Oh Deer, It’s Christmas Again

Hi everyone!  I have a fun card to share with you today, you can find the file here in Lori’s Shop or here in Silhouette Online Design Store.  It is Lori’s Reindeer Pop dot card.  Is he not the cutest?  There are a 6 different Christmas themed pop dot cards in Lori’s shop but I just fell in love with this little guy.  The card went together in no time and turned out so cute. The little tag is from Lori’s Echo Park The Magic Of Christmas Collection .

I hope you find time to create this week and give these cute pop dot cards a try!

Christmas Shaker Card Tutorial

Hello everyone and Happy National Button Day! Traci here and yep … there’s actually a day that celebrates these little fasteners. I wanted to incorporate them into my project and I knew Lori would have something wonderful. I found a cutting file for an embellishment called Shaker Mason Jar and I turned it into a cute holiday card. Here’s a quick tutorial on how I made it …

For supplies, I used the Shaker Mason Jar cutting file (SVG, Silhouette) and Echo Park’s beautiful holiday collection called Magic of Christmas (also designed by Lori). I used the 6×6 paper, the 12×12 sticker sheet, white card stock, buttons and twine.

To create the A2 size card, I cut out a piece of white card stock measuring 8.5”x 5.5” and scored it at 4.25”.  

Then using the file and my Silhouette Cameo machine, I cut out all the other pieces. I chose the red snowflake print called Poinsettias & Pine for the jar and the green dot from the 3×4 journaling cards for the lid.

To make the shaker part, I cut out the ovals and glued them together until I had enough to make a frame thick enough to allow my buttons to move around.

I sandwiched a piece of 2.5” x 3.25” clear acetate in between my white jar base and the red inset piece I cut from the 6×6 paper.

I glued the oval frame to the back of the jar pieces, added my buttons, then glued the solid white oval piece on top to keep the buttons in.

Next, I took my white card base and layered 2 sheets of 6×6 paper in dark green and stripe on top and added the jar shaped shaker. I wrapped the lid with chunky red twine and included a cute sentiment sticker to finish it off. It’s the perfect card for someone special and I just love it! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ll visit Lori’s shop for more amazing craft ideas!

5×7 Box Card House Merry Christmas Tutorial

Hi everyone!  Cathy here today to share a box card tutorial with you.  I’m always telling you that Lori’s box cards and envelope cards are my favorites to create, so I thought I would share my process for putting them together.  So easy and they are loved by everyone that receives them.  This is Lori’s new 5×7 Box Card House Merry Christmas (SVG, Silhouette).  The file also includes an envelope.  Remember, these fold flat for mailing and pop right back up for display.

Here is how the file looks when you first open it, I always ungroup everything and separate by color.  It make it easier for me to see what I need for paper and also how to arrange paper on my mat.          

You can see how I sorted everything out here.  Then I go back, group and cut my pieces.

After all your pieces are cut, fold the score lines on the red house pieces.
Next, I laid all my pieces out…flattened my red pieces and started to adhere the embellishments to the box.  I find easier to work with when it’s flat on a work surface. I used a glue pen for most of this detail work.
I start with adhering the gold window pieces to the inside of the house.
After I had most of the embellishments added, I then added scor- tape to the two ends.  You want a good strong adhesive to put these together.
So now you have created a little box or your little house and you are ready to add the inserts!
There are several of these house box cards in Lori’s shop, and I love that the little inserts make the roof, how incredibly clever.  The inserts are labeled 1 and 2.  The first insert just goes in as is.  Just add scor-tape on each side and insert into the box.  The cool part with these is you can’t go wrong as the roof line makes for perfect placement.
Now for the second insert, lay it flat and add your embellishments.  Again, I used a glue pen for this detail work.
This insert gets a bit heavier with all the extra paper added, so it has wider tab.  I added two strips of scor-tape for this insert.  Then just slide it down into the box, again you can’t go wrong cause the roof top will stop you.!

 

When you are all finished, you have this amazing little house.  I used Lori’s The Magic of Christmas to create this.  The Merry Christmas is from the brad set.  I did add the Santa in the Chimney Sticker for this collection.  I just simply couldn’t resist.  It was just too perfect not to add it.  Lol.
And don’t forget, all SVG files in Lori’s SVG shop are 30% off through Saturday, November 12th when you use code NOV2022 at checkout!

Christmas Penguin Side Step Card

Hello crafty friends! I love penguins and this little guy just makes my heart melt because he’s so cute!! This is the Side Step Card Christmas Penguin (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette) and if you are looking for fun and fast cards to make for your Christmas cards then the side step cards are just what you’re looking for! A few simple cuts, a few simple folds, adhere some snow, trees and a penguin and you’re done! And if you have another minute or two you can add some matching sequins.

If you’ve noticed the sentiment is different that’s because it is! A small trick…if the sentiment is not the one you wanted you can always change it out with the print and cuts. Just delete the sentiment that comes with the file and change it out with a sentiment from another file. Here is a tutorial to show you how. Or you can do what I did, simply cut the snow piece out (without a sentiment) and use your stamps!

Thanks for stopping by today!
