Let’s Make This Snowflake Hexagon Box Together!

 

Hi friends! Today I am going to be showing you a step-by-step tutorial on “how to make” this snowflake hexagon box by Lori Whitlock. This video provides a comprehensive “box tutorial” for a fun “diy” project, demonstrating easy “paper craft” techniques. It’s a fantastic “crafting” session to create your very own “hexagon gift box” from a simple “paper box” design. (SVGSilhouette).

Happy crafting!

2026 Sticky Note Calendar

Sticky Note Calendar-2026

Pattern Fill Set Summer Splash

3 Valentine Gnomes (Silhouette)

 

Pictured above are the pieces I used for this project. 
3 pieces for the calendar holder cut file, some Lori Whitlock pattern fill paper  and some paper inserts (3×3.25 inches) I made for the holder since I didn’t have a sticky notepad. I cut the pieces and stamped some inspirational sentiments on each sheet. You will get 12 full sheets and 4 partial pieces that still work! I cut 2 sets of these.
 
Opening the calendar  in Silhouette it imports to cut all the print, so you have to highlight and choose cut edge to cut them out properly. You also have to enlarge the print and cut length just a wee bit to allow for cutting all the calendar pages. I used regular printer paper for this part. 
This is what it looks like when the Silhouette software is set to cut edge. Stack and staple them together after cutting them out.

I added the stamped inserts and the little peeking gnome (you could use anything really) on the back for a bit of fun and I was all done! 
 
I hope you enjoyed this quick little project. It is a great addition to your desk and will keep you on track for 2026!
 

3D Lantern Belly Snowman

Hi there friends and happy Winter! Did you all survive the holiday? Ready for the next one? I’m not. We are planning a low-key New Years, cozy home party with an early bedtime! Ha!

Today I am sharing the 3D Lantern Belly Snowman (SVG, Silhouette). This cutie is a darling winter decor piece and so easy to assemble. I used papers and a sticker from the Winter Fun collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also added a battery powered light to the inside of the snowman.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic rest of 2025 and get to do something you love.

3D Hot Cocoa Mug with Cookies for Santa

Merry Christmas Crafty Friends!🎅 Noelene here today!
Did you make sure you left some cocoa & cookies for Santa?
Today I am popping in for a quick tutorial to show you how I made this cute 3D Hot Cocoa Mug (SVGSilhouette) & Cookies for Santa (SVGSilhouette), from Lori Whitlock.
First cut out all your pieces & glue your panels on.
Next glue the 2 handle pieces together then glue the handle tab to the inside of a mug panel.
Now valley fold all your mug tabs & start glueing each piece one by one. It helps to slightly bow the panels inward before you start glueing.
Now fold the tabs down for your cocoa lid. Next take the white froth piece & fold inwards each panel. Then gently one by one overlap each panel till they sit in place, but do not push down all the way. Now glue the froth onto the cocoa lid. The lid sits on top so you can put some treats inside the mug.
To make your saucer & plate, valley fold your scored plates & glue the end tab on the base.
Then, take the hexagon piece & glue it down onto the bottom center.
Then on one of the plates, stick down your biscuits. I used foam tabs to create a bit of dimension. Now, mountain fold your cookies sign & you’re done!
They make the cutest little gift with treats inside! Or even a prop for your Elf on the Shelf!
Don’t forget to check out all the other 3D Mugs, which include 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Penguin (SVGSilhouette), 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Santa (SVGSilhouette), 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Snowman (SVGSilhouette), 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Gnome (SVGSilhouette), 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Polar Bear (SVGSilhouette).

Cookies For Santa Layout

And the countdown to Christmas is on! Who’s ready? NOT ME!! But I did take a great cookie decorating class recently to have some cute Christmas cookies and what a better way to show everyone the cookies than creating a layout!

I used the Echo Park Paper line that Lori designed called Santa Claus found HERE.

I used 3D Cookies For Santa SVG from Lori’s website found HERE. But instead of making it a card, I added a background to the words and used it as a title. I cut one of the cookies and turned it into a shaker piece for one of my embelishments.  The rest of my embelishments were sickers and chipboard pieces from the paper collection.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
