Fall Gable Boxes

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here today to share some Fall goodies! I am so excited…Fall has begun!! So today I am sharing the 3D No Glue Tapered Side Gable Box (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette Store) and how adorable it looks all decorated with the new My Favorite Fall collection.

These little boxes were easily put together and so much fun to decorate! There is just enough room on the front panel to add a sweet little animal chipboard piece, tag, and some enamel dots to make these boxes look inviting to open and reveal the Fall goodies you’ve placed inside!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful Fall season so far!!

Pillar Sign Tutorial

Hi Everyone!  Corri here today with a quick assembly tutorial for the new Pillar Sign 4 x 4 (Silhouette, SVG).  This little sign is so cute and could be used for so many things!  You could use it for a buffet to mark the names of the food items, as part of your home decor or for a birthday party.

When you cut the sign you end up with these pieces plus some rectangles to cover the background if you choose.  I did not use those on my sign.

After you have the sign pieces cut, fold everything along the score lines.

Next, begin to apply glue to the glue tabs one section at a time.  Allow time for the glue to dry before moving on to the next set of tabs.

Continue gluing all the tabs in place until you have formed the pillar, sign background and top.

Next, glue the three pieces together and add your sign.  I trimmed one of the 4 x 4 cards from the Lori’s My Favorite Fall Collection from Echo Park.

This turned out so cute and was fun to put together!  There are so many uses for this project.  Head over to Lori’s Shop to see the other sizes!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Halloween Lantern

Hi there crafty friends! I hope your week is off to a great start this Monday. It is FINALLY starting to cool off a bit where I live so I’m in the mood for all the Fall and Halloween crafts. I have been wanting to make these lanterns for a while now and just love the Halloween twist I gave them!

I used the 2 on 12×12 Butterfly Lantern (SVG, Silhouette), Rolled Flower 24 (SVG, Silhouette), and Rolled Flower 32 (SVG, Silhouette). The leaves are the Autumn Branches metal dies from My Favorite Fall Collection by Echo Park.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get some Fall crafting in this week as well!

Fall Decorated Gift Bag

Happy Monday everyone!  If you haven’t looked recently, Lori has created a number of new box & bag cut files.  I love these files because they can be decorated for any occasion!  I made the new Gift Bag with Magnet Velcro Handle (SVG, Silhouette) to hold a gift card for a friend.  I decorated it with one of the new flowers, Rolled Flower 48 (SVG, Silhouette) for a fun fall look.

I love how the flower looks like a fall chrysanthemum!  I used Echo Park’s My Favorite Fall Collection to piece this all together.  For more gift packaging ideas, check out the new Bag Box and Gift Card Holder Bundle in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!

All of these files are also available individually in Lori’s SVG Shop and in the Silhouette Store.  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Fall Treat Bags Tutorial

Hello friends! Aimee here with you today to share a tutorial on one of the fabulous new box files that Lori has created for us! This is the Gift Bag with Handle Scalloped (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette Store) and I am going to show you how to add a front panel so that the treats show through. And since Fall is just around the corner I added a couple of Autumn icons from the Fall Icons set 2 (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette Store). So if you’re ready…let’s get to crafting some Fall gift bags!

Open the Gift Bag with Handle Scalloped file…

and add the Fall Icon set. I only used the pumpkin and leaf so I deleted the others but the other 2 could easily be used as long as you’re only adding the base layer.

At this point,  place the icon and the scalloped handle on the front panel of the bag. You can size and arrange the icon you’ve chosen. With the handle in place, it gives you an idea of what size your icon should be.

Now that you have you’re icon placed and sized, slide the handle to the top. Click on the bag and ungroup the bag from the cut lines. This is a very important step! If this step is missed, it will turn the dotted cut lines into solid cut lines which will give you a bunch of strips of paper instead of a bag.

Next,  click on the icon and while holding the shift button, click on the bag and click on “make compound path”. It will make your bag clear but it still cuts the same. Now you will want to click on the bag and the cut lines and group them together. Now you are ready to cut.

Run your papers through your paper cutting machine. Now let’s get to putting the box together.

Adhere a piece of acetate over the icon space

Place your adhesive on the top panel of the bag and fold it down on itself

Now adhere the bag together

And adhere the scalloped handles to the front and back of the bag.

And decorate them! There are so many possibilities! I used My Favorite Fall collection to make and decorate my bags. All that’s left to do is add a sweet treat to give to some you are grateful for!

That’s all from me today! I hope this provides some great inspiration for your Fall projects!
