Christmas Gnome Tags

Hi there friends! Brandie here with an idea for cute Christmas tags. Handmade Christmas tags make a cute addition to any gift and they are quick craft to help get you in the holiday crafting spirit.   I combined the Christmas Gnome Stickers (SVG, Silhouette) which are print and cut…and the tag base from Christmas Tag Snowflakes (SVG, Silhouette) to make these fun tags. I also used a few papers and stickers from the A Lumberjack Christmas Collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

Here are some close-ups…

I hope you enjoy this holiday season and get to do a little crafting! Thanks for stopping by!

Fox Tuxedo Box Card Tutorial

Hi there friends! Brandie here sharing an assembly tutorial for the Tuxedo Box Cards (SVG Bundle). I made the Tuxedo Box Card Fox (SVG, Silhouette). I love this fun twist on the standard box card.

First assemble the decorative elements. Two trees, a fox, leaf, and berries. Then fold the card base on the score lines. Most of the score lines are valley folds. The two mountain folds are for the flaps. Next glue in the inside decorative panels. I ran my inside panels through a Fall leaf embossing folder. Once the panels are secure fold the left side over and add glue to the outside of the tab and fold right side over and press and hold until glue is set.

Then glue the outside decorative panels in place. Fold down the flaps and glue those panels in place. For the insert that the fox is glued on fold the tabs in and apply glue to the outside of the tabs.

While the card is laying flat slide the insert into the card base while holding the glue tab down lining it up to the center fold line. Press down on the card where the tabs are to help secure them. The tabs will be glued to the inside front of the card base. When the card is standing upright the inside tab forms a u shape. Glue the fox into place on the center of the tab. Then glue in the trees and cloud and decorate the front of the box with remaining elements.

I used papers and a couple of stickers from the My Favorite Fall collection by Echo Park Paper.

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

October Mini Album

Hi there crafty friends! We made it to October! Woohoo! Time for cooler weather, pumpkin everything, and spooky fun. The last few years I have created an October daily album for all the cute fun things I have done with my family. Since this year will be scaled back I wanted to create smaller version of an October daily. I used the Circular Pop Up Card (SVG, Silhouette) for a October mini album. (I used pictures from last year for an example.)

I used my sewing machine to stich around all of the cover panels. As I glued the cover panels on I left the tops open to create pockets for tags and extra pictures.

The papers, stickers, and embellishments are from the I Love Halloween collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

I hope you are able to enjoy this Fall season and get a little crafting done too. Thanks for stopping by.

A2 Insert Card Ideas

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a few ideas for some of the new insert cards in Lori’s shop. There is lots of options, endless possibilities, and they are so quick and easy to assemble.  I used the A2 Insert Card Mandala (SVG, Silhouette), A2 Insert Card Flower Spray (SVG, Silhouette), and the A2 Insert Card Cut and Fold Butterfly 4 (SVG, Silhouette).

Once you have the images uploaded in Cricut Design Space you will have to decide which version you want to use. There are three. I used the folded card with the insert.

I ungrouped the images and deleted the flat card version and front cuts version. I also changed the middle score line from a cut to a score line.

I folded the cards at the score line then tucked the insert into the card from the back (inside).

I used white cardstock for the base of all three cards. I used a papers from the I Love Crafting collection by Echo Park Paper for the flower spray card and the butterfly card. I painted the flower spray card with watercolors. For the butterfly card I added sequins to middle of each butterfly for some sparkle.  I used distress oxide inks and gold paint on white cardstock to create the color blend for the mandala card.

These cards really are so quick to assemble, look great as is or embellished, and will make the recipient so happy. That’s it for me today. Thanks for stopping by!

Pop Up Butterfly Card

Happy Monday friends! I am sharing one of the new Pop Up Butterfly Cards (SVG, Silhouette). This card is so pretty and makes a big impact with the large butterfly on the inside. I love how adaptable they are as well. The colors and sentiment can be changed out as you need. I changed the sentiment from Thank You to Hello in Cricut Design Space and cut an extra decorative panel to add to the front of the card.

I used the I’d Rather Be Crafting collection by Echo Park Paper.  Give this card a try. It really is lovely.
Thanks for stopping by!
