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!

Accordion Fold Dad Card

Hi there friends! I am sharing a different take on the Dad accordion Fold Card (SVG, This file is coming soon to the Silhouette Store). The original is darling with the little tools but I have an outdoor loving father in law that will enjoy getting this camping themed card. I just love a card that that can be easily altered with papers and embellishments. I used the Summer Adventure paper collection by Echo Park Paper Co. This card will also fold flat and fit in a A2 envelope.

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

Spring Shaped Cards

Hi there friends! Brandie here sharing some of the new shaped cards for Spring. I made the Frog (SVG, Silhouette), Bee (SVG, Silhouette), and Rose (SVG, Silhouette). You can also find the bundle here (SVG). These little cards are so sweet and would make any recipient smile. I also think these would be a great kids craft. The pieces are easy to assemble and do not need a lot of supplies.

I used two shades of green cardstock and a bubbles embossing folder to give my frog some fun texture.

The patterned paper and stickers are from the Spring Fling collection by Echo Park Paper. I also used a a chevron embossing folder on the yellow sections of the bee.

I got a little fancier with the rose card and turned it into a shaker card. To make the shaker element I used the same technique found in this tutorial by Cathy.  I used various shades of cardstock, a sequin mix, and a Swiss dot embossing folder.

I hope you all have a great day.  Thanks for stopping by and stay safe.

St. Patrick’s Day House Box

Hi there friends! Brandie here with an alternate theme for the Valentine House Box. (SVG, Silhouette) Thi little house comes in a Spring, Halloween, and Christmas version but I wanted a St Patrick’s Day house.  To get this theme I also used the St Patrick’s Day Icons (SVG, Silhouette) and the Shamrock Cluster (SVG, Silhouette).

Once I had everything uploaded into Design Space I went to work deleting the images I wouldn’t be needing. The hearts, mailbox, and banner. I also only used two of the shamrocks and rainbow/pot of gold images.

I then resized the tree to 3.141 inches wide by 5.183 inches high. I flattened the rainbow and cloud together and resized it to 5.5 inches wide by 4.158 inches high. The pot of gold is 1.216 wide by 1.084 high. The gold coins are 1.739 inches wide by .479 high.  I also color coordinated the images to the papers I would be using.

There is already a great tutorial on how to assemble this box that you can find here. The only things I changed was to glue the tree up front and to glue the rainbow to the back of the house.

I love how easy it to alter this  house box. I think it would be cute with a beach theme, an Easter theme, and Fall theme too. If you go to Lori store and search icons the possibilities are endless.

Thanks for stopping by today!
