It’s October… you know what that means… Halloween!! I love decorating for Halloween, so I thought this not-so-spooky Haunted House Centerpiece (SVG, Silhouette) would be perfect for my table! Take a peek…

Isn’t this fun? You could even add a tea light inside so there’s a glow from the windows (make sure it’s one that does not get hot!) ! There are some fun details, including ghosts, black cats, spiders and pumpkins! Here are some close-ups…

I have a video tutorial to help with assembly on my YouTube Channel here.

If you make one, be sure to tag Lori Whitlock on Facebook and or Instagram. I would love to see your creations! And don’t forget the October Sale is happening now in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop! Get 25% off SVGs and Commercial Licenses when you use code OCT2019 at checkout!

Pillar Sign Tutorial

September 26, 2019September 25, 2019

Hi Everyone! Corri here today with a quick assembly tutorial for the new Pillar Sign 4 x 4 (Silhouette, SVG). This little sign is so cute and could be used for so many things! You could use it for a buffet to mark the names of the food items, as part of your home decor or for a birthday party.

When you cut the sign you end up with these pieces plus some rectangles to cover the background if you choose. I did not use those on my sign.

After you have the sign pieces cut, fold everything along the score lines.

Next, begin to apply glue to the glue tabs one section at a time. Allow time for the glue to dry before moving on to the next set of tabs.

Continue gluing all the tabs in place until you have formed the pillar, sign background and top.

Next, glue the three pieces together and add your sign. I trimmed one of the 4 x 4 cards from the Lori’s My Favorite Fall Collection from Echo Park.

This turned out so cute and was fun to put together! There are so many uses for this project. Head over to Lori’s Shop to see the other sizes!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fall Treat Bags Tutorial

September 12, 2019September 11, 2019

Hello friends! Aimee here with you today to share a tutorial on one of the fabulous new box files that Lori has created for us! This is the Gift Bag with Handle Scalloped (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette Store) and I am going to show you how to add a front panel so that the treats show through. And since Fall is just around the corner I added a couple of Autumn icons from the Fall Icons set 2 (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette Store). So if you’re ready…let’s get to crafting some Fall gift bags!

Open the Gift Bag with Handle Scalloped file…

and add the Fall Icon set. I only used the pumpkin and leaf so I deleted the others but the other 2 could easily be used as long as you’re only adding the base layer.

At this point, place the icon and the scalloped handle on the front panel of the bag. You can size and arrange the icon you’ve chosen. With the handle in place, it gives you an idea of what size your icon should be.

Now that you have you’re icon placed and sized, slide the handle to the top. Click on the bag and ungroup the bag from the cut lines. This is a very important step! If this step is missed, it will turn the dotted cut lines into solid cut lines which will give you a bunch of strips of paper instead of a bag.

Next, click on the icon and while holding the shift button, click on the bag and click on “make compound path”. It will make your bag clear but it still cuts the same. Now you will want to click on the bag and the cut lines and group them together. Now you are ready to cut.

Run your papers through your paper cutting machine. Now let’s get to putting the box together.

Adhere a piece of acetate over the icon space

Place your adhesive on the top panel of the bag and fold it down on itself

Now adhere the bag together

And adhere the scalloped handles to the front and back of the bag.

And decorate them! There are so many possibilities! I used My Favorite Fall collection to make and decorate my bags. All that’s left to do is add a sweet treat to give to some you are grateful for!

That’s all from me today! I hope this provides some great inspiration for your Fall projects!

House Slide Box Tutorial and Assembly Tips

September 5, 2019September 4, 2019

Hello crafty friends! Michelle Zerull with you today to share my new favorite Lori Whitlock gift box called the House Slider Box. I love making little houses and this one is the sweetest because you can put little gifts and treats inside! I also have some decorating tips using Lori’s new paper line called, “My Favorite Fall”.

The digital cutting files for the box can be found at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop as well as the Silhouette Design Store. It has some other cool features as well. so let’s make one together!

First you’ll need to cut out the house pieces with your digital cutting machine. While the house was flat, I glued the door and window in place. I inked my edges so that the score lines would be easier to see, but that’s not necessary for you to make a super-cute house.

Fold the house sides upward and glue to the front and back of the house. Set it aside.

The house “frame” is one long piece. Fold along the score lines and glue the tab to the inside as shown.

Add glue to the frame’s roof and glue the shingled piece in place as shown.

Now the house box will slide in and out of the frame, just like a matchbox. Isn’t that the cutest? Now let’s decorate it!

Lori has a new line of paper and embellishments from Echo Park Paper. The line is called, “My Favorite Fall.” It’s available at retailers now and it has the cutest elements! I discovered that one of the cut apart pages has elements that fit nicely on the side of the house. Look at all of the cute designs you can use!

I also discovered that the puffy stickers (Yes, Puffy Stickers!) are sized to fit this little house perfectly. See the sticker that says, “Thank you?” It fits over the little window. What a great way to show your gratitude!

I added some paper Apple Trees, which are really called, “Easter Scene Tree” to the photo, because every Autumn home should include some juicy apples! You can find the digital cutting file for the tree at the Silhouette Design Store, or as part of a bundle at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.
