New Year’s Photo Card with Kathy

Happy New Year Everyone!  The holidays are always so much fun, but sometimes it feels like there’s so much going on that you can’t fit everything in!  Christmas cards are one thing that often gets pushed off the to do list!  It’s not always easy to get a photo of the family together  before the holidays and then you need to find the time to either make or order the cards and mail them!  Well, who says you can’t send out Happy New Year’s Cards??  Friends and family will definitely appreciate the sentiment and your creations will not get lost in the pile of cards sent at the holidays!  I created this fun card using Lori’s new Hello 2019 File (SVG, Silhouette)

I used the print and cut feature of my Silhouette to print out the Hello, and the Happy New Year sentiments.  I cut the 2019 from Silhouette Gold Foil Sticker Paper and added it to the card.   Hint… to place the stickers correctly, I cut the 2019 from regular cardstock and used the negative spaces as a guide for my stickers.  It really went together quickly!  If you create any New Year’s Cards using Lori’s files, be sure to tag @loriwhitlock on Social Media!  We would love to see your designs!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Mini Mailbox Tutorial with Michelle

Happy New Year! Now that we’ve said goodbye to 2018, it’s time for me, Michelle, to start my 2019 Valentine crafts. Today I would like to share a tutorial for one of Lori’s Mini Mailboxes. It’s a classic! You can find the SVG files at the Silhouette Design Store, or at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

Mini Paper Mailbox using I HEART Crafting by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park Paper

The file is adorable and so easy to put together. It would be great as a treat box or a fun place for children to leave little notes. It would be a fun snow day activity too. The possibilities are endless, so let’s get started!

Mini Mailbox Pieces cut from SVG Files

First, cut out your pieces. I used the Lori Whitlock I HEART CRAFTING line by Echo Park Paper. It’s not Valentine or Love themed paper, but the pinks and reds are perfect for both! Tip: It’s easier to glue down your embellishments while it is still flat. The paper will curve easier if you use a dry adhesive, like a tape runner or double sided tape for your embellishments. 

Photo Tutorial For Paper Mini Mailbox Assembly

Here are the steps to assemble the mailbox:

  1. Using a kitchen skewer or dowel rod, gentle train the paper to curve as shown.
  2. Fold all glue tabs inwards and apply adhesive. I used a quick dry liquid glue.
  3. Turn the box on its end and place your hand inside to push down against the table. This will give you a flat surface to push against and make sure that the glue tabs are all attached to the inside.
  4. Attach the mailbox flag to the base with a brad. Tip: Using a brad will allow the flag to move, but if you don’t have any, it will still be cute! Try gluing a button for another fun look!

The cute little postage stamps shown in the photo are also from Lori’s SVG files. You can find them at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or at the Silhouette Design Store. The other decorative elements I cut from some of Lori’s other various files.

The little pull tab at the top allows the mailbox to open easily. Especially for little fingers!
