5X7 Pop Up Card St Patricks Day Tutorial

March 7, 2024March 7, 2024

I love a pop-up card and St. Patrick’s Day! So I had to make Lori’s new pop-up card (SVG, Silhouette).

5X7 Pop Up Card St Patricks Day

Get started by organizing your cuts within your software. In Silhouette Studio, I organized most the white pieces on a piece that I can print and cut.

On the pieces with the words, make sure to select the piece, and select Cut Edge. So the words will be printed, then the tag shape will be cut. You can see in the image all the cut lines are red, and the words are not. I also select no color for all the lines. Print this page and it’s ready to cut.

Cut out all the other pieces in the colors that you desire.

Next let’s make the front of the card.

When you are building the front, be sure to adhere the wheels and these 2 shamrocks first, then adhere the truck piece.

Next, adhere the letters to the pop-up portion of the card taking card to keep all adhesive away from the pop-up parts. After they are adhered, carefully fold and pop out the LUCKY. Be sure to fold on the score lines.

Now time to put all the pieces together.

That’s it. I hope you find a pop-up card that you want to make. Here are some other new ones: Pop-up Cards. If you make one, tag Lori and me (@ashleymhc) so that we can see it!A

Box Card Easter Bunny and Chick Carrot Car Tutorial

February 29, 2024February 27, 2024

Hi! Are you ready for spring yet? Here in Utah, the weather is undecided. We’ve had beautiful spring like weather and then the next day, snow. Fortunately, for us, it melted quickly! For me, spring and Easter are synonymous and with that I want to show you how to put together Lori’s adorable Box Card Easter Bunny and Chick Carrot Cars. Here are the Silhouette links: Box Car Easter Bunny Carrot Car and Box Car Easter Chick Carrot Car

To start with, I cut out all my pieces. I’m making multiples to send to my grandkids so there are many pieces.

I then inked a few of the pieces. I wanted my yellow accents on the chick to stand out a little. I also like to add a light gray to the white edges of the eggshell. And of course, orange and green to make the carrot pop.

I then glued the main base piece together. With making multiples, I didn’t want the seam to open up while I was working on the next piece so I clamped them together with a binder clip.

Then I added the layered pieces of the front and the back to the main base.

Next are the cute little drivers. I started with the eyes on the chick and then flipped it over to add the other pieces. With the bunny, I started with the ears and then the eyes.

Next, glue the character to the insert and then add the insert to the base with the tabs bent to the back. I like to flatten the card after adding the insert to make sure that the card will lay flat for mailing.

And that’s it! You have an adorable carrot car box card.

Wrap St. Patrick Cookie Topper

February 22, 2024February 21, 2024

Hi all!

I work in a small office and I try to do some kind of cute little treat for all the ladies in the office on holidays. When I saw this cute little wrap I knew it would be the perfect office treat.

I started with my supplies. Because I would be making a few of these I decided to use the sticker sheet that matches the Echo Park Happy St. Patrick’s Day paper line by Lori instead of the little pot of gold that comes with the file. I used the cut file called Wrap St. Patrick (SVG, Silhouette).

First, I scored the long sheet.

Added a few pop dots (dimensionals) to the back of my sticker.

Then I added my sticker to the little black cut-out (pointy tweezers are a great helper here).

I used a cello bag and put some sugar cookies in it (They kind of look like golden coins).

Here is the tricky part, put the top of your bag through the round hole.

Fold up the side with the 2 slits and run your ribbon or bakers twine through a slit, around your cookies, and back through the 2nd slit and tie in a cute bow.

Add your little black cutout and sticker accent piece to the front and you have a darling little treat.

Happy Crafting!

Valentine Gift Set SVG Files

January 25, 2024January 26, 2024

Hello crafters! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and this past Tuesday was National Pie Day, so … I found a little inspiration for today’s project by combining the two! I created a cute cherry-themed card and a pie-shaped gift box using a couple of Lori’s fun cutting files.

These would make the “sweetest” gift. You could fill the box with candy, a gift certificate, jewelry, a small toy, money, love notes, or clues to a treasure hunt.

First, here’s how I made the pie slice box …

Valentine's Day Cherry Pie Gift Box Tutorial

I used the cutting file called 3D Cherry Pie Slice (SVG, Silhouette). I cut out all of my pieces and then folded them along the score lines. The small notches on the pieces allow the shapes to bend easily to create the pie’s shape. I chose a red paper with hearts (Bella Blvd’s Bestie Hearts & Ombre in McIntosh).

I used a liquid glue to adhere the red “cherry” portion of the pie-shaped box together. Then, I added a base inside made out of Bazzill Kraft card stock.

For the lid, I repeated the process that I did for the base. Then, I layered the red “cherry” filling piece, the kraft lattice piece, and finally … the scalloped crust piece. I used a piece of foam tape under that for some dimension. I added the cute cherry and some lime twine and the box was complete!

Next up, is the cherry card …

Valentine's Day Cherry Themed Card and Pie Gift Box Tutorial

For this one, I used the cutting file called Pop Up Box Card Valentine Cherry (SVG, Silhouette). I cut out my pieces and layered all of the pattern pieces before assembling the card. I used Bazzill Kraft card stock, white card stock, and a cherry-patterned paper from Doodlebug’s Bar-B-Cute Collection.

As you can see above … the band of the card attaches to the left and right sides only, leaving the center of the band free of adhesive. This allows the card to fold and pop open easily.

Next, I glued the two remaining pop-up elements inside the band as shown above. I used a cute red polka dot paper from Doodlebug’s petite print dot & stripe for the hearts.

Valentine's Day Cherry Card & Cherry Pie Gift Box Tutorial

And … they’re done! My cute cherry-themed Valentine’s Day card and Cherry Pie Slice Gift Box are ready for gifting. Well, that was easy! I just love Lori’s cutting files.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope these inspire your next Valentine’s Day craft project. Have a great day!

Box Card Large Valentine Centerpiece Tutorial

January 18, 2024January 17, 2024

Hi! Teri here with a tutorial for the cute Box Card Large Valentine’s Centerpiece (Shop, Silhouette). This piece is simple to put together and turns out adorable.

First, I cut out all of my pieces even a few extra heart banner pieces. Since I’m putting this in a location where all sides will be seen, I wanted the banner to go all the way around the box. I also inked the hearts to give them more depth.

I ensured that all of my hearts would fit in the right spots.

Then I glued the main box portion together.

A little tip that I use for stringing baker’s twine is that I apply a small amount of wet glue to the end of the twine and then twist the twine applying the glue. Then let it dry for a few minutes and this will give you a makeshift needle so you can thread the twine through the small holes of the mini banners. I then glued the end of the twine into the corners of the main box portion.
