5X7 4th Of July Balloons Card Tutorial

June 22, 2023June 21, 2023

The 4th of July is right around the corner. Lori has some new 4th of July projects in her shop. Today I’m going to share a tutorial for this card (SVG, Silhouette).

The front of the card can either be created by printing or using a sketch pen. Today I’m going to show the card using the sketch pen.

In Silhouette Studio open your file and ungroup the pieces. Place the front of the card on the mat. Click on Send, to open the Send panel.

Notice above, the cut lines are selected in red. Select the Line panel (available in some version of Studio).

Click on the box to select the No Color selection. And change the tool to Sketch.

Now we have the red lines set to cut and the no color set to sketch. We are ready to send to the machine.

Here you see the sketched lines. I think it looks so cute.

Now cut all the other pieces for the card.

I then used the front piece to lightly trace the balloon outlines onto the card base. This helps with placing the balloon pieces. Adhere all the balloon pieces to the card base.

Next, adhere the card front to the card base.

Also, adhere the white star middle pieces and the ribbon.

There is how to make this adorable 4th of July card. You can also sketch with Cricut software. Similar steps. Let us know if you sketch this card with your Cricut and share your projects.

Thanks for stopping by!

Father’s Day and the Box Card Cabin

June 12, 2023June 11, 2023

Anita here with a fun Father’s Day card for the active/outdoorsy type of dad. It is called Box Card Cabin (SVG, Silhouette). I used some of Lori’s Echo Park Paper collections including Let’s Go Anywhere, Here Comes the Sun and Halloween Party. There were more pieces to put on the front of the card but I decided to just use the one wood grain piece for the front of my house.

As always, the beauty of a box card is that it folds flat for mailing. Be sure to check out all of Lori’s wonderful SVG’s for Father’s Day.

Hugs,

Anita

Box Card Cherry Carton Tutorial

June 8, 2023June 8, 2023

Hi there friends! Have you seen all the new cherry themed projects in Loris’s store yet? So darling! Let’s make the new Box Card Cherry Carton (SVG, Silhouette-soon to be in the store!).

I used papers from the Down on the Farm Collection by Echo Park Paper Co. Once I had everything cut out, I inked the edge of the cherries, flower, and decorative panels. I then glued the all the panels and cherries in place. The first insert has four cherries, and the second insert has three. The two tabs on the ends of the box pieces are mountain folds and then glued together creating the box.

Now to add the inserts. The tabs are valley folds, and the glue is applied to the outside of the tab (the side that is going against the inside of the box card). I lined up the front of the tabs with the front of the inside of the box and the top of the tabs with the top of the box card.

Before the glue is dry, I fold the box card flat making sure it will fold flat all the way.

I use the same process for the second insert except I line the tabs up to the back of the first insert and the top of the box card.

Lastly, I glued the sentiment and the flower to the front of the card.

Now the card is ready to send! Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a cherry good day!

Hot Dog and Pop Shaped Cards

June 5, 2023June 4, 2023

Hello friends! Marcia here today. I love shaped cards. They are fun and easy to assemble too. With picnic season upon us I thought these two shaped cards; the No 10 Hot Dog Birthday Card (SVG, Silhouette) and the No 10 Pop Card (SVG, Silhouette) were just what a birthday boy and my Dad needed.

I used various Lori Whitlock solid papers from several different collections to create these cards. The print and cut feature of my Silhouette Cameo works great for printing the sentiments.

This Pop card originally had a birthday sentiment but I thought it would work just as great for Father’s Day. I just substituted my own font and text and then print and cut just as I did for the hot dog card sentiment.

These cut files can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of shaped cards. Check out the hamburger and french fries shaped cards. The hot dog card will fit in a 5×7 envelope and the Pop card will need a business envelope. Have fun creating!

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Explosion Dog House Box

June 1, 2023May 31, 2023

HI everyone! I’m sharing a fun, easy tutorial with you today with Lori’s Explosion Dog House Box. There are a lot of pieces, but it really goes together quickly and easily. I was done in no time at all. I used Lori’s Echo Park Pets Collection for my project today. Almost every pet is represented with this collection, soooooo cute and the colors are just too fun. You can also find this file here in the Silhouette Design Store.

I always start by cutting everything out, it’s easy as Lori has everything colored and easy to ungroup. After I get everything cut out, I organize my pieces and just start assembling them. I used scor-tape, scotch atg adhesive, glue dots and a glue pen to adhere the box.

Below are all my pieces, cut and sorted.

First, start with the lid, adhere the panels and add scor- tape to the little tabs. Fold on the score lines and assemble.

Next, score and add scor tape to the tabs for the inside dog house.

Adhere.

Now the same for your roof pieces. I changed up some colors, as you will see. These score lines and tabs are a bit smaller, so on this I used some mini glue dots and a glue pen.

Too cute!

Now onto the pockets for the inside of the box. Just fold on the score lines and add scor-tape. Adhere the pockets and add the inserts.

Next, I glued the four pockets to the base of the explosion box, for this I just used my Scotch atg gun.

Then assemble your little dog house and adhere the bottom the dog house to the box base with scor-tape.

Now you are ready for the fun part….just embellish and have fun. This collection is so happy, I found all the perfect embellishments and little details to make my heart smile.

Here’s the box all folded up!
