Christmas Mini Album

Hi Friends! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas that was warm and safe! Today I am sharing one of the mini albums from the Fabulous Mini Album Bundle (SVG, Silhouette). I haven’t made a December daily album for a few years because they are always so much work and I never seem to be done. So, I decided to scale it down a lot and just make a mini album. Less work, less pressure, but still so fun and cute! I just need to add my pictures and journaling.

 
All of the papers, stickers, and embellishments are from The Magic of Christmas collection by Echo Park Paper Co.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Oh Deer, It’s Christmas Again

Hi everyone!  I have a fun card to share with you today, you can find the file here in Lori’s Shop or here in Silhouette Online Design Store.  It is Lori’s Reindeer Pop dot card.  Is he not the cutest?  There are a 6 different Christmas themed pop dot cards in Lori’s shop but I just fell in love with this little guy.  The card went together in no time and turned out so cute. The little tag is from Lori’s Echo Park The Magic Of Christmas Collection .

I hope you find time to create this week and give these cute pop dot cards a try!

3D Pumpkin Pie Tutorial

Hi Everyone,

I can’t believe that it is the week before Thanksgiving!  Today I have a tutorial showing how I assembled Lori’s 3D Pumpkin Pie (SVG, Silhouette).  I’m going to fill them with chocolates and put my pie on the dessert table on Thanksgiving.    To piece mine together, I used a few of Lori’s Echo Park Paper collections including  A Slice of Summer, Let’s Go Anywhere, All About a Girl and  Halloween Party.  This file is also a part of the November Kit of the Month in Lori’s SVG shop.  It’s a great bundle, be sure to check it out!

These are the pieces that come with the file, they make 2 slices.  If you want to make a full pie, you will need to cut enough for 8 slices.   I used some acetate for the hearts on the pumpkin pie box and some white and cream hearts for the other types of pie.

I glued the acetate or solid color heart onto the box’s top before I glued it together.  To assemble the tops and bottoms, fold all score lines in the same direction, shape into the triangle slice and glue the sides using the tabs.  Glue the pie crust piece onto the outer edge of the pie’s cover.

This photo shows the three box pieces ready for the pie crust to be glued onto the end of the pie.

Here is a side view of the pumpkin pie box assembled and ready for treats.

I like pumpkin pie but also like other kinds!  I decided to make blueberry, cherry, lemon and chocolate cream slices!  The sky is the limit for what kind of pie you want to make.

Hugs,

Anita

 

Christmas Shaker Card Tutorial

Hello everyone and Happy National Button Day! Traci here and yep … there’s actually a day that celebrates these little fasteners. I wanted to incorporate them into my project and I knew Lori would have something wonderful. I found a cutting file for an embellishment called Shaker Mason Jar and I turned it into a cute holiday card. Here’s a quick tutorial on how I made it …

For supplies, I used the Shaker Mason Jar cutting file (SVG, Silhouette) and Echo Park’s beautiful holiday collection called Magic of Christmas (also designed by Lori). I used the 6×6 paper, the 12×12 sticker sheet, white card stock, buttons and twine.

To create the A2 size card, I cut out a piece of white card stock measuring 8.5”x 5.5” and scored it at 4.25”.  

Then using the file and my Silhouette Cameo machine, I cut out all the other pieces. I chose the red snowflake print called Poinsettias & Pine for the jar and the green dot from the 3×4 journaling cards for the lid.

To make the shaker part, I cut out the ovals and glued them together until I had enough to make a frame thick enough to allow my buttons to move around.

I sandwiched a piece of 2.5” x 3.25” clear acetate in between my white jar base and the red inset piece I cut from the 6×6 paper.

I glued the oval frame to the back of the jar pieces, added my buttons, then glued the solid white oval piece on top to keep the buttons in.

Next, I took my white card base and layered 2 sheets of 6×6 paper in dark green and stripe on top and added the jar shaped shaker. I wrapped the lid with chunky red twine and included a cute sentiment sticker to finish it off. It’s the perfect card for someone special and I just love it! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ll visit Lori’s shop for more amazing craft ideas!

Something Sweet for your Coffin Break!

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s 2 Compartment Coffin Treat Box (SVG, Silhouette).  This cute box features a handle and 2 compartments. Perfect for housing treats for this Halloween. I used my Silhouette Cameo 4 to cut the pieces for the 2 Compartment Coffin Treat Box. It took four pieces of 12×12 cardstock for the project, three black and one piece of patterned paper. The patterned paper was from Lori’s Halloween Magic collection by Echo Park Paper Co.  Once all of the pieces were cut, I inked the edges of the patterned paper using Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink.  Next, I used my tape gun to adhere the patterned pieces to the top of the coffin as shown below.  Fold tabs in to form the top of the coffin. 

Next, I built the two sides of the coffin.  First, add adhesive to the tabs, and then folder the tabs in to create half of the coffin.
Once you have both sides of the coffin built, add adhesive to the flat side of one. Line the two pieces up, and adhere them together to form the coffin base. Once that is finished, you will adhere the small black rectangles to the front and back of the coffin to hide the seams.
 
You can add stickers or other embellishments to the top of the coffin to give it a little more flair. I used stickers from Lori’s Halloween Magic collection. Once you are done decorating, the 2 Compartment Coffin Treat Box is ready to fill up with yummy treats.
Until next time, Michelle, aka the Bookish Designer
