Snowman Flexi Card Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I have a fun and quick little card tutorial for you today.  I haven’t made one of Lori’s Flexi cards in quite awhile and was scrolling through my library and came across this super cute one.  They are so easy to make, they fold flat for mailing and your recipient will love it.  You can find this file here In Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.  Or you can down get a whole bundle of fun Christmas, Christmas Flexi Bundle.  I did alter it a little bit.
Start by cutting all out your pieces out.
Ink your edges!
Adhere your pattern papers to the card base.
On this little piece adhere your patterned paper, and some scor tape.
This little tab slides under the white snow and tree piece.
Okay, here is where I altered it a bit….I just trimmed the snowman off and added a snowman doodlepop from Doodlebug.  He was too cute to resist.
The big tab slides in here

 

And the other tab slides in the other slot.  There you have it, an easy peasy little flexi  card.  It really just took minutes to create.

Have a great day!

Petal Fold Cookie Box Tutorial

Happy Thursday everyone!  I always try to have some cute little thing for my coworkers for the holidays and so I decided on these little cookie boxes. Today I’m going to show you how quick and easy they are to put together. First cut all your pieces. I used the Petal Fold Cookie Box file (SVG,Silhouette ).

Attach your patterned paper to the base.

Fold on all the scored line and add adhesive to these little tabs.

Once the tabs are glue in place, you will have a little box like this.

The file comes with a little “A Treat For You” tag but the I Love Fall Echo Park.Lori Whitlock paper I was using had this cute little tag that I had to use. I still added the green reinforcements to the hole.

Once complete, you fold the top in and add your tag with some ribon or bakers twine.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Hidden Binding Mini Album Apple or Pumpkin?

Happy Halloween! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a pumpkin shaped mini scrapbook that’s great for saving fall photos. I used one of Lori’s super fun cutting files called Hidden Binding Mini Album Apple (SVG, Silhouette). With some orange cardstock and pretty patterns, I turned it into an autumn themed pumpkin!

 

First, let’s take a look inside then I’ll explain how I made it with a tutorial below.

To create this, I cut the base out of solid cardstock and decorated it with the beautiful Echo Park, I Love Fall Collection designed by Lori. On the cover, I added a pretty 6×6 print (the small size is so cute!), a few enamel dots, an acorn brad, and the pumpkin farm sticker from the 12×12 elements sheet. 

 

The album has 5 pages (including the covers) and inside, I layered each one with a different pattern paper. Then, I added cute round photo mats using a 3″ scallop punch and a 2.5″ circle punch by Marvy Uchida.

 

I embellished the pages with stickers from the 12×12 sheet and the sticker book. For the smaller round photo mat on the right side, I used a 2″ scallop punch and a 1.75″ circle punch.

 

Above, I added a few more stickers, a brad, and on the right … I punched the round “thankful, grateful, blessed” circle out of one of the I Love Fall 4×6 journaling cards. I used the 2.5″ circle punch.

 

 

It’s such a pretty little album, right? Now let me show you how simple it is to make!

1. Cut the pieces out – I cut the binding pieces and 10 apple shapes out of apricot cardstock by Bazzill. Then, I cut 10 leaves out of the green I Love Fall paper and 10 stems out of the brown Fall Flowers pattern. 

2. Once those are cut, take the binding piece and fold it along the score lines.

 


3. You’ll end up with mountains and valleys like in the photo above. Add adhesive inside the valleys. 

 

 

4. Press the valley sides together to create the spine of the album.

 

 

5. Then, adhere the rectangular cover piece over the flat side of the folds.

 

6. Gather your page pieces and adhere the leaves and stems to the front of 5 left-side facing pumpkins and 5 right-side facing pumpkins. 

7. Now adhere the pumpkin pages to each of the accordion spine folds. Add one to the front and one to the back of each fold, matching the shapes back-to-back. This creates layered pages that are nice and sturdy.

 

8. Continue to adhere the rest of the pumpkin pages to each of the folds until the album is complete. Then it’s time to decorate!

 

 

When you’re finished, you’ll end up with a fabulous mini album that’s perfect for pictures of autumn, a pumpkin patch, fall leaves, and everyday memories. 

Lori has so many wonderful hidden binding mini album shapes. I’ve made the (haunted) house that’s perfect for Halloween, the flower, telephone, and the tag shape. I love these and they make the cutest gifts. She has even more designs in her shop, so be sure to check those out.

I hope you’ll try this fun project made with Lori’s Hidden Binding Mini Album Apple SVG file. Have a great day!

Shadow Box Card Scene – Fall Fox – Tutorial

Hey everyone!

I’m excited to share my latest creative adventure with you: a fun print and cut project! I know that for many people, the idea of print and cut can seem daunting. But let me assure you, it’s actually a lot easier than it looks!


Files: SILHOUETTE/SVG

When I first started, I was intimidated by the idea of aligning everything perfectly. I thought I’d end up with wonky cuts and wasted materials. However, after diving in, I found it to be incredibly easy!

Cutting the cardstock pieces:
I love to cut as many colors that I can on 1 mat, so I place more than one color on a mat.

Print:
After I sorted the printable items of my design, I printed it out on quality paper. The key here is to ensure your printer settings are correct for the best results. I used semi glossy photo paper.

Cut:
After printing, I loaded the paper into my cutting machine. so my machine could cut the images!

Putting the card together:
The card elements are super easy to piece together, as you can see in the photos below!
  

After you glued these parts together you can start to add the print and cut elements, and decorate the outside panels.

If you’re considering trying a print and cut project, here are a few tips to help you along the way:

Use Quality Materials: Good printer paper and ink can make a huge difference in the final result of the printed images.
Practice: Don’t be discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t go perfectly. Each project is a learning opportunity!

I truly enjoyed my print and cut project, and I can’t wait to make more. Remember, it’s all about having fun and experimenting with your creativity. So, if you’ve been hesitant to try print and cut, I encourage you to jump in! You might just surprise yourself with what you can create. And there are so many cute Print and cut projects in Lori her shop, go take a look!

Happy crafting!  Tamara
