Beehive Box

Hello Crafty Friends, did you catch the new Bee-autful Beehive project bundle (SVG) from Lori Whitlock released last week?
Today I am sharing one of those projects called Beehive Box (SVG, Silhouette).

The bees on it are so adorable. I have used mine today to make a little bee themed spa gift box. It has many other uses too! Change it up with some honey cough drops, honey & lemon herbal tea & some tissues to have a get well gift for someone feeling a little under the weather.
Don’t forget to check out the other 2 Beehive projects Beehive with branch box card (SVG, Silhouette), &  the A2 Beehive Easel Birthday card (SVG, Silhouette).

3D Flower Pot Bouquet

Hi there, friends! Today, I am sharing a tutorial for the 3D Flower Pot Bouquet Daisies (SVG, Silhouette). This flower bouquet would make a perfect hostess gift, birthday gift, or a sweet pick-me-up for a friend. I used the Stars and Stripes collection by Echo Park Paper Co for a patriotic theme.
To begin this project, I cut all the flower pieces first so that I could shape the flowers while my Cricut cut the remaining pieces. The flowers have five layers total. Two of the layers make the flower, and three for the centers. I used a stylus tool and a foam mat to shape my flowers. This process takes a little time, but it wasn’t complicated.

For the pot I folded all of the score lines into mountain folds, inked the edges, and glued the decorative panels in place. Two of the sides of the pot have two large tabs each. I added glue to one tab at time and made sure to line everything up with the edge of the pot. I repeated this process for all four corners.

I then glued into place the four grass panels to the inside of the pot, one on each side. For the inserts I folded all of the tabs into a valley fold and added glue to outside of the tab. I eyeballed this part but I tried to make a sure the number three insert was in the middle of the pot.  There is five inserts total, three for the flowers and two grass inserts. I inserts are numbered which makes gluing them in order easier.

With all the inserts glued into the pot I folded down the round heads for the flowers and leaves. I glued the leaves on first then glued the flowers on top of that.

I embellished my pot with a sticker from the collection and added enamel dots to the centers of all of the flowers.

This was a fun little project and would be cute in any theme. I think my next one is going to be back to school themed, since my kid goes back in three weeks!
Thanks for stopping by.

4×6 Horizontal Tabbed Mini Album Tutorial

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a fun vacation mini album I made with Lori’s cutting file called 4×6 Horizontal Pocket Mini Album Tabbed Pages (SVG, Silhouette). It’s filled with pretty shaped pocket pages and tabbed cards that are perfect for saving your favorite memories. I added pictures of our trip to Hawaii and it made the cutest little keepsake! 🌴🦩🌞

 

I decorated the album with the Doodlebug Design, Fun in the Sun Collection, but … this file could be made with ANY theme for photos of a holiday, family, friends,
new baby, school, your pet, or a season. It’s 4×6 inches and has a flap that folds over onto the front cover to keep the pages secure.  

 

Above, you can see there are 6 pocket pages with a tabbed card / photo mat tucked inside each one. Let’s take a quick look inside, then I’ll share the tutorial …

 


The front of the pockets have a cute cut-out shape and plenty of space for embellishments. And inside, the tabbed card can hold 2 photos (front and back) or be used for journaling.

 

The back side of the pocket pages are blank so I added more photo mats and cute tropical embellies!

 

This mini is so fun! I love the interactive pages in this album. To see more photos and all of the pages in this project, visit my blog here.

Now, for the tutorial …

1.  I cut out all of the pieces, including 6 pages, the covers, 6 tabbed photos mats, pattern paper for the pockets and a binding piece.    

 

2.  I adhered the patterns to the front of each pocket, and the covers,  before gluing everything together.  

3. To create the pockets, I fold the right and left tabs inward and glued them against the back, leaving the tab on the left free. 
4. To assemble the front cover, I adhered the remaining tab on the first pocket just to the left of the score line on the cover piece.  This score line will eventually be the album’s binding.   
5. Next I continued to adhered each of the pocket’s tabs to the back of the page in front of it.


6. The pockets created a stack of pages to the left of the spine.  At this point, I also adhered the back cover piece to the tab on the front cover.  


7.  To adhere the last pocket to the back cover, I used the binding piece that comes in the cut file to adhere them together.

 

Once I finished assembling the album, I decorated it and added my photos. 

I hope enjoyed this project made with Lori’s 4×6 Horizontal Pocket Mini Album Tabbed Pages File (SVG, Silhouette). It’s not only great for your own photos, but … it also makes a wonderful gift idea. Happy scrapping! 😊
