Easter Treat Favor Box by Aimee

Hello friends! Aimee here with you today with a tutorial on using Lori’s new sketch images to create this sweet little Easter gift bag. I choose a couple of adorable images from the Sketch Easter Bundle that you can find in Lori’s Shop here or in the Silhouette Design Store (rabbitflower). I also used this new Favor Box that can be found in Lori’s store here or in the Silhouette Design Store here.

Open the images and add an offset image around each image. I resized the offset to 0.050. After you have the offset image, highlight both images and group them together so they are easily moved around. The black lines are the sketch lines and the red lines are the cut lines.

Once I had both images with an offset cut grouped, I measured them against the box svg to make sure  they were appropriately sized.

For those of you who are new to using Silhouette sketch pens, here is a Silhouette tutorial for using them. A big HINT when using the sketch pens and then cutting them out is NOT removing your cutting mat after the image is drawn. Leave the mat in place and then switch over to the blade and let your machine cut the image out from your paper.

Here are my images after the sketching and cutting are complete. Now comes the fun part of decorating them. I used Lori’s new collections Easter Wishes and Spring Fling  on this project because the colors and patterns are so fun and vibrant

I fussy cut one of the eggs out of pattern paper and added it to the rabbit so that it looks like he’s holding it. I also added some pink to the back of his ears. For the flower, I trimmed the flower and adhered it to the top of the green flower sketch cut and added a matching button and baker’s twine.

For the finishing touches I added a pink striped bow and the Happy Easter sentiment from the Light Up Card Easter Bunny that can be found in Lori’s store here or in the Silhouette Design Store here.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you give the new sketch images a try and create your own little box for Easter or Wedding!

Valentine’s Day Cards by Aimee

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here today to share a brand new set of Valentine’s Day cards by Lori. I love making Valentine’s Day projects and these cards were the perfect thing to make for my 3 kiddos. The best thing about these cards is they came together quickly and I had fun choosing which colors I was going to use for each one.

Lori has the set of 4 in her shop here. There is also a “Hugs” card in the set. You can find these sweet cards in the Silhouette Studio here, Valentine Card LoveValentine Card KissValentine Card Hugs, and Valentine Card XOXO.

For each card I just happen to have matching sequins and twine in my stash for each of the colors along with 3 red buttons. I really adore how these fun little cards turned out!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Valentine Red Truck Shaped Box by Aimee

Hello crafty friends! Hope everyone had a very merry and happy Christmas! Now that all of the Christmas crafts are done and checked off the list, I’m going to gear things towards Valentine’s Day! Aimee here today to share a tutorial on the adorable Red Truck Shaped Box but instead of Christmas I’m going to share how to turn it into a Valentine truck!

After uploading the file into Silhouette Design Studio, I resized the truck to a bit smaller size and deleted the trees. You can find the Red Truck Shaped Box file in the Lori Whitlock store or in the Silhouette Design Store.

If I’m changing the look of a project, I will change the colors of the cuts to give me a better idea of which papers to use. To give the truck a Valentine look I changed the colors to red and pink.

Here are my pieces after I cut them all out. I used Simple Stories Kissing Booth papers because I absolutely love the red gingham pattern paper.

To give the truck some dimension, I added brown inking around the edges of each piece. It makes the truck look a little dirty and what is a truck without a little dirt/mud on it?!?!

Adhere this piece to one of the ends of the box. It serves as the front of the truck after you’ve glued the truck pieces to the sides of the box.

Adhere all of your truck pieces together. It makes it easier to adhere to the box.

And now your box is complete and you get to decorate it!!

How adorable is this little truck filled with a bunch of red and white Hershey kisses and some Valentine heart note cards?

Hope you’ve all enjoyed this Valentine’s Day Truck Box tutorial and are ready to start on creating your own Valentine’s Day crafts! Thanks for stopping by!
