Perpetual Celebration Calendar Tutorial

Happy Thursday Everyone:

Anita here today with a tutorial for a Perpetual Celebration Calendar.  I have a perpetual calendar which I have been using for years and wanted to replace it with something more fun.  I decided to buy a rolodex and found some great files in Lori’s store that I used to create the pages for my calendar.  I used Memorydex Scalloped Cards (SVG, Silhouette) and used all three included shapes.  Male birthdays got the rectangle shape which can be found in the 4 Cute Tags file (SVG, Silhouette).  I  used 4 Scalloped Shapes (SVG, Silhouette) as the date reminder tags that went on the female birthday cards.  And I used the Nested Hearts file (SVG, Silhouette) for the anniversary cards. For the files without the punch holes in the bottom, I used a memorydex punch to add them.   Please note that each card also has an extra layer on the back of cardstock to give it a bit more stability and to help it to be more stable on the rolodex holder as it spins.

I used the Memorydex Box and Cards (SVG, Silhouette) for the month tab cards.  You can find a tutorial to make the Memorydex Box and Cards here on Lori’s blog.  I also used the Month 4X6 Journaling Cards (SVG, Silhouette)  I resized them to fit on the card and then cut them out.  I did my editing of this file on my Silhouette.   I decorated the cards with ephemera from my stash.

That’s it for me today.  I love how this came out and now each  month I get to flip the pages to see who I will be celebrating that month.

Hugs,

Anita

Bag Topper Halloween Projects with Anita

Hi Everyone:

Happy Halloween week.  I fell in love with these adorable Halloween bag toppers that Lori shared last week.  They are the easiest project I have ever made!  The whole file is a print and cut project.  It took me no time at all to create these five cute favors for my friends.  If you need a last minute party idea or gift for a special someone, then these should be your go to item.  They are called Bag Topper Halloween and I used the following  five of the eight that are available.  You can buy them as a bundle here in Lori’s store, or individually with the links below.

4 Drawer Organizer Tutorial with Anita

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a tutorial to create this adorable four drawer organizer.  I am going to show you how to put this cutie together and was thinking that you could customize them for every season.  I am going to put chocolates into mine and give it to a friend.  You can find the 4 Drawer Organizer cut file here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used one of my favorite Echo Park Lori Whitlock designed paper lines called Sweet Baby Girl.Here is a screen shot of the cut files on my mat.  You will need to cut four of the outer box and the inner box as noted in black bold type near the boxes cut files.

Here are the pieces that you will have once you have cut everything for your project.

I always start my projects by folding the score lines as you can see by the photo above.

For the inner box you are going to want to glue the tabs from the back of the box to the side of the box.

Next you will glue the back flap into the box.

Next you will glue down the front flap into the box.

Lastly, you will glue in to the box the two last flaps and your inner box is done.

Now onto the outer box.

There are flaps along the bottom of the box cut file and you will be gluing the tabbed pieces together and leaving the flaps alone for now.


Here you can see that I have started to glue together the tabs on the outside box and am ready to glue the last side onto the box with the flaps left alone for now.


Here you can see that I glued together the last part of the box and the flaps are open and at the top.  They are going to get glued into the box and will make a lovely clean box with smooth insides which allows the inner box to slide easily in and out.

And that is how you put together both of the boxes.  Next, you will stack the four outer boxes two by two and glue them all together.  Make sure that you put enough glue to hold them together.  Lastly, you are going to glue on your accent pieces to finish off your box.  You could also add any cute embellishments that you want.

Hugs,

Anita

Teacher Gift Set with Corri Garza

Hi everyone!  Corri here today and I’m so excited to be designing again with Lori’s awesome files.


It’s back to school time for my kids so I made a cute gift set for my daughter to take her teacher on the first day of school.

I created my card by cutting the “Best Teacher Ever” (SVG, Silhouette) file and then backing it with black card stock.  I added a couple of stickers and Pufffy Heart stickers to finish it off.

To complete my set, I cut the Apple of my Eye Favor Box.(SVG, Silhouette) This quick and easy box will make a great gift filled with either a some candy or some small school supplies for the teacher.

I hope you enjoyed with cute project today.  Be sure to stop by Lori’s SVG shop to see all the new files that were added this week!  Thanks so much for stopping by.
