A VW Bus Mini Album

Summer is almost here and Lori has the perfect collection with Echo Park to keep all your summer memories, Endless Summer.  There are so many beautiful papers and just the cutest embellishments with this collection.  Swoon worthy.  I fell in love with the VW bus in this collection and wanted to try to create something special with it.  I decided on a little mini VW bus album.

I chose Lori’s Box Card Van Easter Egg (SVG, Silhouette) and just took out the Easter eggs and kept the van or bus.  I Enlarged the remaining pieces to create a book cover, and then just kept the van shape to create the pages.  I love to get inspiration from Lori’s files and find other ways to use them.  The possibilities are endless when you re-imagine what you could create.

 

 

So many fun details to add to the binding!

Sharing just a couple of the inside pages of my project.  I’ll share the whole thing on my blog this week!  These chipboard frames are perfect for making fun shakers!

 

 

I really had too much fun to with this little mini album.  Endless Summer is the perfect collection for all your summer memories!  I’ll share the rest on my blog this week!  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your week.

Pencil Box with Slip Lid Tutorial

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the Pencil Box with Slip Lid (SVG, Silhouette). It is teacher appreciation week here and I wanted something cute and homemade to give to my son’s teachers this year. This little box is a good size to fill and also makes a darling décor item.

I cut most of the pieces from cardstock with the exception of the lid piece. I used some pattern paper from the Back to School collection by Echo Park Paper co.  The lid is a little larger than the bottom of the box. All of the score lines are folded the same way. I folded them as mountain folds. I also inked all of the edges of the decorative elements for the pencil.

I started with the base of the box but the top is glued the exact same way. I used a liquid glue and glued all of the tabs so that they are on the inside of the box.

The top and bottom of the box should look like this and fit nicely together.

I dry fit all of the decorative elements first. Once I had everything mapped out I used the same liquid glue and glued everything down.

Then I had to make it fancy. I added a few flowers, enamel dots, and some ink splatters. The yellow flower is the Rolled Flower 25 (SVG, Silhouette) and the red flowers are from the A7 Flower Card (SVG, Silhouette).  Lori has a rolled flower tutorial here.

I tucked a drink card inside as well as little note of thanks and sent it off to school with my son. Thank goodness for teachers!
Thanks for stopping by today!
