4th of July Gnome Box Card

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with a fun card … the Box Card Gnome 4th of July (SVG, Silhouette)  …take a peek…

How cute is this little gnome??  I just love him and he goes together easily.  (For help with shaped box cards, see this post)   I added some enamel dots to the flower centers for some dimension, and the sentiment was done using the print and cut feature of my cutting machine.  He folds flat to fit in a standard A2 Envelope.   Lori has one here (SVG, Silhouette).  He looks so cute sitting on my shelf, and it would be a great card to send to a loved one to celebrate the holiday.

I hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July!

4th of July Box and S’mores delivered!

Hi everyone!  Cathy here with you today and hoping life is returning to normal or at least to the new normal for you.  The 4th of July is just around the corner and I created a fun box filled with s’more ingredients and napkins to send home to a little person.  I used Lori’s Large Valentine Box Card Centerpiece (Silhouette Online Design Store) or you can find it here in Lori’s SVG Shop.

I love all the hearts in this design and knew that I wanted to turn it into a patriotic display.  I used Lori’s and Echo Park’s brand new America collection.  I love how this turned out, the wood grain paper was perfect for creating the box.  I cut lots of the hearts, inked the edges and layered them with pops dots.  I then cut a piece of chipboard to fit the bottom of the box that I adhered to the bottom, so that I would be able to fill with the all the s’more goodness.    I decorated the front with twine and ephemera from the collection.

Now to get it sent to that little someone and hope the chocolate and marshmallows don’t melt.

Wishing you all a Happy and Safe 4th of July!

Fireworks Display

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a tutorial for a cute 4th of July Fireworks Display (SVG, Silhouette) These fireworks are so fun and simple to make. They can be added to a vase, mason jar, or even a fake potted plant like I did here.

First fold all of the score lines as mountain folds (away from you). Then glue the decorative panels in place. (I glued the long side tab first and then glued the decorative panels which made this step a little harder for myself.) Glue the long side tab creating a octogon shaped tube. Working from left to right glue the top tabs together until you have two tabs left. The last two tabs can be glued together at the same time. Pinch the top points together then flip the firework over and use a pencil or paint brush handle to secure the tabs on the inside of the firework.

Now its time to embellish the firework, curl the tails, then using hot glue add a paper straw or bamboo skewer to the inside of the firework.

I resized the firework and made two smaller ones. The paper collection I used is America by Echo Park Paper Company.

That’s it for me today. Thanks for stopping by!
