Transform Lori Whitlock’s 3D Valentine Houses SVG Bundle Into Winter Décor

Hi everybody, it’s Holly! Today, I’m excited to share a fun “diy” project with you, showcasing the 3D Valentine House Bundle from Lori Whitlock. I’ve turned the Valentine houses into Winter houses. I added some tea lights inside to make the houses light up and it just looks so cute up on my mantle. The warm lights inside the houses adds such a calming peaceful feeling. I made my houses with the I love Winter Collection also from Lori Whitlock. Go in and check out these files, links below.

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. (SVG , Silhouette).

Happy crafting!

Sweet A2 Snowman Card

Welcome everyone, I hope the New Year is treating you well and you are creating away in your little scrap spaces.  I just have a sweet, little winter card to share with you, it’s Lori’s  A2 Snowman 3 card  or here in the Silhouette Design Store. I guess she’s a snow woman in all the cute pinks from the paper collection.   I adore Lori’s new Echo Park Collection Winter Fun. I love all the soft colors and adorable little details.  You really need this collection in you winter scrap stash collection.

Stay warm and thanks for joining us!

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.
