Custom Tumblers and Tag

For the last couple of years, I have helped make or prepare birthday gifts for the ladies at my church.  Last year I featured a tag from Lori Whitlock. Two years ago, I made a postcard for the gifts. I am so excited about this year’s gift.  We are giving the cutest tumblers personalized with an initial.  I am using a Circle Flourish Monogram for the tumblers, and I am using a sticker from the Birthday Stickers (svg, silhouette) for the the little card tag.

To alter this sticker, I’m going to give you a few tips.  In Cricut Design Space you will first upload and open the Sticker File.  Upload as an image.

Ungroup the stickers. I deleted all the stickers I am not using from the canvas.

Now ungroup again. Select each layer and adjust color as you would like.  I wanted to also have the Happy Birthday to you be different colors.

 

Now select Happy Birthday and duplicate twice. Select one of the duplicated Happy Birthday, and Contour.

On this one, I am hiding all the words except for Birthday.

Select the other Happy Birthday.  On this one I hid everything except for the flourish at the bottom.

Recolor these Happy Birthday layers by choosing a color that is next to the Line type box.  Now line up all those Happy Birthday words.

Select all your layers, and click Flatten. This will make it the Print and Cut file.  Now you can print and cut on paper or sticker paper.

In Silhouette Studio Software, you will ungroup the stickers, ungroup the Happy Birthday Sticker, then Release Compound Path on the Happy Birthday Words.  Re color as needed, then select and Make Compound Path.

In the Send screen, make sure to select all the sticker parts, and Choose Cut Edge.  Now it’s ready for Print and Cut.

I hope everyone likes the gift this year.  I think they are so fun.

Tag Mini Album Tutorial

Super excited to be here today to show you how I put together this fun Tag Mini Album. ( SVG, Silhouette) This project goes together super fast and I like that you can make as many tags as you’d like depending on how many photos you have.  I thought this would be a great way to document some fun snow days using Lori’s My Favorite Winter Collection. It has so many fun winter images and the colors are perfect for documenting winter with all the blues and that pop of red!

 

To begin,  cut all the pieces as shown. You can cut as many tags as you need for this project, I cut four tags using various papers form the collection.

Next fold the tag piece inward on the score lines and add glue to the two inside flaps.

Then fold the pocket flap over and adhere. Next, add the decorative panel to the top of pocket as shown.

Lori’s My Favorite Winter Collection has some great 3×4 cut a parts that I used on the front of each tag insert.  I layered the insert with a second card, about 1/4″ smaller and then corner rounded the 3×4 cards and placed that on top. You can trim the 3×4 card a little to make it fit.

It will look like this when you’re finished. Repeat this step for all your tags.

To embellish the front pocket of the tags I added a white doily, pom pom trim, ephemera, chipboard stickers and enamel dots from the My Favorite Winter Collection.  How cute is that bear and snow man?!

I then embellished tags and ephemera from the collection using a few things from my crafty stash as well as chipboard stickers, enamel dots and die cut snowflakes from this same collection.

I had to add this fun snow globe shaker I made with Lori’s Snow Globe Card Christmas Trees File. ( SVG, Silhouette)

Here are all the tags I created.  Aren’t they cute?! All your photos and journaling can go on the back side of the insert card as well as the backs of the tags themselves.

I can’t wait to make more of these.  Hope you give it a try!
