Sweet A2 Snowman Card

Welcome everyone, I hope the New Year is treating you well and you are creating away in your little scrap spaces.  I just have a sweet, little winter card to share with you, it’s Lori’s  A2 Snowman 3 card  or here in the Silhouette Design Store. I guess she’s a snow woman in all the cute pinks from the paper collection.   I adore Lori’s new Echo Park Collection Winter Fun. I love all the soft colors and adorable little details.  You really need this collection in you winter scrap stash collection.

Stay warm and thanks for joining us!

Cookies For Santa Layout

And the countdown to Christmas is on! Who’s ready? NOT ME!! But I did take a great cookie decorating class recently to have some cute Christmas cookies and what a better way to show everyone the cookies than creating a layout!

I used the Echo Park Paper line that Lori designed called Santa Claus found HERE.

I used 3D Cookies For Santa SVG from Lori’s website found HERE. But instead of making it a card, I added a background to the words and used it as a title. I cut one of the cookies and turned it into a shaker piece for one of my embelishments.  The rest of my embelishments were sickers and chipboard pieces from the paper collection.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Shaped Shadow Box Card Polar Bear Tutorial

 Happy Holidays everyone!  I have a quick and easy little shadow box to share with you.  It’s Lori’s Shaped Shadow Box Polar Bear.  This is the sweetest little bear.  I created this with just some card stock and Lori’s new Echo Park Winter Fun collection.  This little shadow box goes together like Lori’s box card envelope cards.  So super duper easy.

You can find the file here in the Silhouette Design Store, also.

First, start with cutting out all your pieces.

Then I put together his little face.
Then add your tree cutout to the back layer.
Flip over the two layer pieces and add double sided adhesive on each piece.
Also, add the blue snow piece to the very back of the box.  Adhere the two pieces together to form your box and then next add the tree layer, then to the village scene.
Then you get the sweetest little shadow box….I just finished it with all the darling elements from the Winter Fun collection.  He’s just adorable!  I can’t wait to make more.
Thanks for joining us today!

Miniature Christmas House Craft

Hi there friends!

Today I am sharing a cute snow globe craft I put together with the Miniature Christmas House for Snowglobe (SVG, Silhouette). This project is perfect for a kid’s craft. It uses very few supplies, comes together quick and is very lightweight.  It also makes a darling Christmas or Winter decoration. I used papers and stickers from the Winter Fun collection by Echo Park Paper. I found the DIY snow globe and fake snow at the dollar store a few years ago but they are also available on Amazon.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy crafting!

Big Box Card Basket Sunflowers

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the Big Box Card Basket Sunflower card (SVG, Silhouette). This basket is much larger than a standard box but still folds flat for easy storing. These basket cards are perfect for a cute display or gift to brighten someone’s day. I used papers from the Farmers Market collection by Echo Park Paper.

This basket has two separate box pieces and three inserts. For my flowers, I used an embossing folder to give the middle of my flowers some more interest. I also inked the edges of the flowers and leaves to add dimension. I also shaped the flower petals to help give the flowers some added volume. For the box I folded all of the score lines into mountain folds and added the decorative panels to each side of the outside of the box. I then glued the two box panels together at the tabs.
Moving on to the inserts; Insert number one has two sunflowers. I glued one small sunflower and one medium sized sunflower and shaped the leaves a little. Insert number two is the basket handle and has two decorative panels that I glued into place. The third insert has three sunflowers; I used two small sunflowers and one medium sunflower then shaped the leaves on this insert as well. I also glued the basket all together forming the box shape.
Next, I glued the inserts into the basket. I folded the tabs into valley folds and added glue to the back side of the tab. I made sure to line up the insert with the top edge of the basket and bumped the front edge of the tab to the inside front of the basket on both sides. Before the glue is set I also folded the basket flat to make sure it would lay flat for storage.
I then repeated the steps for the remaining inserts but lining up the tabs to the insert in front of it instead of the basket front.
To finish the sunflower basket, I glued one of the large flowers to the front of the basket and the last flower I glued to the handle insert. I also added a sticker from the collection.
I love how this project turned out. Thanks for stopping by today!
