3-D Christmas Scene Explosion Box with Cathy

November 8, 2018November 7, 2018

Hi Everyone! Today I’m sharing a simple little explosion box that goes together in no time at all. This is Lori’s Christmas Scene Explosion Box available in SVG here or you can find it here in the Silhouette store. I used Lori’s new Echo Park Celebrate Christmas line to create this amazing little box! When I give it away, I think I will fill it with Hershey Christmas Kisses!

There are a lot of pieces to this file. But I just separate by color and then cut! Easy Peasy!

Here are some views of how the pieces fit together…

To finish, just fold up the remaining sides of the box and add the cover. When you lift the cover off, the sides explode out for a nice surprise! It really is a simple project…I had no problems putting it together. Just fold on your score lines and assemble! It goes together in a matter of minutes once you have your pieces cut!

Turkey Favor Box by Brigit

Hello there, now that Halloween is over I’m starting to plan for Thanksgiving. I thought this Turkey Favor Box from the November Kit of the Month from Lori’s shop would be perfect for the kiddies. It is also available as a stand-alone file in Lori’s Shop here.

You can get this box also at the Silhouette Design Store here. I used some of Doodlebug Design’s Petite Prints and a cute tag from Echo Park’s Celebrate Autumn chipboard phrases to piece it all together.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Fold and Tuck Lantern Tutorial with Michelle

November 1, 2018October 19, 2018

Can you believe that it’s November already? I love November! I love that I can craft Fall projects, as well as Holiday projects. Today I would like to share a tutorial for the Hexagon Fold and Tuck Lantern Found in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop as well as the Silhouette Design Store. It’s my first Holiday project of the season!

Hexagon Fold and Tuck Paper Christmas Lantern This is such a fun project. The lantern looks difficult, but it’s not. It is an easy project. Let me show you step by step, how to put it together.

Using your electronic cutting machine, cut all three paper elements. Double sided paper looks wonderful with this project since you will be seeing the underside.
Using the main large piece, the body of the lantern, carefully lift the chevron elements to a vertical position, as shown. I like to do one row at a time.
Take the last vertical chevron piece and tuck the arrow portion under the empty piece behind it as shown in the photo. Continue tucking the chevron arrows until you complete the row.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all rows are completed. Doesn’t that look awesome?
Fold along all score lines. There is a large glue tab at the end. Apply your adhesive along that tab and glue the ends together to form a tube. Sit the tube aside to dry completely.
Now you will form your lid. Fold along all score line. Apply a small dot of glue to one of the triangle tabs and glue it to the lip of the lid as shown. Continue gluing the triangles one at a time until the hexagon lid is formed. Sit the lid aside to dry completely.
Now it is time to attach the base to the bottom of the lantern. Fold along all score lines. Place the inside color up facing you. Working quickly, apply a bit of glue to all tabs.
Take the hexagon body tube and place it right over the base as shown from the top view.
Using a pencil or bone folder, make sure the tabs are securely attached to the inside of the base as shown.
Allow your lantern to dry completely before decorating.

Now that’s finished, you can have fun decorating it! Using hot glue, I added a tiny spray of pinecones and chipboard elements from the Echo Park Paper Celebrate Christmas collection. I also put a battery-operated LED light inside. It makes a beautiful display of light and shadows! Remember to never use a real candle. The paper will burn!

Thankful For You by Aimee

Hello paper crafty friends! Aimee here with you today and bringing you some more Autumn paper goodies. I can never get enough of Fall or the new Celebrate Autumn collection by Echo Park.

Today I am showcasing a couple of Lori’s older svg files and they turned out so fabulous made with Celebrate Autumn! This one here is called Shadow Box Card Scene Squirrel. These cards are so much fun to put together and came together quickly! Best thing is they fold flat for easy mailing. You can get this little beauty at the Lori Whitlock Shop or at the Silhouette Design Store.

The next piece of my project is this little cutie. This is the 3D Acorn Box that you can find at the Lori Whitlock Stop or at the Silhouette Design Store. The top piece lifts off and can be filled with small yummies. I decorated it by adding a bow, sequins, enamel dots, and a couple of die cuts from the Celebrate Autumn collection.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Autumn Days! Thanks for stopping by today!!

Halloween Fun with Cathy

October 8, 2018October 7, 2018

I love Halloween paper crafting, I can simply never get enough and it’s so easy to create little treat boxes for all your favorite ghouls with all the choices you have from Lori. There are tons of boxes and bags at her shop or at the Silhouette online Design Store. I used an older Halloween Collection for Echo Park today for my projects.

First up two little treat boxes, easy peasy and go together in a matter of seconds once you have them cut out on your machine. I used the 2 favor boxes on 12×12 at Silhouette and the ribbon tie bracket favor box silhouette version or ribbon tie bracket favor box at Lori’s Shop.
