And check out this great tutorial by Corri!

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a quick assembly tutorial for Lori’s Record Card (SVG, Silhouette).   When you get everything cut out this is what you will have.

First, form the box shape and card base by folding along the score lines.  Next glue the box shape to the card base as shown below.

Next, apply glue on the glue tab and glue to the top portion of the card base.

This is what it looks like after you have formed the card base.

Finally, glue all the die cut in place.   Here is what the completed outside of the card will look like.

And here is the inside…

There you have it! This card is super cute and goes together very quickly.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thanksgiving Turkey Décor Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with a tutorial on this sweet little 3D Turkey 2 (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette). Is he not the cutest?!?! I made 2 of these guys…meet Tom Turkey and Timmy Turkey. I will be proudly displaying them on my dining room table this Thanksgiving!

Today I have a tutorial all set up if you are planning on making this little guy or guys for your Thanksgiving table. First thing is picking out the papers and fire up your paper cutting machine.
Cut out all of your pieces and get ready to assemble.
 Adhere all of the box together but NOT THE TOP PIECE.
The wings are next. Turn the box where the lid faces you, slide the wing tabs into the slits in the box and adhere the tabs to the inside.
Adhere together all of the pieces for the head. I used some pop dots on the back side of the hat for some dimension. Also, I used some black enamel dots for the eyes. Then fold on the perforated neck line backwards.
Next thing to do is slip the head tab into the slit in the top of the box and adhere it to the inside of the box. Then adhere the top of the box to the rest of it.
Now your turkey should look like this…
I also used some pop dots on the feet to make it look like they are somewhat sticking out.

Glue the tail to the back of the box and your Tom Turkey is complete and ready to adorn your Thanksgiving table!!
And we are done! I made a “baby” turkey too by downsizing the original file.  Like I said, are they just the cutest?!?! I know they aren’t the traditional colors but I really love the warm green tones against the orange!
Thanks for stopping by today! Wishing everyone a Thanksgiving full of love and thankfulness!

Box Card Christmas Sleigh Tutorial

 

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a fun and easy tutorial to make this adorable Box Card Christmas Sleigh.  You can find the SVG file for this card here in Lori’s store and  here in the Silhouette Design store.  I pieced it together using Lori’s Echo Park line called  A Lumberjack Christmas.

Here are the pieces that you will cut out to make your box card.  Just a note, if you are using two sided paper, then you are going to want to reverse the design of the sleigh part that is in the top left corner.  It goes inside your sleigh on the back piece and you will want it to be the color of your sleigh.

 

Start by gluing the Santa, Santa’s Bag and sleigh embellishments to their base pieces.

First you want to assemble the sleigh.  It is formed using the 2 sleigh shaped pieces and the rectangle piece.  Fold along all the score lines.  Attach the front of the sleigh (the longer piece with the snowflakes ) to the back of the sleigh using the tab.  Then add the rectangle to be the front of the sleigh and glue to both sides to complete your “box”.

 

You then want to add your inserts.  Fold the tabs on all the inserts backward, then add adhesive to the outside of the tab.  Slide them in in order…They are numbered along their glue tabs.  The number one (santa) goes in front.  Slide it in to the sleigh box towards the front of the sleigh, ( about 1/3 of the way into the box) and press the tabs to the sides of the sleigh to adhere.   Next, slide the Santa Bag tab in behind the santa tab about the same distance.  You want the inserts to be approximately equal distance from each other and the sides of the sled.  You are done and have a lovely card which folds flat for mailing.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita

Christmas Countdown Step Card Tutorial

Christmas will be here before we know it.  To help count the days, I created this fun little Christmas Countdown Step Card (SVG, Silhouette ) for Lori, and it was released this week!  It’s such a fun card… you can make one for yourself, or mail one off (I recommend a 5×7 padded envelope) to someone special!  I pieced this one together using A Lumberjack Christmas from Echo Park Paper.  I put together an assembly tutorial below.

For the base of this card, you want to make sure you are using a good at least 80lb cardstock so it will retain it’s shape.

  1.  Start by cutting out your pieces.  The numbers and “days” until were done using the print and cut function of my cutter.  If you need help with that, we have a tutorial for Silhouette here and Cricut here.  I pieced together the Santa, Tree, presents and mouse.  I added some enamel dots to my tree for “ornaments.”  In addition to the file pieces you will need a mini clothespin.
  2. Fold the card base into the step card.  This picture shows the folds.
  3. Add the decorative panels to the card as shown, then the “days until” piece.
  4. Fold the pocket piece and glue.  Adhere to the back of the card.  This pocket holds the extra day numbers when not in use.
  5. Glue the Santa and tree to their steps as shown.  Be sure to only add adhesive to the parts that will be glued to the steps, nothing above the step “peak.”
  6. Add the Christmas word and mouse with present to the bottom front.
  7. Add the mini clothespin to the top center of the “days until” piece.  Make sure it doesn’t stick up higher than the peak.
  8. To clip the numbers, overlap them a bit, and secure in the clip

Now you’re ready for the countdown!  If you make one of these, please be sure to tag Lori Whitlock on Facebook and Instagram.  We always love to see your creations!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
