Fall Extreme Pop-up Card

As a young girl, I fell in love with origami. From folding paper, it was natural to love pop-up cards and books.  I just love that Lori has these fun Pop-Up Cards in her shop. I made the Fall pop-up card, and I changed the sentiment to be used as a Thank You Card.

The card file can be found in Lori’s SVG Shop and in the Silhouette Design Store.

For papers, I used the Echo Park’s My Favorite Fall Collection designed by Lori.  The inside pop-up part is done using the Print and Cut function of your cutting machine. Once cut, it all comes together easily.  For a tutorial head over to Lori’s YouTube Channel here.

Have a great day!

3D Pumpkin Tutorial

If you’re like me, you like to decorate your house for ALL THE HOLIDAYS!  Lori’s 3D Pumpkins would be so fun placed throughout your home or group several on your table for a fun centerpiece. They come in three sizes, Short (SVG, Silhouette), Medium (SVG, Silhouette), and Tall (SVG, Silhouette). These are boxes as well, so they would make a great hostess gift with some candy inside.  I used Lori’s My Favorite Fall Paper Collection to make these pumpkins. I just love all the colors and patterns in this paper! Shown here are the 3D Pumpkin Medium and 3D Pumpkin Tall.  How fun are these?!

I’m using the 3D Pumpkin Medium for this tutorial.  First cut out all the pieces as shown.

To begin, assemble the base of the pumpkin by folding all score lines in.

Glue side tab to opposite side of base.

Add glue to bottom tabs…

and fold bottom of base onto tabs as shown.

Use your bone folder to curve the side panels of the pumpkin.  This will help give your pumpkin its curved shape.  For added interest, I sewed tulle to three of the side panels, added sequins and then sewed the bottom shut.

Next, glue the square end of the panels to the top of the pumpkin box.

Then glue the beveled tabs to the bottom of the pumpkin box.

Glue the hexagon piece to the pumpkin bottom to finish it off.

Next, fold all tabs on the pumpkin lid in, and adhere each tab to the panel next to it until the lid is formed.  Also, the leaves are very pretty as is, but for added interest you can drawn in or sew leaf veins.

Next, fold all tabs on stem inward and glue the tabs on the right to the middle tabs…

and repeat on the left side.

Add leaves and stem through the holes in the top of the lid…

and glue the vine to the top.

Turn lid over, fold leaves and stem tabs and glue down.

Next glue hexagon panel to inside of the lid to finish it off.

And we’re done!!!  Isn’t this beautiful?!

I had so much fun making these for my table centerpiece.  I filled them with caramels and they will be given out at the end of Thanksgiving as parting gifts for my friends and family. I hope you give this a try.

Thank you for stopping by!

Pumpkin Spice 3D Coffee Cup

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing my version of Lori’s adorable new 3D Coffee Cup (SVG, Silhouette).    I love coffee, so I fell in love with this file as soon as I saw it.  This would be perfect for giving a gift card to a local coffee shop.    I used paper and ephemera Echo Park’s  “My Favorite Fall” collection.

I added a cute sentiment perfect for all the pumpkin spice fans out there.  There are so many fun puns that could go with this cute cup.  I just love it and I know I will be making this often!

Have a great day!

Halloween Favor Box Coffin Tutorial

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a quick tutorial for the Halloween Favor Box Coffin (SVG, Silhouette). I needed another cute Halloween treat and was inspired by Michelle’s coffins a few weeks ago.

I cut the coffin lid, coffin base, and skull head  from 80lbs cardstock and the decorative panels are cardstock from the Echo Park Bewitched Collection. I then folded all of the score lines in a valley fold.

I added glue to the tab on the end then adhered the tad to the opposite end with the tab on the inside of the coffin. For the bottom of the coffin I glued one tab at a time making sure to line my edges up. I started with the top (1) tab of the coffin and moved from side to side gluing the tabs until the bottom tab (6) was last. I then flipped the tab up and added glue to adhere the base to the edges. Once all of the tabs where secure I added more glue to inside of the coffin and added the second base to cover the glue and tabs. I then repeated the steps with the lid of the coffin.

After the lid was complete I added my decorative panels and glued the two skull pieces together.

To embellish I added a crepe paper rosette, sequins, and a few tickers from the Bewitched collection.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired by all of the projects here and have fun visiting with us!

It’s a beautiful Fall here in Michigan and I am enjoying every aspect of the gorgeous new place I live.  Lori’s My Favorite Fall collection from Echo Park is just simply perfect, all the pretty colors and Fall elements you need to create with this season.  I needed a fun way to give a gift card and Lori had the perfect new file to create the sweetest little gift card box.  The box is just simply adorable.  You can find the file for the Gift Card Holder here in Silhouette or here in Lori’s SVG shop.  Very quick and easy to put together.  There are just tons of elements to My Favorite Fall and I had so much fun with the new puffy stickers.  They are just too cute.  All the new Echo Park collections have these Puffy Stickers…hooray!

I forgot to take a picture that shows a gift card inside, but you can see just where it goes and then how fun to decorate underneath so that the recipient has a extra little bit of your creativity.  This little box is so versatile that you will be able to adapt and change it for every theme.  A quick and easy project that you will use time and time again.
