80th Birthday Card

Last weekend we got to celebrate the 80th birthday of my fiance’s uncle, Dennis. Perfect oppertunity to make this fun card.

I used the pop up birthday card (SVG, Silhouette). I changed the Happy to a writing image rather than a cut. You know me and those little tiny letters. I used papers from the Echo Park Dino-Mite Collection. 

 

Such a fun bright card. The SVG from Lori’s shop comes with birthdays 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 so it’s a versatile SVG that you can use over and over.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!!

3D Lantern Bats Tutorial

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the 3D Lantern Bats (SVG, Silhouette) file. This cute lantern has several versions and makes a cute decoration for Halloween. For one lantern you will need two sheets of cardstock. I also used a few scrap pieces of cardstock to make some fall leaves for embellishment.

Once all my pieces were cut, I folded all of the score lines as mountain folds. I then glued all of the D ring shapes together. The lantern body is one piece with one long tab, I added glue to the tab and lined up the opposite edge of the lantern body to the tab. After the glue was set, I flipped the lantern over and added a generous amount of glue to all the bottom tab and folded over the base and applied even pressure while the glue set.

For the base I flipped the base piece over so that the top is on the bottom. I then glued the two longest tabs together. I then added glue to the other long rectangular tabs and folded up the side to secure. Back to the first side I glued I applied glue to the side of the base and held in place. For the flap with the large hole, I only applied glue to the opposite tab. This is to create a sleeve for a battery tea light.

I then slid the square with the small tab through the sleeve to cover the large hole in the bottom. I then flipped the base over and add a generous amount of glue to the bottom of the lantern body and secured the base. I used the two small holes to line up the body to the base.

 
For the top small box for the lid the of the lantern I flipped it over and pushed all of the rectangle shaped tabs back into mountain folds (this helps keep them out of the way while I glue the box together). I added the D ring between the notches. I added glue to the square tabs and held in place while the glue set. I also glued the c shaped piece together by adding glue to just the tab.
Once the small box was dry and set, I pushed all the small tabs through the square in the roof of the lantern and added glue to the small tabs on the inside of the lantern roof. I then added glue to the tabs on the top of the lantern body and held the roof on with even pressure while the glue set.
After the lantern was dry, I cut some oak leaves (SVG, Silhouette) and inked the edges of the lantern. I used some chiffon ribbon for a bow and glued on the oak leaves.

I had a little ballon light to my lantern to get the bats to cast on the walls and shelf.

This would be a fun addition to a Halloween table or tiered tray display. Thats all for me today. Thanks again for being here.

Baby Bottle Shaped Shaker Card Tutorial

Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this adorable Baby shaker card!

The file for my project today is the Baby Bottle Shaped Card (SVG, Silhouette).
 
I opened my file in Silhouette studio & took the bottle panel of my file, (coloured in white in my pic), & made a copy so that I now have 2. 
 
One will be used to create a frame for my shaker by making an internal offset & the other I will use to cut a sheet of acetate for the shaker window.

 

I created an internal offset of 0.450 on one of them. You can now put the other, (for the acetate), without the offset to the side. I have slightly enlarged my card so the offset measurements may vary depending on the size of your card. I just kept playing with mine till I got it to the desired size.
 I then copy & pasted this to fill my page. I was able to fit 4 in total. I cut out 12 pieces of this panel. These are to create the frame for your shaker. You only keep the outside frame. The insert is not needed. You will only need to cut 1 frame if you prefer to create the window frame with foam tape. I prefer this way as I find them much sturdier. I then cut out another of the same panel using the printed paper to make the top printed panel. This time keep both the frame & inside cut. Once I cut out all my pieces the first step was to glue the frame together by layering carefully my 12 pieces.
How thick the layer will depend on the type of shaker confetti you use inside. My shaker balls where a little raised & I wanted them to move freely in my card.
Next I glued together my top panels onto the front of my bottle panel & also glued down the shaker frame I created onto the bottom part.
I wanted some embellishments as well as sprinkles in my card, so I adhered some cute stickers on the inside panel first.

 

Once my stickers were in place I took the panel & glued it inside my frame. This should fit perfectly. Then I added my tiny balls. You can use any sprinkles in your stash. I wanted mine to look like milk inside the bottle that is why I chose the white balls. Next I gave my acetate a light brush of powder on the side I was going to glue down so that it is not static. I then glued the acetate to the frame. I let it dry before the next steps. Acetate takes a little longer to dry & not so instant as paper. Once the acetate was dry I glued on top the printed panel frame. Lastly I glued down my complete bottle panel onto the front of the card frame.
I added a sticker with sentiment on top to finish off!
