Money Roll Gift Bag Tutorial

Hello there! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the Money Roll Gift Bag Birthday file (SVG, Silhouette). For this project I also used the Party Animal collection by Echo Park Paper Co. This little gift idea is perfect for a last-minute gift idea or that hard to shop loved one.

After cutting everything out, I inked the edges of my bag, box, cake, and candles. I glued the decorative panels in place, assembled the cake, and folded all the score lines into mountain folds. Since I used patterned paper for the cake, I couldn’t use the print and cut feature, so I added a few stickers from the collection for the sentiment.

 

Once the cake was assembled, I glued the back and attached it to the front of the bag. I folded down the bottom tabs and glued each layer to hold it in place. For the money roll box, I glued the smallest tabs and secured each side. The back of the box stays open and will fold shut once the money roll is tucked inside.

The file includes a print-and-cut tab to attach to the end of the money. I used low-tack washi tape to secure the tab and connect the money end to end. Starting from the end without the tab, I rolled up the bills, fed the tab through the slot in the money roll box, and then closed the box. The money roll box fits perfectly into the bag.

This money roll gift set is sure to be a hit with the recipient and will make gifting money exciting as the tab is pulled. Thanks for stopping by today, and happy crafting!

12×12 Heart Background Page

Hello, crafty friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a 12×12 scrapbook layout that’s perfect for your Valentine’s Day photos. I created it with one of Lori’s gorgeous cutting files called Square Background Set 2 (SVG, Silhouette). It’s filled with the cutest heart cutouts and ohhhh, how I love it!

I used the file to create the beautiful white heart border / background. Then, I added square photo mats made from pattern papers and embellishments from Doodlebug’s Lots of Love Collection.

To make it, I started with a sheet of 12×12 red Bazzill cardstock as the base. I cut Lori’s file out of white cardstock and a blue pattern by Doodlebug called Buffalo Check and Woodgrain in the swimming pool color.

Next, I layered the white paper on top of the base cardstock. I love how the red shows through the cutouts. But for a little more color, I glued the little blue hearts from my second cut all around the edge.

The heart cutouts are perfect for my Valentine page and I love how they can be customized. You could make all of the hearts different colors or every other heart a different color.  

Here’s what the file looks like …

Valentine Cat Bag and A2 Card Gift Set

Hello Crafty Friends Noelene here today! With Valentine’s Day less than 2 weeks away today I want to share with you an adorable little bag & card gift set I made using one of the newest files from Lori Whitlock called Valentine Bag Cat (SVG), (Silhouette). I also created a matching card using an A2 card Base (SVG), (Silhouette)
To start off I cut out all the panel pieces for the bag. Make sure you cut 2 of each of all the panels that make the cat, (if you are making the card). I did not need to alter the size of the cat in any way as it fit nicely onto the a2 card base. Now start by putting all your pieces together for the cat by following the steps below.
Now it’s time to put the bag together. Glue all your bag panels onto the bag base.
Note the next step I did after glueing the panels, but it may be slightly easier to do before the panels are glued on, as the cardstock will be more flexible. Mountain fold the bottom flaps & valley fold the sides of the bag.
Next glue the side tab of the bag.
Glue the base then set your bag aside for the time being.
Now to create our matching A2 card. Firstly cut out all the panels. You will see that I have an extra rectangle piece of cardstock which is not in the file. I just cut out a rectangle 1.25″ x 4.25″ with the same paper I used on the side of my bag so that it coordinates with my card.
Glue the 2 front panels onto the card base.
Glue the extra rectangle piece onto the far right side of the inside of your card, so that when you close your card it will be visible from behind the pinking pattern.
Lastly to finish off place a cat onto the front of your bag & another onto the card front. I used foam squares to give it dimension. Then add the ribbon to your bag & any other embellishments you wish. Today I have kept it simple & only added a heart stickle.

Love You Gnome Matter What

Happy Monday, everyone. Can you believe it’s February already? That means Valentine’s crafts! Today I made this little treat box to share.

 

I used 3D Gnome Treat Box found HERE (Silhouette HERE). Then I messed with the contours on his hat to remove the stars and added 1 of the Nesting Hearts found HERE to make his hat Valentine Day worthy.  I used Echo Park Company’s Valentine’s Day paper designed by Lori Whitlock. I inked the edges and popped up the little nose.

I loaded the little box with goodies and a giftcard and it’s ready to be gifted.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
