Have you seen the new Kissing Booth Cards in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Store this week?  They are so cute and would make the perfect Valentines!  I made the Box Card Kissing Booth Cat (SVG, Silhouette) and Box Card Kissing Booth Dog (SVG, Silhouette)… take a peek…

These little box cards are so simple to assemble!  After piecing together the critters and gluing to the insert, just form a box shape using the crate piece.  Add adhesive to the tabs on the insert, insert into the “box” and press the tabs to the sides.  The top banner and heart are done using the print and cut feature of your cutting machine.  It even folds flat for mailing!

There are 3 other Kissing booth cards available as well..

Box Card Kissing Booth Hedgehog (SVG, Silhouette)
Box Card Kissing Booth Panda (SVG, Silhouette)

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Hi everyone!  Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I fell in love with this little gumball box card that Lori created.  When I saw it I knew that I wanted to turn it into a shaker card.  You can find this file here in Silhouette Store or here in Lori’s SVG Shop.  It’s just way too cute!

To turn this in to a fun shaker, first cut all the pieces below. I cut a few extra gumball pieces just in case I wanted to add them to the shaker but they ended up being to big.

 

Next cut 12 more of these pieces.  You need this many to stack and create enough depth to hold the sequins and such.

After you have all these cut, start layering them and glue with a good strong adhesive.  Layer 10 of them together, then add a piece of transparency on the and the back side of your layered piece.  I used the same glue for this too.  Then add the 11th frame piece to finish the back side.  Fill with beads and sequins.  You can see the depth of your shaker window in the picture below.

Add another piece of transparency to the top and then the final frame piece to seal your the shaker pieces inside.  Assemble the Gumball Box card and Glue this shaker in place to the front piece of your gumball machine.

These are so much fun to give and receive and it will still fold fairly flat for mailing.

Thanks for joining us today!

Super excited to be here today to show you how I put together this fun Tag Mini Album. ( SVG, Silhouette) This project goes together super fast and I like that you can make as many tags as you’d like depending on how many photos you have.  I thought this would be a great way to document some fun snow days using Lori’s My Favorite Winter Collection. It has so many fun winter images and the colors are perfect for documenting winter with all the blues and that pop of red!

 

To begin,  cut all the pieces as shown. You can cut as many tags as you need for this project, I cut four tags using various papers form the collection.

Next fold the tag piece inward on the score lines and add glue to the two inside flaps.

Then fold the pocket flap over and adhere. Next, add the decorative panel to the top of pocket as shown.

Lori’s My Favorite Winter Collection has some great 3×4 cut a parts that I used on the front of each tag insert.  I layered the insert with a second card, about 1/4″ smaller and then corner rounded the 3×4 cards and placed that on top. You can trim the 3×4 card a little to make it fit.

It will look like this when you’re finished. Repeat this step for all your tags.

To embellish the front pocket of the tags I added a white doily, pom pom trim, ephemera, chipboard stickers and enamel dots from the My Favorite Winter Collection.  How cute is that bear and snow man?!

I then embellished tags and ephemera from the collection using a few things from my crafty stash as well as chipboard stickers, enamel dots and die cut snowflakes from this same collection.

I had to add this fun snow globe shaker I made with Lori’s Snow Globe Card Christmas Trees File. ( SVG, Silhouette)

Here are all the tags I created.  Aren’t they cute?! All your photos and journaling can go on the back side of the insert card as well as the backs of the tags themselves.

I can’t wait to make more of these.  Hope you give it a try!
