Ghost Gift Set with Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a cute gift set for Halloween.  I made the Ghost Center  Step Card (Silhouette, SVG).  You can find a tutorial for this card here.

I used paper from the Echo Park – I Love Halloween Collection that Lori designed.  The card comes with a print and cut sentiment but I used one from the Frames and Tags that match the collection.

I also made this cute coordinating Handle Box (Silhouette, SVG).

I plan to fill this little box with some goodies and mail it off along with the card as a treat for one of my college kids.  They love getting surprises.

Thanks so much 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.

Haunted House Centerpiece

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share the Halloween project I created using  Lori’s Haunted House Centerpiece (SVG, Silhouette). 

This cute, but spooky Haunted House measures about 13″ tall by 7.25″ wide when cut at original size, which is what I used.  However, you can scale the file up or down as desired. Lori also includes optional covering panels for the sides of the haunted house to add some additional flair to the project.  I took advantage of those extras and included gray polka-dot cardstock panels on my version of the Haunted House.  In addition, I sanded the edges of the gray panels to create a more weathered look.

After sanding the pumpkins a little, I used foam tape to adhere them to the fence that goes around the house.  I used foam tape on the ghosts as well.  For the finally touches, I tucked the spider under the webbing on the roof and added orange brads to the doors.

I found the project to be fairly easy to put together once I had all the pieces cut.  However, Lori has a great tutorial for this project on her YouTube channel.  Lori gives some great tips for this project in her tutorial, including how you can adjust the file to be able to add a tea light candle inside the house.  I wish I had watched it before I started!

In addition to the Haunted House Centerpiece, Lori has several 3D projects for Halloween that would work really well with the Haunted House to create a spooky scene including the 3D Haunted House Bundle (available as individual files in the Silhouette Design Store).  I can’t wait to pick them up and continue building my Haunted Village for Halloween.

Until next time,

Michelle

Witch Hat Handle Box Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. Are you one of those people that go all out for Halloween? I love decorating for Halloween! Since it’s almost October, I thought I would share a Halloween treat box with you today. This Witch Hat Handle Box can be found here (SVG / Silhouette ). I used the Echo Park I Love Halloween paper collection also designed by Lori for my box.

Let me show you how I put it all together. First select your papers and cut everything out. Before assembling, I like to ink the white edges of my pattern papers with ink. I do this with cardstock too if it has a white core.

When making a box, I prefer to adhere the panels to the box before folding on score lines and gluing the sides shut.

To add glitter to the witch hat star and buckle cut file pieces, run them through a sticker maker face down. You want the glue on the front side. I like to use a bone folder to rub across the back side of the pieces making sure all the glue transfers to the paper.

Sprinkle the glue side with glitter, or press the glue side down into the glitter in a container.

Assemble the witch hat and adhere to the front of the box along with the Eat If You Dare print and cut label. Fill with your favorite candy before gluing the handle together, a glue dot works well.   I love adding bling to projects to make them extra special!

There are four new Halloween themed handle treat boxes in Lori’s Shop and the Silhouette Store giving you lots of options. Go check them all out! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Halloween Styled Mother’s Day Hat Box Tutorial

Happy Fall Everyone:

I fell in love with Lori’s new Echo Park Paper collection called I Love Halloween and knew that I wanted to use it for a Halloween project.  We are going to be making the Mother’s Day Hat Box which you can find here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  This is a fun and easy box to put together.  Let me show you how I did it.

Here are the parts all cut out.  I used my Silhouette Rotary Blade to cut the flowers.   It cut the felt beautifully !

You are going to take your two long rectangle tabbed pieces and fold the tabs down.

Next you are going to glue the tabbed end of the rectangle piece to the other end making a circle.  One strip is slightly longer than the other.  The longer one will form the cover, the shorter one the bottom of the box

The file comes with four round circles. The two slightly smaller ones are for the box base.  The two slightly larger are for the cover.   One is glued inside the box and one is glued on top of the box.  I like to glue my inside circle in first as I find it is easier to ease it to fit.  Then I glue the top of the box on.  I use a wet glue when making projects like this where I am asking the paper to be in different shapes.

I made both boxes and then checked to make sure that one slid easily over the top.  I then glued the top on the box and the decorative band around the bottom.

I then glued the bottom of the box onto the scalloped piece centering it.

I brought the ends of the bow pieces on both sides to the center back of the bow and glued it together well.  Then I wrapped the center bow piece around the bow and glued that as well.

I then added the ribbons of the bow to the back of the bow.

Here are my rolled felt flowers.  I cut them easily with my Silhouette Cameo 4 and the rotary blade.  I started at the end of the flower and rolled them up and secured them well with wet adhesive.  (for a rolled flower tutorial see this post)  Be sure that you don’t put your flowers in the way of the box being able to be opened and closed easily.   I added some embellishments to my box and rolled some of the leaves to give them a bit more dimension.

Lastly, here is the box open with some Halloween candy for your favorite sweetie.  I have my hat out as a Halloween decoration and it makes me smile when I look at it.

That’s it for me today.  Be sure to check out all of Lori’s Halloween SVG files and don’t forget all SVGS, Fonts, Pattern Fills and Commercial Licenses are 30% off through Saturday when you use code SEP2020 at checkout!

Hugs,
