3D Graduation Cap Favor Box by Aimee

Hi crafty peeps!! Aimee here with you today with a tutorial on how to assemble and create the new Graduation Cap Favor Box. I made this box for my niece Katie who will soon be receiving her Masters in Early Education and I couldn’t be more proud of her!

This fun and adorable box svg is available at the Lori Whitlock store *here* and at the Silhouette Store *here*. I also added some of the beautiful Lori Whitlock flowers after seeing a lot of graduates are now decorating the top of their caps which is a fabulous idea!! Wished that was a thing when I graduated!! (Rolled Flower 11 – Lori Whitlock or Silhouette, Rolled Flower 20 – Lori Whitlock or Silhouette)

Alrighty, let’s get started! I resized the original file to create a bigger sized box.

Since each piece was so big I used 2 sheets of cardstock…1 for the top piece and 1 for the bottom piece.

After I had each piece cut out, I folded each cut line.

The bottom piece is easily assembled by adhering the gluetabs to the inside of the box.

 

For the top piece, start with the 2 sides with the extra gluetabs and adhere them down to the base of the hat. Follow along as I step you through it in the following pictures.

And this is what the underside of the top piece should look like after you’ve adhered all pieces down.

Now comes the fun part of decorating the top of the Graduate Cap!

That’s it for me today! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and Congrats to all those graduates!!

Pineapple Box Tutorial with Brigit

Hello everyone, it’s Brigit here today sharing a quick tutorial on making this adorable pineapple box. I just added the criss-cross panels from the shaped card pineapple file. You can get both of these files from the Silhouette Design Store, here and19 here.

I used Silhouette Studio to edit my project, I have the business edition and use the files from Lori’s shop so I’m able to save my project as an svg and cut it out with my Cricut Maker.

I imported the pineapple shaped card and only kept the criss-cross piece.

I imported the pineapple box next.

I zoomed in really close and sized the criss-cross to fit inside one of the sides.

I double clicked on the criss-cross piece which brought up point editing and I selected the point in the corner and moved it so it would reach the score lines, I did that on all four corners.

I duplicated until I had 6 pieces, saved, imported into Cricut Design Space and cut out.

Added some twine, decorative brad from Echo Park’s For the Record 2 collection and some brown sequins. The sentiment is from My Creative Time and paper is from Doodlebug Design.

Hope you enjoyed this project, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

Gift Set Tutorial by Brigit

Hello there, it’s Brigit here today sharing a quick tutorial. I needed a gift bag for a friend and since she’s a cat lover I thought the cat on the pop up drawer birthday cat would be perfect for a gift set. You can get this file also from the Silhouette Design Store here.

I uploaded the pumpkin favor box and pop up drawer birthday cat into Cricut Design Space and deleted the pieces I didn’t need, leaving just the box and card with the cat. You can also get the pumpkin favor box from the Silhouette Design Store here.

I grouped the card with the cat and resized to 4″ x 5.25″ and then ungrouped. Since the sentiment is a print n cut I selected both the top banner and text to flatten, this turns it into a printable single image.

Next I duplicated the cat and sized it so it fit between the score lines on the front of the box. Then cut out the project using my Cricut Maker.

Hope you enjoyed this gift set, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

Holiday Gift Tags with Michelle

Gift giving is my favorite holiday activity. I really enjoy shopping and wrapping and making each gift uniquely special. This is Michelle, and I would like to share some holiday gift tags that I made using using files from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

I crafted a set a four different holiday tags and packaged them in their own special box, which I also made with my Silhouette Cameo. The tag set includes an adorable Santa, a Snowman, a Penguin and a Polar Bear that can be purchased individually from the Silhouette Design Store, or you can purchase them all together in a Christmas Tag Bundle at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

These are easy to assemble and are so much fun to put together! A touch of felt and glitter really makes the designs “pop.”

Using papers from the Echo Park “A Perfect Winter” Collection, I made a sweet little box to house the tags. These are perfect for gift giving, but I’ve decided to keep these cuties for myself! When the tags have been used, I will use the box to hold to store ornaments until next year. The box is actually a Candy Box with removable insert compartments that have a sweet scalloped edge. The Candy Box and can be found in the Silhouette Design Store along with the Compartment Inserts, or, you can purchase the Candy Box at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. I enlarged the Box a little bit to house the tags. To do this, simply group all of the pieces together before enlarging. The lid has a clear acetate insert so I can see how many tags I have left.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed my Holiday Tag Set.

Happy Crafting!

Cutting Acetate with the Silhouette Tutorial by Tya

Hi friends – today I am here to show you a fun technique using acetate! I am a sucker for cute packaging so when I was pondering about what to do my tutorial on for this month I knew I wanted to share this one with you. I decided to do a couple of colorful St. Patrick’s Day Favors to show off this technique. It just wouldn’t be the same if you couldn’t see the Skittles and Gold Coins that these boxes hold, so when you really want to show off what is inside your packaging or if your treats fit a holiday or a theme like my treats do, acetate is the way to go!  It may seem basic and easy, but it is so fun to use something other than cardstock and pattern paper when using our digital cutting machines.

 

I use this brand of acetate (also know as transparency film) for my projects. It cuts beautifully in my Silhouette machine.  Apollo Transparency Film

Apollo® Plain Paper Copier Transparency Film, Clear, 8 1/2in.(W) x 11in.(H), 100/Box
Here are the steps to my project –
1- Open up Silhouette program.
2- Find the 2 box cut files and place them in the workspace.
When deciding what boxes to use from Lori’s library – I chose to use 2 of my favorite boxes to use with acetate. I love these boxes because they require no gluing – which can be tricky with acetate because a lot of the adhesives show through so these boxes were perfect. I used the Santa Petal box (minus the “santa” parts) and the No Glue Gable Box.I used some of Lori’s darling Hang Tags well.

3- Since the acetate is fairly thick, I used the textured cardstock settings (Blade Depth 6, Cutting speed 3, Thickness 33. I also checked the Double Cut box to make sure that the cuts are nice and deep and this also helps when you go to fold up the boxes.

So my challenge to you is to go pick up some of this fun medium from your local office supply store and try your hand at this fun technique. Thank you for stopping by!
