Witch Hat Handle Box Tutorial

September 21, 2023September 20, 2023

It’s Halloween crafting time! My favorite time to create! These handle boxes of Lori’s are so cute and easy, come together in no time at all. Four different Halloween designs. I did the Witch Hat Handle Box in Lori’s Store or you can find it here in the Silhouette Store.

First, cut your pieces and fold them on the score lines.

Then I inked the edges of all my pieces with coordinating ink.

Add scor-tape to the four flaps that you see here and adhere your box together.

Add your witch hat and how cute is that? Fun for all kinds of little treats!

Thanks for joining us today for this super quick and easy treat box!

Get Well Tissue Wrap Tutorial

September 14, 2023September 14, 2023

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! Hope you aren’t having a “ruff” day and this “doggone” cute get well card brings a smile to your face. (SVG, Silhouette)

First thing I did was change the words to write rather than cut then I cut all my pieces and inked the edges for that finished look. Then assembled the “paws-itively” adorble little pup.

Add the heart last so you make sure its in the right spot and don’t have to move it.

Add your words to the red pieces and add the 2 red pieces to the top and front of the tissue hole. Add your score tape to the end flap.

I found this was easier to adhere and get it lined up by laying it flat like the above photo. If you are like me and and had a “faux-paw” while trying to adhere this by eyeballing it and got it crooked, you can heat the back with a blowdryer or heat gun it will losen the adhesive and make it easier to pull apart without ruining the whole card.

Add the pup and the “ruff day” word bubble to the top portion.

Add your tissue (make sure the package of pocket tissue that you buy has the hole in the center and not on an end).

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a “paw-some” day!

Happy Crafting

Hi there and happy almost Fall! I live in the desert southwest and it has been hot, so I am very ready for cooler temps! Today, I am sharing a tutorial for the 3D Small Pumpkin (SVG, Silhouette). There is also a larger version of this pumpkin (SVG, Silhouette) that comes together in the same way. The smaller size fits nicely in my tiered tray so that is what I went with. I also used papers and embellishments from Lori’s new I Love Fall paper collection by Echo Park Paper.

First, I folded all of the score lines as mountain folds and put a slight curve in the paper for the sides of the pumpkin. I also added a curve to the decorative paper sides. I used liquid glue to secure the decorative panels to the front, back, and sides of the pumpkin. I found working from the center out was the best to get the panels spaced evenly.

There is one inside piece in the file that helps shape the pumpkin. This piece is glued on the inside of all the tabs. You could cut two, but it isn’t necessary, and if you do cut two, add it after the stem is in place. I added glue to the top of the inside piece of the pumpkin (shortest side) and folded the largest tab over and making sure all of the corners meet up and are straight. Once it’s dry and secure, I added glue to one side of the entire edge of the inside piece, started at the bottom, and made sure to line the edges up then proceeded to secure the rest of the tabs to the inside piece. Repeating the process for the other side.

For the steam. There are five decorative panels. One is a square that goes in the middle and the others are polygon shapes that go around the middle making a cross. I added glue to the empty squares and folded the steam making a small box. The tabs on the bottom of the steam are inserted into the top of the pumpkin. There are two short tabs and two more extended tabs. The short tabs are glued down pointing toward the sides of the pumpkin. (so as not to go over the score lines)

Now it is time to secure the front and back of the pumpkin. Like before, I started with the bottom tab and ensured the corners and edges were all lined up. I then added glue to all the tabs, added the decorative panel over, and, did my best to make sure everything was lined up and secure. Flipped the pumpkin over and repeated the process.

The file comes with a couple of pumpkin leaves and a vine. I ended up cutting the stems off of the leaves and securing them to the front of the pumpkin. I also added a few puffy stickers and chipboard from the collection as well as some gold ink splatter.

I love how this little pumpkin turned out. It is a fun little Fall project that makes a darling decor piece for my kitchen tray. Thanks for stopping by today!

Ferris Wheel Card Tutorial

August 31, 2023August 28, 2023

Hello everyone, Marcia here today. With it being State Fair time, I wanted to make this fun Ferris Wheel Card (SVG, Silhouette). This shaped card is perfect for your Midway or Theme Park-loving friends. I used the Echo Park Paper A Magical Place collection by Lori Whitlock to create mine.

This is an easy card to make. Let me show you how.

1. Choose your papers and cut out all the pieces. I like to ink the edges of my pattern papers to add more definition

2. Adhere the black ferris wheel base to the shaped card base. Then glue the star and layered heart in the middle of the wheel. Adhere the roof of the passenger cars to the bottom of the cars.

3. Use foam tape to adhere each passenger car to the wheel and embellish as you wish. I added a sentiment to the front of my wheel as well as some crystal gems for the sparkling lights.

I know this card will put a smile on someone’s face! Lori has lots of other fun theme park cards in her shop. Take a look.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Dino-mite 4×6 Pocket Page Mini Album Tutorial

August 24, 2023August 24, 2023

Hi everyone! I just fell in love with Lori’s Echo Park collection, Dino-Mite. It is just so dang cute with the sweetest images and the colors are just so fun. I have a coworker who has this little guy who is all about dinosaurs and he just turned two, so I thought I would make a mini for her to document some of their adventures over his Birthday weekend. I used Lori’s 4×6 pocket page mini album here in the Silhouette Online Design Store or you can find it here in Lori’s Store. I also didn’t realize Lori already had a tutorial on it, so I’m putting the link here for it also. I put mine together a little differently, lol.

Lori’s Tutorial

I started by using Echo Park’s Dino Mite Card Stock Pack and cut all of my pages first, two of each color. Using the cardstock pack gives you two colors, so it works out perfectly when you fold your pages over to create the pockets for a nice contrast. Just fold on the score-lines, add your adhesive and you have your four pocket pages. Next, I cut my four smaller pockets from the 6×6 Dino-Mite paper pad, fold on the score-line and add adhesive. Here’s where I did mine differently, I added these smaller pockets to the back side of each of these pages with the pre-attached pockets. No biggie there. Turned out just as cute. Each of these pockets also has an insert that Lori’s has designed to go inside, you can matt your photos on these or add your journaling. You’ll see those in the finished pictures. I used the Echo Park matching Dino-Mite Card Stock again for those.

I cut my cover next, again from the Dino-Mite matching Card Stock and then just used book rings to put it all together. Easy peasy. On two pages, I added little flaps (like you see below with a photo matt under neath) these are just 4×4 element cards from the Dino-Mite paper pack that I scored at 1/4 inch and added adhesive to create the little flap. I just dug into the paper pack and used all the goodies from the pack and Dino-Mite frames and tags, Ephemera to embellish my album.
