5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Trophy

Welcome to June.  It’s time to wrap up the Grads and onto the Dads.  Father’s Day is coming right up in the United States in 2 weeks.  I am now in the stage of life, where I have my Dad to celebrate, my husband, my son, and a son-in-law–all dads this year.  Good thing Lori has lots of Father’s Day card options.

My Dad makes all of us kids feel special.  He tells us each that we are his favorite, so this #1 card (SVG, Silhouette) seems fitting for a number one dad from his favorite daughter.

Check the shop for other Father’s Day cards like the ones in the Pop-up Bundle. Have a great week and hope you can make something fun this month.

Mason Jar Box

Hello! I love when my 2 worlds collide, canning and scrapbooking. I recently canned some green stuff (jalapeno mustard for pretzels) and I always love to be able to gift it and make it look cute. I recently came across these Mason Jar Box Half Pint (SVG, Silhouette). I decided to make a few of these for my yummy green stuff.

Mason Jar Box Half Pint

 

First I cut all my pieces and I did add a little piece of acetate behind the window.

I added my pattern paper to the box after I added the acetate to the inside of the window. I added score tape to the 2 flaps to assemble the box.

I folded in the 2nd large flap 1st.

The I folded in my 2 smaller flaps to make the box complete.

I then added my pattern paper to the lid portion. Make sure the curved side of the thin strips faces the outside edge. I also added score tape to the corner flaps.

Hopefully you will be able to gift some home made goods with this cute box. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

Baby Bottle Mini Album

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a fun baby bottle shaped mini album that I made using one of Lori’s brand new cutting files called Hidden Binding Mini Album Baby Bottle (SVG, Silhouette). It’s perfect for some favorite photos of your little sweetie, or … can be given it as a cute handmade gift.

 

You could use ANY paper collection and customize this album for a boy, a girl, or keep it gender neutral. For mine, I cut the base out of solid card stock in bubble blue, white, and lemon yellow. Then, I decorated it with a mix of pattern papers and embellishments from Doodlebug Design.

 

Just inside the cover, I added a little pocket that’s perfect for photos or … a gift card! I thought this mini album would make an adorable alternative to a greeting card and be a fun way to present a baby shower gift!

The album has 10 scrapbook pages (5 double-sided) and uses Lori’s hidden binding technique to secure the pages. It’s designed with plenty of space in between for layering papers, pop dots, and embellishments. 

This would make such a sweet little brag book for mom, grandma, auntie, or an older sibling. What a fun way to share and celebrate your baby’s milestones and memories. I made my album approx. 4×5 inches so it’s the perfect small size.

Lori has designed many of these cute hidden binding shaped albums and I love them all! I’ve made the oven, suitcase, rectangle, apple, house, flower, telephone, and tag shape. So be sure to check those out for more fun project ideas.

To watch a video tutorial on how to assembly a hidden binding mini album, hop over to Lori’s YouTube Channel here. 

I hope you’ll try Lori’s new Hidden Binding Mini Album Baby Bottle, and … have a great day! 😊

Mason Jar Pop Up Box Card

Happy Spring almost Summer Everyone!  I have a quick little card tutorial to share with you today using Lori’s new Echo Park Collection Firefly.  I simply adore everything about this collection, the patterns, the amazing details, the colors….it is all swoon worthy, you have to get it.  It is just so perfect for summer.  The card is one of her pop up box cards, that fold flat for mailing and then pop up and give a fabulous 3 d effect for your recipient.  You can find this card here in Lori’s Shop or here in The Silhouette Online Design Store.  I just love mason jars and this is just so cute.

First, cut and organize all your pieces.
I always ink all my edges, except the white.
Put your card base together, here I used papers from the 6×6 Firefly paper pad and card stock.  Your score lines will be a peak and a valley.
As you can see here, it fold to a 5×5 card base.
Next, make this piece.  Here I added some beautiful washi tape from the Firefly collection.  Love it!  Again you will have a peak and a valley for score lines.
You are only going to add adhesive on the two ends, and you can see where I wrote here and here.  Make sure no adhesive goes in the middle, otherwise your card won’t pop up.  My adhesive fits the first little panel and then from the second score line to the right.
Once you add this piece, you can see how the little pop up box is formed to add your remaining dimensional pieces.
Now just finish up the layers for these two pieces and add adhesive to the sides.  Add them in order, as Lori numbers them for you…1 & 2.
Press them firmly to the sides to create the pop up effect!
And there you have it!  The cutest little card popping with joy!  I love using all the fun embellishments form her collections to really create my own take on each of her cards.

 

Thank you for joining us today!

Box Card Flower Trunk Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Box Card Flower Trunk (SVG, Silhouette).  I used papers from the Day and Life collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also cut a few extra flowers to add to my card to give it a fuller look.

The body of the box card is in two parts that will be glued together. The tabs are all folded in a valley fold. First, I inked the edges of all of my pieces then glued the decorative panels to the outside of my trunk. I then assembled the flowers. All of the flowers have two layers. I then glued the flowers to the two inserts. Three of the flowers are on the front insert and two flowers on the back insert.

For the trunk I added glue to both tabs and made sure to line up the holes on both pieces so that the brads would be fit. I then glued the decorative corner pieces to the trunk and added the brads to all of the holes. Enamel dots would also be cute on the holes if you can’t find brads. After I had all the brads in place I glued the back decorative panel into the trunk.

Next, I folded the tabs on the inserts in a valley fold and added glue to the back of the tabs. Securing one tab at a time I lined up the edge of the tab with the top of the trunk and held it in place while the glue set. I was also careful to not glue the tab over the back of the brad. I repeat the process for the other side of the insert. With both tabs glued I fold the card flat to check that it will fold flat then repeat the process for the second insert.

With both inserts secure I glued the last flower and stem to the front of the trunk.  I then embellished my trunk with the additional flowers and two butterflies I fussy cut from the collection.

This card is so pretty and has several sentiments for the back of the card that are included in the file.

Thanks for stopping by today!
