Gaming Remote Mini Album

Hi crafty friends! I’m excited to be sharing my latest project tutorial!  I used Lori’s Pop Up Video Game Card to create a mini album in the shape of a gaming controller. This unique little scrapbook is perfect for photos of gaming with friends, a birthday party, or everyday pictures of your little gamer. 

Game Controller Shaped Scrapbook Mini Album

I started with the cutting file called 5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Video Game (SVG, Silhouette).

5x7 Pop Up Card Father's Day Video Game

This card is so adorable! I only used the game controller part to create my album but I’ll definitely use the entire card file again sometime.  

Let’s take a look at some of the pages, then I’ll explain exactly how I made it.

Game Controller Shaped Scrapbook Album Page with baseball hats and a geometric green paper

It’s fun, right? Ok, now for the tutorial … 

1.  I brought the card into my Silhouette software and ungrouped all of the pieces.  

2.  I kept only the game controller and hit ungroup again so that I could separate the pieces.  

3. With the pieces separated, I duplicated the base shape to create a front and back cover.  Since I only wanted the game buttons on the front cover, I released the compound path. 

4. I deleted the buttons from one of the base shapes.  

5. Now I added a .25” binding hole to the corner and hit “make compound path”.  

6.  Once I had my front and back covers, I cut the colored buttons out and adhered everything together.

Now you have a fun mini album that looks great sitting out in a kids room, dad’s office, or a college student’s apartment. Lori has so many great SVG files and I hope you’ll give her 5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Video Game a try.

 

A2 Santa Claus Card

Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today! I want to share with you a cute Christmas card from the Lori Whitlock file called A2 Santa Claus Card ( SVG, Silhouette). This is such a cute fun card to make.
Once I cut all my pieces I embellished the red layer (including his hat and suit) with a Christmas holly swirl embossing folder. This was a simple step, but effective I think. Then I glued my pieces in place. I cut a strip of gold & red Christmas ribbon & glued it down onto the base of my card. Lastly, I glued everything into place, and used foam squares to pop Santa up for some fun dimension.

Thanks for stopping by!

3D Pocket Explosion Box Tutorial

Happy almost Halloween, everyone!  Yes, my very favorite time of the year to create. Today I’m sharing a fun tutorial for one of Lori’s adorable designs — the Pocket Explosion Box (SVG, Silhouette)  I love how quickly and easily this project comes together.

EEEEK!  It’s so cute!
First, start with cutting all your pieces.  Here is the outside of the box and the lid.
This is the inside layer of the box, the little purple pocket like folders.
And the lid.

After cutting all your pieces, start assembling.  I started with the little file folders, just fold on the score lines and just use your regular adhesive to put them together.
There are 4 total of these little cuties.
This is the inside of the first layer, the black star print is on the other side. Adhere a folder to each side.
So it looks like this!
Next, create the inside layer of your box.  You just fold over and adhere, it makes the cutest little library type pockets.  Just add adhesive to the bottom square on the opposite side and adhere to your first layer.
Now you just get to have fun and go to town with all the little embellishments.
Just open and this little box just explodes with fun!  Adorable!
Thank you for joining us today!
