3D Flower Bouquet Assembly Tutorial

Hi there crafty friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the new 3D Flower Bouquet (SVG, Silhouette). Lori has several options and all of them are so fun and versatile. I have made three already! For this project I used papers from the Our Happy Place paper collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

For this bouquet, I wanted to give the flowers a bit more dimension, so I cut an extra layer for each of the smaller blooms. After cutting everything out, I folded all the score lines into mountain folds. I inked the centers of the flowers as well as the edges of the vase and bow. The internal mechanism is glued end to end to form a circle, with the smaller section glued in on itself to create a sturdy easel leg.

Before gluing the internal mechanism to the back of the vase, fold it into an X shape with the easel leg in the center. Apply glue only to the rectangular part of the mechanism and center it on the inside back of the vase. The vase is held together by four small tabs. Add glue to the tabs and the front rectangle of the mechanism, then align the front of the vase with the back, ensuring all edges match up and the tabs are tucked inside.

The file includes centers for all the blossoms, with each leaf composed of two layers. The front layer holds two blossoms, while the back layer contains three.

Apply glue to the square portion on the back side of the back layer, then slide it into the X mechanism. For the front layer, glue only the square section on the front, then slide it into the X mechanism. The bouquet envelope comes in two pieces. The front piece has three tabs folded into valley folds, with glue applied to the back of each tab. Align this piece with the bottom and sides of the back to create a pocket.

The small card has all the elements layered together on the front. For a little extra embellishment, I fussy cut some butterflies, tucked them into the bouquet, and added a flat-backed brad to the bow.

 

 

I’m so happy with how this bouquet turned out and can’t wait to give it away. Next on my list is creating a strawberry bouquet.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Strawberry Jam Shaker Card

Happy Monday everyone! With spring right around the corner I’m starting to think of gardening and canning. My favorite times of the year. With that being said I created this great little You’re Sweet shaker card using the A2 Strawberry Jam Card cut found in Lori’s Shop or at Silhouette.

A2 Strawberry Jam Card

I turned the file into a shaker card. I did a tutorial awhile back how to turn most cut files into a shaker card. That tutorial can be found HERE.

I embossed my “fabric” top and added some bakers twine to the top. I also popped my strawberries with dimensionals. I cut extra strawberries to put on the bottom corner.

I used just some basic sequins for shaker bits with some little strawberries and paper buttons.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

A Groovy Little Mini Camera Tutorial

Hi, fellow crafters!  

There is something magical about creating a mini album that feels like summer in your hands, and this one does exactly that with Lori’s new Echo Park collection, Our Groovy Summer collection. 

The bright pink floral camera box with the cheerful shaker lens filled with tiny colorful embellishments, this little album is bursting with happy vibes.  A little Summer title sets the tone and a playful beaded charm and ribbons add that handmade touch.  It’s a project that makes me instantly smile. 

Start with your camera mini album (SVG, Silhouette).  Cut the box out and then cut your six pages for the inside.  Now for these, I took out the two holes on the side.  Just ungroup and pull those little holes out.  I knew I wanted the album to just be bound with a book ring…so that is why I took them out.  I just took them out of one, then duplicated it so I had six pages.  You can see this is the photos below.

Here is your box and pages.
Fold your box on the score lines.

 

Next, add adhesive and put your box together.
Next, cut the lens out.  I turned this into a shaker lens.  I cut 8 of the rings and one circle for the back.  You want to stack and glue 7 of the rings together, so that you have some depth for your shaker bits and glue to the solid circle.  And on the last ring add a piece of transparency behind it, then fill your shaker (which I forgot to take a photo of) and glue the transparency-topped ring over your shaker. 
 
The adhere your lens to the front on the box and finish embellishing it with some of the fun pieces from the collection.  
Then punch a hole in the upper left corner of your six pages with a hole punch so that you can bind them with a book ring after all your pages are embellished.  Tie a few ribbon pieces and maybe add a cute little charm.
Then just start creating and making this mini your own.  You can see my pages below.
It’s a pretty quick little project and a super groovy collection to create a little mini that feels like bottled sunshine.  I had so much fun bringing it to life.

Print & Cut Stamps Birthday Set

Hello friends!

It’s my turn on the blog today and this time I decided to try something a little different, and it was such a fun change of pace!

Instead of working with cut files, I picked up some of Lori’s adorable digi stamps. I used the birthday-themed set and brought the images to life with watercolor markers. There’s just something so relaxing about coloring, and I love how the watercolor effect turned out.

For this project, I also wanted to challenge myself to reuse something I already had at home. I had an old little box that originally held a gift card, and I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away (please tell me I’m not the only one who keeps these!). So I decided to upcycle it into a cute, handmade gift box.

After printing the digi stamps, I cut them out with my Siser Juliet, colored them with my Zig watercolor brushes and used them to decorate the box.

I added some layered cardstock pieces, a bit of dimension with foam adhesive, and finished it off with a cheerful birthday sentiment. The result is a unique, handmade box that’s perfect for giving another gift card, but now with so much more personality!

Of course, the inside needed some color and decoration too!

I really enjoyed combining coloring with crafting like this, and it felt great to give new life to something that would otherwise have been thrown away.

Now I’m curious—do you also save little boxes like these for future projects? Or am I the only one with a stash of “this might be useful someday” items? I’d love to hear how you reuse them in your own creative projects!
