Patriotic Bird House Tutorial

Have you seen the new Patriotic Birdhouses in Lori’s SVG shop and in her Silhouette Store Gallery?

 

Today I’m featuring the 3D Birdhouse with Stand Patriotic File (SVG,Silhouette)  I put together a quick tutorial for you.

1. First, cut out all the pieces of the Birdhouse:

2. Next, glue all the roof layers starting with the biggest piece and stacking and adhering each smaller piece on top of it.

3. Adhere the star to the birdhouse door.

4. Fold the tabs on the body of the birdhouse, and fold to form and glue.  All tabs are folded in the same direction.

4. Glue the bird pieces together.  Black piece is the back, the light piece in the middle, and the blue piece on top with the wing.

5. Fold the base pieces and glue the tabs together.  These form a little box that will hold the post.

6. Fold and adhere the post.

7. Use glue or glue dot to attach the bird to the front of the birdhouse.  Stick the post into the base and glue. And stick the birdhouse onto the post and glue.

It is such a fun birdhouse to add to your décor for the summer!

Have a great day!

Oh Happy Day Flexi Card

Lori’s new Flexi cards are so great.  You can find them in a bundle or separately in both Lori’s SVG Shop and the Silhouette Store.  Today, I’m sharing the Oh Happy Day Flexi Card (Silhouette, SVG).  Each of these cards is made of just three pieces.  So they are quick and easy to make, but make such a great impact.

This is what the card looks like flat, so it’s easy to mail.

There are many sentiments or icons to choose from.  You’ll enjoy making them all!

Delicate Flower Card

I’m sharing today a quick tutorial for the Delicate Flower Card.  This card is so pretty and easy to assemble!  It folds to fit into a standard A7 envelope.

Silhouette/SVG

This card has only 5 pieces to cut and assemble.  The sentiment is done using the print and cut function of your machine.

After cutting the pieces, adhere the delicate floral piece to the white floral backer. It’s best to use an adhesive with a fine tip.  Carefully adhere the piece.  Add the sentiment to the banner.  Then adhere the assembled pieces to the card.  The banner can go above or below the bouquet, whatever your preference.

Lori has several other delicate floral cards.  Check out the bundle here.

Have a great day!

Easter Shadowbox Card

Today I have one of Lori’s Easter Shadowbox cards to share.  These are quick to put together and have such a lovely impact with the different layers.

Shadow Box Card Easter Jesus

SVG/Silhouette

I added pop dots to the stone to give it more dimension. This card folds flat to fit into a 5×7 envelope.  For help with assembly, Lori has a tutorial here for this type of shadow box card.

Have a great day!

Chipboard Village Easter Add-on

Did you create Lori’s Chipboard Village for Christmas?  Now we have an Easter add-on (SVG, Silhouette(coming soon)).  Find the Christmas Village in the Shop and Silhouette Store (Farmhouse, Manor, Church, Cottage, General Store).

The add-on is a one page print and cut file.  I printed on Sticker paper and I also cut out each shape from cardstock.  I added the sticker to the cardstock shape and glued onto the cardstock stand that is also included in the file.  They look great with the village houses, and are perfect for spring!

Have a great day!
