black. That goes behind the flesh-colored face. Last, attach his eyebrows over each eye.

4. Adhere the black belt pieces on each side and the bottom of the beard. This allows you to fit the face piece in just so tucked under the mustache. Once the face is in there, go ahead and adhere the hat brim down along with the white pompom. Lastly, add the mustache.

5. We are ready to assemble the inside of the shadowbox. Take the back panel with the moon and start and slide the tabs through the slit in the back on each side. You want the hole in the back piece to be on the bottom.

 

6. Repeat with the other inserts.

7. Once the inserts are in place we can adhere the final side in place the same as the other side.

 

8. Adhere the front Santa panel to the front of the shadowbox. I did this a few tabs at a time. Then your Santa is ready for some lights or if you prefer you can leave it as is.

Snowglobe Shadow Box Card Deer

Hi friends! Today I am sharing another one of the Snowglobe Shadow Box Card. I loved the gingerbread house card so much that I made the Snowglobe Shadow Box Card Deer (SVG, Silhouette) this time. I gave this card a winter vibe and love all the blues with the deer. I used papers from the A Perfect Winter Collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and get a little crafting in. Thanks for stopping by today!

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!
