Christmas Mini Album

Hi Friends! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas that was warm and safe! Today I am sharing one of the mini albums from the Fabulous Mini Album Bundle (SVG, Silhouette). I haven’t made a December daily album for a few years because they are always so much work and I never seem to be done. So, I decided to scale it down a lot and just make a mini album. Less work, less pressure, but still so fun and cute! I just need to add my pictures and journaling.

 
All of the papers, stickers, and embellishments are from The Magic of Christmas collection by Echo Park Paper Co.
Thanks for stopping by today!

3D Hot Cocoa Mug Santa Tutorial

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Santa (SVG, Silhouette). This little 3D project is a cute treat box that would also make a cute decor piece. I used papers from The Magic of Christmas collection as well as some black, white, and brown cardstock. I also used liquid glue to assemble it.

For the saucer fold all of the score lines in a valley fold. Add glue to the one tab, creating a complete circle with a hexagon shape in the middle.
Add glue to the tabs in the middle of the circle and place the hexagon on top.
On to the mug. With the outside of the cup facing up fold all of the score lines in mountain folds.
All of the panels are the same so it doesn’t matter which one you start with. Add glue to the tabs and using the score lines and the edge of the next panel, line the two panels up together and pinch each tab for a few seconds to secure the glue. Continue around the cup with the same method on all six sides.

Now with the sides all glued together, assemble the Santa on one side of the mug. There are also two shoulders and two beard/hair pieces that attach to the right and the left sides of the Santa. The face is in two layers. The black layer is glued down first then the flesh-colored paper next.

The mustache, pompom, and holly are the finishing touches to Santa.
The handle of the mug is two pieces that are glued together. Be sure not to glue the tabs together.
Fold the tabs out and add glue. Attach the handle to the mug with a corner of the cup in the middle of the tabs.
The lid is also in two parts. For the cocoa/brown part, all of the score lines are folded in mountain folds. And the whipped cream is valley folds.
I decided to glue the whipped cream panels together. But I don’t think it is necessary. Either way, glue the whipped cream to the center of the cocoa and the lid is complete. The lid just slides into the mug with the tabs on the inside of the mug.
Now the mug is ready to fill with a yummy treat! Thanks for stopping by!

Fall Leaves Wreath

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a project that was inspired by a creator on Tik Tok. Joleen Emery makes beautiful paper art and one of my favorites is a heart made with paper feathers.

I wanted a Fall theme for my heart, so I used the 6 Fall Leaves 2 (SVG, Silhouette) and cut out 150 cardstock leaves. For the base I used a 10-inch wooden heart but chipboard, cardboard, or even several layers of cardstock glued together would work. I also cut a small hole in the top of heart to add the twine to hang the wreath. Be sure to add the twine before you start gluing the leaves. With hot glue I glued the leaves onto the heart moving around heart shape and repeating that process until the heart was covered. To finish the wreath off I tied a bow to the twine.

I love how this turned out and have plans to make one with feathers too. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

In All Things Give Thanks Ornament Tutorial

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial for a large Thanksgiving style ornament. I like to hang this type of ornament on the middle of a wreath. I used the In All Things Give Thanks 3 file (SVG, Silhouette).  The other supplies are a 6-inch wood round, heat transfer vinyl, twine, and a wood bead.

I sized the image to 4.463 x 4.301 to fit onto the six-inch round. I then deleted the round and sent the image to cut.

In Cricut Design Space when using heat transfer vinyl, the images must be mirrored for each mat so that the images cut correctly.

After weeding all the words. I dry fit all of my vinyl on the round just to make sure it all fit and to work out the placement. (I did change the word things to the darker color. The gold was just too light.)

Then with my heat press I attached the words to the wood round. I set my press to 300 degrees for 20 seconds. Let the vinyl cool slightly then peeled off the clear backing.

I added a bead to the twine then looped it through the hole in the top of my round.

Last I hung the ornament to the middle of my wreath.

I love how this turned out. It is a perfect addition to this wreath and will look so pretty for Thanksgiving.

Pumpkins Sweets Spooks & Treats Sign

Hi friends! Today I wanted to share a cute little sign I made for my Halloween tiered tray décor. I used the Pumpkins Sweets Spooks & Treats file (SVG, Silhouette). I used my Glowforge laser cutter to engrave the image, but the same look can be achieved with vinyl. This saying would also be really cute on a shirt with iron on vinyl. This sign will be so cute in my kitchen for the spooky season.
