Pillow Box with Curved Handle Tutorial

August 22, 2024August 21, 2024

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing a quick little treat idea for all the back to schoolers. I used the Pillow Box with Curved Handle (SVG, Silhouette) and the School Stickers (SVG, Silhouette).

Once I had everything uploaded to Cricut Design Space I resized the pillow box to 5.5×9.33. I wanted to be adle to fit two boxes on one sheet of 12×12 paper. I also flattened the sticker images and printed them out on plain white cardstock. For the tag I used one out of Cricut Design Space, but here is one from Lori’s site if you need one (SVG, Silhouette). I used papers from the School Rules collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

I cut four pillow boxes and two sets of the stickers. I also punched some tiny hearts. I layered up some of the stickers on the tags leaving room at the top for the recipient’s name. I used a liquid glue to attach everything because I didn’t use a sticker paper. For the box I pre folded the score lines as mountain folds. I then added glue to the inside of the box on just the handle.

After the glue was dry I folded in all of the side tabs.

I then used some bakers twine to attach the tags. I filled my boxes with a rice crispy treat and a little note for each kiddo.

This little pillow box is so versatile and great for any occasion all you need to do is change up the papers. Definitely worth having a few in the file library. Thanks for stopping by today and happy back to school!

USA Mini Album Tutorial

July 4, 2024July 3, 2024

Happy 4th of July! Traci here and I hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating with loved ones. Today, I have a new USA Mini Album to share with you that I created with one of Lori’s amazing cutting files. It captures the spirit of freedom and patriotism and it’s a great place to save your fun holiday photos.

First … let’s take a quick look through the album, then I’ll explain exactly how I made it’s cute cover so you can create one too!

I chose Lori’s cutting file called USA Accordion Fold Card for the cover’s design. I cut it out of white acrylic, but you could easily use white cardstock instead.

I decorated the album with the Echo Park, Stars and Stripes Forever Collection which was also designed by Lori. It’s fabulous! There are American flags, fireworks, stars, flowers, pinwheels, and balloons.

Inside, the album has 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that include 1 pocket, 2 fold-out pages, and 3 fun interactive flippies.

I used a mix of 12×12 and 6×6 pattern papers throughout the pages.

I added a pocket and some fun die cut pieces from the Ephemera and Frames & Tags.

I also added some stickers from the 12×12 Elements sheet. There are lots of great sayings, Uncle Sam’s hat (above), a red pick-up truck, a jar of flowers, cupcakes, and a scallop border.

Isn’t this Stars and Stripes Forever Collection that Lori created great?! I just love it.

Below is the cutting file I used to create the album’s cover. You can find the file here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Store.

And, here’s how I made it …

Step 1: Be sure to group both sets of USA letters together before resizing so that the insets will fit into the background after resizing. Once resized, ungroup the 2 sets of USA letters. Then you will need to delete the tiny score lines on the welded USA. To do this, right click and hit Release Compound Path (depending on your software you may need to hit make compound path first). Once you have the tiny score lines highlighted, delete them. Highlight the remaining pieces, right click and hit make compound path to set your welded USA cover correctly.

Step 2: Select both sets of letters, right click, and group them together again.

Step 3: Create a back cover for your album by selecting a rectangle under drawing tools. I sized my back cover to 8” x 5”. Once I had my back cover, I placed it behind my group of USA letters.

Step 4: Since I wanted my welded USA cover to be the same height as my back cover, I highlighted both sets and pulled the bottom curser down to stretch the cover to 5” high.

Step 5: Once I had my front and back covers the same size, I ungrouped the USA sets and cut everything out. Don’t forget to punch binding holes and make as many pages (sized like the back cover) as you want!

Lori has so many great SVG files to play with and I hope you’ll give this USA Accordion Fold Card a try. Have a safe and fun July 4th weekend and happy scrappin’ my friends!
