Floating Easel Card Sunflower Tutorial

Happy Thursday everyone! Today I am bringing you a tutorial for this fun floating easel card with a sunflower. (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette)

As always, cut all your pieces and have your supplies ready. You will need fishing line for this card.

I folded my 2 pieces on the score marks.

Then added the patterned paper to the base.

I assembled my sentiment and added dimentionals before centering it onto the base.

Assemble your flowers by offsetting the 2 colors of the flower. I also embossed my centers for a little extra texture. You will need to attach the backs of your 2 flowers with your fishing line between the 2 flowers (my fishing line is yellow for you to see better).

Add your circle piece of patterned paper on top followed by your 1st circle border. Attach your fishing line to the top of the circle border left to right. Trim your fishing line so it does not go past the circle border. Add the 2nd circle border over top of the 1st.

When the card is done, the flower will be hanging within the circle.

And when the easel is in place, it is a cute little floating sunflower.

It even swings like the video below.

I’d love to see if you make one of these fun cards. Until then, thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Buzzing with Kindness

Spring seems to be just around the corner…I am sure there is more winter to come here in South Dakota…but I am remaining hopeful.  And with Spring just around the corner, it’s time to think about gardening and bees.  So I broke out Lori’s Bee Happy collection.  This is such a fun collection, and it’s perfect for Spring and Summer.

First, I used Lori’s A2 Honey Card.  Silhouette Just the cutest little shaped card.

And next Lori’s Beehive Box Card.  SVG I love to make both styles of these cards.  Always my favorite and I get to use lots of embellishments from the collection.
Here’s hoping Spring is on the way and that the bees visit my garden

Let’s Make an Easter Basket!

 

Hi everybody, it’s Holly! Today, I’m excited to share a fun “easy diy” project perfect for spring. This “Easter craft” tutorial shows you how to create an adorable hexagon Easter basket using a file from Lori Whitlock. It’s a great “do it yourself” “craft idea” that results in a lovely “handmade basket” for your holiday celebrations! The paper collection I used “Easter Basket” is also by Lori Whitlock. The beautiful pastel colors in the collection will make you SMILE!

Bone-A-Fide Birthday Bash Box

 I have a fun little project to share with you today, Birthday Explosion Box to celebrate my Cash’s Birthday.  I’ll get photos printed this week and add them to the tags in the box.  Lori has a brand new Party Animal Collection from Echo Park.  This is such a sweet line for Birthday’s of our precious pups.  Perfect colors and the cutest embellishments.

You can find the file here in Lori’s Shop and here in The Silhouette Design Store.  It is a really easy project to put together and it has WOW results.

 

 

Here is the Birthday Boy! He turned 5 just a few days ago.

 

We celebrated with a walk and a hamburger!

 

 

So I’ll walk you through a quick tutorial.  First, start by cutting out all your pieces and ink all the edges.
Next, fold your box shape and the score lines.
Easy peasy, put the lid of the box together.
Fold and glue your library pockets. There are four!
Add eyelets if you wish to your tags.
Then simply adhere the pockets with the tags to the inside of your box.

 

 

Now for the cake.  I used liquid glue to adhere these.  This little cake is a box, so you could add little trinkets or a little gift for the recipient. I’m not sure what I will put in there for Cash.
Make both the top and bottom pieces the same way.  Fold all the little tabs inward and adhere the ends together, as shown in step two.  There are two circles for each box, on the brown piece, one fits in the inside and the other on the bottom.  This makes a nice clean finish for the bottom of the cake.
Do exactly the same with the lid.  Lori’s file has a sweet little candle but I love to use embellishments from the line on my projects, so I picked a couple of candle stickers and placed them back to back.
Now adhere the box in the center of the box or you could just add it and your recipient can take it out.
That’s it, now fold up your box and put the lid on.
Of course, this is where the fun really begins.  You get to embellish and make it your own!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love this so much!

 

And this sweet little tag…sit, stay and CELEBRATE!

 

Thanks for joining us today and I hope you check all of Lori’s Explosion Boxes!

Easter Basket Boxes

Hello there! Today I am  moving on from Valentine’s Day and on to Easter. I am looking forward to bunnies and chicks!

For my projects today I played with the new Lori Whitlock Easter Basket Collection!

I cut several of Lori’s boxes and added all the fun Easter Basket elements. I spent an evening with my little Sidekick die cutter and die cut my self silly. When I am doing this, I put on a good movie and cut a bunch of pieces out of the different colors and just sort of mix and match away-always sure to have extra pieces because I tend to lose tiny pieces! I had fun adding the sticker elements to the finished boxes as a little extra special touch. Everything was just so fun! 

I die cut 3 baskets and lots of fun little eggs and flowers/leaves in all the different colors included in the new collection. I did cut out some grass from this file to use at the base of the boxes. I removed the scoring lines from the grass piece to cut one long strip and trimmed  pieces to fit each box at the base. As for the boxes themselves, I like to add a little extra matting to allow the patterned paper to pop a bit more. To do that, I open the offset panel and chose offset, distance of .050 and the square corner. In these projects I used white for the extra matting pieces.

***This tip will help you with these tiny dies.  I used washi tape to adhere the tiny dies on to my paper. I poked out the cut pieces but left the dies taped on to the paper. You can just put these on top of your next paper each time. Just keep the dies in place with the washi tape and store them that way as well. You won’t lose those tiny eyes or rosy cheeks that way!
