Box Card Envelope Strawberries

Leave a comment

Happy Monday!! It’s almost strawberry picking time so what a better way to celebrate that then with a strawberry card?! I made the Box Card Envelope Strawberries card found HERE.

I used paper designed by Lori Whitlock and Echo Park called Strawberry Fields found HERE.

I used the swiss dots embossing folder on my berries and some enamel dots on some of the flowers.

I also used a tag from the Strawberry Fields Frames and Tags found HERE for my sentiment/greeting.

Hope you enjoyed this card and happy strawberry harvest!

3D Christmas Santa Bouquet Tutorial

Leave a comment
Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today! Today I am sharing a tutorial of the 3D Christmas Santa Bouquet (SVG). 
To start cut out all your pieces. I then embossed my santa suit using a Christmas embossing folder.

 

Glue all your panels in place. I valley folded the small piece of the envelope & applied glue to the tabs. I aligned it to the bottom & sides of the larger piece. This creates the pocket.
Now to create the mechanism.
Fold the little tab then fold the mechanism in half & glue the tab down.
For the easel leg glue the single tab to the back, then wrap the rest around going to the back & bringing it to the front glueing each tab. This is to make the easel leg sturdy.

Next valley fold both ends in so that it forms an X.

Now apply glue to the mechanism making sure you do not go past the fold on the easel leg.
Now place the glued mechanism on the inside of one of the pot panels making sure to align the leg to the bottom. It should sit a few millimeters beneath the top. Now glue the top part of the mechanism only & place the other pot panel on top. Hold down for a minute or so till it dries. Now glue the tabs to the inside.

Next take the larger foliage panel with Santa & turn it over. You want to apply glue on the back of the bottom square part. Now turn it over so you can see your front panels & gently slide it in between the back of your X. The glued square should be stuck onto the back pot panel. Now with the smaller foliage panel you will apply the glue onto the front side of bottom square. This time you will slide it into your X on the front folded part of the mechanism so that the glue adheres to the front pot panel.

To make your bouquet stand on its own gently squeeze the sides of the pot & fold in the leg of your mechanism. To fold flat place it back down again.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today! You can also buy the 3D Christmas Bouquet Bundle here, which also features 3D Christmas Tree Bouquet, (which I created here), and 3D Christmas Reindeer Bouquet.

Hello Sunshine!

Leave a comment

Happy Monday!

Sometimes the sweetest gifts are the simplest ones.  This cheerful little box of sunshine (SVG, Silhouette) is filled with bright yellow treats, refreshing drink mixes and a few happy extras to remind someone they are loved.  Whether you are celebrating a birthday, cheering up a friend, thanking a teacher or simply sending a little encouragement, this project is a fun way to spread a little sunshine.

The adorable smiling sun and sunny rays make this gift impossible not to smile at!  I used Lori’s Our Groovy Summer and with all the coordinating embellishments and it was perfect for all the finishing touches.  Fill it with all things yellow and surprise someone special.

Life is always a little brighter when you share a little sunshine!

A Basket Full of Strawberry Fields Forever

“Living is easy with eyes closed… “Well, maybe not when you’re trying to choose between all the adorable papers in Lori’s new Strawberry Fields collection!  From the sweet gingham patterns to cheerful strawberry prints, this collection instantly transported me to my own little version of Strawberry Fields.

I combined the Strawberry Fields Collection with two of Lori’s adorable files.  A charming berry basket that you can find here in the shop   and some little strawberry boxes that you can also find here in Lori’s Shop  Silhouette.  This project perfectly captures that carefree feeling of a sunny summer afternoon.

Start with your basket, this is really simple and comes together in seconds.  Cut, ink, fold, and adhesive and adhere together.  It is simplicity at it’s best.

 

Now for the strawberries, these were a bit tricky.  I think mostly because I scaled them down about 33% so that I could put quite a few in the basket.  I cut 7 strawberries and their tops.  I could do four different patterns at a time with the little 6×6 pad that comes in the collection.  You can see how they are cut here, then fold on score lines til you have the last shape on the bottom right.

 

 

So here we go with how to put these little cuties together.  I did have my hot glue gun out just in case I needed it.

 

1.  Start with a strawberry, fold along score lines…there is hole an all 6 tops for your brad.  Adhere the 1 st petal edge with the little flap to the 6th petal.

 

2. Insert a brad through one of the petals and begin shaping your strawberry…you simply pull each petal over the brad and practice patience here…lol, it took me a bit but I got it.  All six petals layer over that one little brad.

3.  Once you have all your petals overlapped, the strawberry begins to take shape into a little pouch or box. Open the brad prongs now and seal your little strawberry.

I glued my little tops on instead of messing and fighting with that little brad any longer.  The added buttons and twine to each one.  Adorable.

 

Now for the fun part.  Start embellishing your basket with all the fun elements from the collection.

 

The Beatles sang about Strawberry Fields Forever and while my version may be made from paper instead of growing in a garden, it has its own kind of magic.  Every fold, layer and embellishment are my escape to where creativity blooms.
Thanks for stopping by for my tutorial.
