Hello Summer Bicycle Shadowbox

Hello all you crafty friends…and Happy Summer! I have an adorable craft for you today to make and set on your desk to enjoy Summer without having to endure the heat. This is the Hexagon Shadowbox Bicycle (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette), one of Lori’s new svg files. It is soooo cute sitting here on my desk. I just love all of the different layers!!

If you’d like to make one of your own, I’m here to help! So let’s get started!

Cut out all of the pieces. I used a thick white cardstock for the frame (at least 80lb for sturdiness) and normal cardstock for all of the colored layers. Once I had all of the balloons, trees, and bicycle pieces cut out I adhered them to the layer pieces.

Here is a closer look at those pieces.

Next, adhere the tabs together on each piece of the main frame and let it dry.

Now we can start assembling the shadowbox. Adhere the light blue cardstock piece to the back of the base piece. Bend all of the glue tabs…solid base piece tabs fold upwards and the insert layering pieces along with the front frame tabs fold downwards.

Adhere the outside frame to the back piece of the box.

With the layered piece tabs folded down, insert and adhere them to the box. Tree piece is adhered first. Make sure you are adhering the layers so that the tabs are touching the piece behind it. You need to make sure you still have enough room for the top frame tabs.

Next adhere the balloon piece to the box.

And then the bicycle piece.

After all of the layers have been adhered into the box, there should still be enough room to adhere the top frame tabs to the inside of the box. Adhere the top frame (tabs go inside )on and wait for it to dry.
Then decorate to your heart’s content!! I simply added a Hello Summer title chipboard piece from the I Love Summer collection.
Hope you have fun putting this fun shadowbox together!!  And don’t forget, the July Sale is happening in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!  Get 30% Off All SVGs when you use code JUL2020 at checkout!

Donut Worry, Be Happy!

Hi everyone! Corri here today sharing my take on Lori’s adorable donut truck box card (SVG, Silhouette).  This card is adorable and the perfect way to brighten someone’s day.

I used some solid color cardstock and some metallic paper to create this fun card.  The metal accents really make it pop.   Lori has several new food-themed box cards and they are so cute!  You can check them all out in the shop or in the Silhouette store.  For help on assembly, this post will give you general assembly instructions for Lori’s Shaped Box Cards.

Bible Study Journal Tutorial

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a bible study journal that I made for my father.  He has not been able to go to bible study for various reasons over the last several months and is eager to get  back.  I made him this journal so that he could take it with him to make notes.  I used the SVG cut file from Lori’s shop that is called Pray Hardest and you can find that file here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I also used the file called 3 Christian crosses which you can also find here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  For papers, I used Lori’s Echo Park Paper collection, All Boy.

Here is a photo of the materials that I used for making this journal.

I measured the journal cover and it measured 7.5″ X 9.75″ so I cut my front and back cardstock to that size.  I decided that I wanted the spine cover to be 2″ wide so I cut that by the 9.75″ length as well.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to create this project and did resize it once I measured the size that I would have available to decorate on the front of the journal.  I resized it to 8.250″ X 6.767″.  I used a wet adhesive on the covers because then I would be able to move the paper around until it was perfect.  I then opened the journal and trimmed with small scissors around the rounded edges of the covers.

For the pen I took the end of the pen off and took out the ink shaft.  I then measured the length that would be able to be seen when the  pen was together.  I cut my paper 1″ X 3″ and rolled it around a paint brush handle.  You basically just need to get it started rolling in a circle.  I then slid it into the pen shaft, put the ball point ink shaft back into the pen and screwed back on the end cap and my pen was done.  I used 2/5″ diameter adhesive dots to adhere the pen to the spine of the journal.

I hope that it brings a smile to his face when he sees his new bible study journal.

Hugs,

Anita
