Polar Bear Hot Cocoa Stand Holiday Card

Hello everyone!

Marcia here today. I have a holiday card to share with you today. No, it’s not too late to make and send holiday cards! New Year is a holiday so for me, it’s ok to send a card after Christmas. I love to send holiday cards to friends and family as well as receive them. I especially love a box card that can sit on a tabletop or counter and doubles as home decor. This Hexagon Pop-Up Card Hot Cocoa  Booth With Polar Bear (SVG, Silhouette) cut file can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of holiday cards. I used the new Echo Park Paper The Magic Of Winter collection.

 
Stop by the Lori Whitlock YouTube tutorial for instructions on how to assemble the hexagon pop-up cards. Don’t worry about how you will mail it, because these awesome cards fold flat and fit in an A2 envelope!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by,

Colorful Christmas Tags with Traci

Hey there friends! Traci here and today I’m sharing a project that is something we all use this time of year – gift tags! These are simple, so much fun to make, and add a sweet little handmade touch to your presents. They’re also a quick craft project if you’re short of time this holiday season.

Christmas Handmade Gift Tags


I used Lori’s Essential Christmas Tag Bundle cutting file (SVG, Silhouette: Tree, Snowman, Gift, Snowflake) and it’s awesome! There are 12 designs to choose from and I love them all.

Handmade Christmas Tree Gift Tag

The Christmas tree tag might be my favorite. I added lots of enamel dots in a variety of sizes for the ornaments and included some yellow twine at the top. 

Handmade Snowman Gift Tag

The snowman is so handsome with his plaid scarf and top hat. You could use this one any time during the winter season … like for a birthday, thank you, get well, or thinking of you.

Handmade Gift Tag with present
Tie these colorful tags to a gift bag, a bottle of wine, a basket of goodies, a wrapped box, or maybe a plant or poinsettia you’re giving someone. 

You can also use these in your scrapbooking. Add them to a page for decoration or use the backside for journaling or as a photo mat for small pictures.

Handmade Snowflake Gift Tag

I chose a plain textured card stock for my tags but patterned papers would look great too. Add rhinestones, stickers, die cuts, or any embellishment. Have fun with these!

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

3D Christmas Tree Favor Box Tutorial

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the Lori Whitlock blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box (SVG, Silhouette). This adorable little Christmas tree is perfect for gifting and sure to make your recipient smile.

I used my SIlhouette Cameo 4 to cut the pieces for the 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box. I was able to use paper scraps for the majority of the project. In fact, I only used one piece of “new” paper for the entire project. I used a full-size 12×12 piece of cardstock to cut the pieces to make the tree boxes. Although the file showed the pieces in two different colors of green, I made them the same color. 

 

 

Once all of the pieces were cut, I inked the edges of the patterned paper I used for the tree using Distress Ink.  Next, I used my tape gun to adhere the patterned pieces to the top of the outside tree box as shown below.  (The outside tree box is the bigger of the two green pieces and has two triangles.) Once I had the patterned paper attached, I folded both tree box pieces along the score lines and added adhesive tape to the tabs. Next, I built the two tree boxes by folding along the score lines and attaching the tabs to close the boxes on three sides.

 

Next, I used double-sided adhesive tape to stack the three red circles to create the tree skirt base for the 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box. Then, I built the brown tree trunks using the same method as the tree boxes. Once I folded along the score lines and added adhesive, I put the two tree trunks together. The larger of the two serves as the base, so once I finished putting it together, I adhered it to the center of the red circles.
Before adding my decorations to the front of the tree, I used adhesive tape to attach the second, smaller brown box to the base of the inside tree box. Finally, I used the stars from the cut file along with enamel dots to decorate the front of the tree. If you don’t want to use enamel dots, you can always use the circles that come in the cut file instead.
 

Until next time,

Michelle, aka the Bookish Designer

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!
