Bible Study Journal Tutorial

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a bible study journal that I made for my father.  He has not been able to go to bible study for various reasons over the last several months and is eager to get  back.  I made him this journal so that he could take it with him to make notes.  I used the SVG cut file from Lori’s shop that is called Pray Hardest and you can find that file here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I also used the file called 3 Christian crosses which you can also find here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  For papers, I used Lori’s Echo Park Paper collection, All Boy.

Here is a photo of the materials that I used for making this journal.

I measured the journal cover and it measured 7.5″ X 9.75″ so I cut my front and back cardstock to that size.  I decided that I wanted the spine cover to be 2″ wide so I cut that by the 9.75″ length as well.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to create this project and did resize it once I measured the size that I would have available to decorate on the front of the journal.  I resized it to 8.250″ X 6.767″.  I used a wet adhesive on the covers because then I would be able to move the paper around until it was perfect.  I then opened the journal and trimmed with small scissors around the rounded edges of the covers.

For the pen I took the end of the pen off and took out the ink shaft.  I then measured the length that would be able to be seen when the  pen was together.  I cut my paper 1″ X 3″ and rolled it around a paint brush handle.  You basically just need to get it started rolling in a circle.  I then slid it into the pen shaft, put the ball point ink shaft back into the pen and screwed back on the end cap and my pen was done.  I used 2/5″ diameter adhesive dots to adhere the pen to the spine of the journal.

I hope that it brings a smile to his face when he sees his new bible study journal.

Hugs,

Anita

Cookie Box

Welcome to the first Monday in July! Ashley here, and I am so excited to share this Cookie Box (SVG, Silhouette) with you today.  Do you ever want to give a little something to make someone’s day brighter?  One of my favorite treats are the special cookies that several companies local to me sell.  And now there is a Cookie Box that can hold them.

This box is a great size.  It is a 4.5 inches square and 2 inches high. It is best to adhere the decorative panels to the box top before you glue the glue tabs. You can fill the box with a cookie or another treat and deliver some cheer to someone. Enjoy the week.

Have a great day!

Fireworks Display

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a tutorial for a cute 4th of July Fireworks Display (SVG, Silhouette) These fireworks are so fun and simple to make. They can be added to a vase, mason jar, or even a fake potted plant like I did here.

First fold all of the score lines as mountain folds (away from you). Then glue the decorative panels in place. (I glued the long side tab first and then glued the decorative panels which made this step a little harder for myself.) Glue the long side tab creating a octogon shaped tube. Working from left to right glue the top tabs together until you have two tabs left. The last two tabs can be glued together at the same time. Pinch the top points together then flip the firework over and use a pencil or paint brush handle to secure the tabs on the inside of the firework.

Now its time to embellish the firework, curl the tails, then using hot glue add a paper straw or bamboo skewer to the inside of the firework.

I resized the firework and made two smaller ones. The paper collection I used is America by Echo Park Paper Company.

That’s it for me today. Thanks for stopping by!

Sailboat Box Card

Hello crafty friends! Aimee with you today and bringing you this adorable little sailboat card. This is the new Box Card Sailboat (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette Design).

It looks great in the red, white, and blue colors but I thought I’d go a different route and use the new America collection by Lori. I love the red, white, blue, light blue, and wood!! The smaller patterns from the 6×6 pad were the perfect size for my card.
This sweet little sailboat card can easily be folded to fit inside of an envelope for mailing but I think it will be perfect to set out with all of my 4th of July decor in my house.
Thanks for stopping by today!
