Double Gatefold Card Ladybug Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I hope you are all getting rested up from the Holidays!  I have a quick tutorial to share with you today that features Lori’s new Echo Park Collection Little Ladybug.  It’s just so fun, all kinds of darling patterned papers and makes us dream of Spring.  Especially, after our first blizzard of the season here in South Dakota, the day after Christmas.  Oh the Joy!
The file I used today is the Double Gatefold Ladybug Card or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.
First, cut your pieces with desired papers.
Next, fold in on each score line creating a double fold like this.
You can see here how your card will double open.
Ink the edges of your patterned papers.
And adhere to the cardstock base, add a few enamel dots to the antennas.
Then I just double layered a couple tags from the collection and added a few more enamel dots, and there you have it.  A quick and easy card.  I forgot to take a photo of the envelope, but the file also comes with an envelope that the card fits perfectly.
Who doesn’t love ladybugs?
Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Cards

 Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I have some holiday cards to share with you today. No, it’s not too late to make and send holiday cards! New Year is a holiday so for me, it’s ok to send a card after Christmas. I love to send holiday cards to friends and family as well as receive them. I especially love a box card that can sit on a tabletop or counter and doubles as home decor. This Hexagon Pop-Up Christmas Tree Booth With Reindeer Card (SVG, Silhouette)  and the Hexagon Pop-Up Santa’s Workshop Card (SVG, Silhouette) cut files can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of holiday cards. I used the new Echo Park Paper Have A Holly Jolly Christmas collection.

 

 

Stop by the Lori Whitlock YouTube channel for tutorial instructions on how to assemble the hexagon pop-up cards. Don’t worry about how you will mail it; these awesome cards fold flat for mailing.

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!!
