State Heart Dingbat Tutorial

Today I’m going to show you a fun way to use Lori’s State Dingbat Font (Silhouette Store) for a baby body suit.  Start by opening Silhouette Studio and typing a letter using the font.  Most of the States will be their first letter, either lowercase or capital.

You can see in the above image the state of Utah on the mat, in the font the states and hearts have a double line.  To delete this select your state, right mouse click and then select ungroup, and then release compound path.  Now you can delete one of the outlines of the state and heart.

Now resize for the project.  I made the heart a little bit smaller for my project.  For my words  I used another of Lori’s fonts–Longhand, Silhouette Store.  I typed the words “made in” and welded them together and resized.  The design is ready to cut.

Since I used Heat Transfer Vinyl,I cut the mirror image and then applied it to the bodysuit.

 

This is such a fun personalized gift to give new babies. Enjoy!

Box Card Valentine Camera

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing one of the new Valentine’s Day box cards.   I love cameras so I was super excited to see this new Box Card BoValentine Camera (Silhouette, SVG) in the shop this week.

When you cut the file you will end up with these pieces:

Once you have everything cut, glue all the pieces to form the the “layers” of the camera.  Next form the box by folding on the score lines, applying glue to the tabs and forming the box.

Apply glue to the tabs on the layers with hearts slide into camera “box” towards the back and press tabs to sides to glue into place.

Add the insert with the camera viewer in the center in the same manner then add the circle heart insert towards the front.

This little camera is so cute and folds flat for mailing!  Be sure to stop by the shop to see all the other new box cards!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

3D Round Cup Photo Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Michelle Zerull here with you today to share a photo tutorial for a fun project that I know you’re going to love. It’s the 3D Coffee Cup Round (SVG, Silhouette) file. It’s easy to put together and can be customized for any occasion. I used the Little Lumberjack Collection from Echo Park Paper top make a cute Valentine’s box for my guy.

Instructions:

  1. Using your digital cutting machine, cut out all of the pieces included in your SVG file.
  2.  Form the large dark piece into a cone shape. To do this, train the piece to curve by using a doll rod, scissors, or bone folder. Push the tabs to the center and glue as shown. Set aside to dry.
  3. There are three pieces that form the top portion of the lid. You will be using a long piece with tabs on both sides as well as two circles the same size. One of the circles has a hole in the lid. Join the long piece into a circle by placing glue on the end tab. Hold until dry. Place glue around the edge of one of the circle pieces as shown. Add glue to tabs as shown and place circle into the center connecting the two pieces. Now fold top tabs inward and place circle with a hole on top and set aside to dry while forming the bottom portion of lid.
  4. To form the bottom portion of lid, take the remaining long piece and form a circle like you did above. Apply glue to circle and adhere as shown in photo. Now flip piece over and glue remaining circle to top as a covering piece. Allow to dry.
  5. When dry, combine pieces as shown to form the lid of your cup.
  6. To form the cup sleeve, train the remaining piece to curve around the cup. You can do this by using your bone folder or whatever flat surface you have handy. Glue into place and slip around cup.
  7. Your cup is finished! Embellish as desired. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this tutorial as much as I have. The 3D Coffee Cup Round will make a great addition to your SVG library. Happy crafting!
