Fall Decorated Gift Bag

Happy Monday everyone!  If you haven’t looked recently, Lori has created a number of new box & bag cut files.  I love these files because they can be decorated for any occasion!  I made the new Gift Bag with Magnet Velcro Handle (SVG, Silhouette) to hold a gift card for a friend.  I decorated it with one of the new flowers, Rolled Flower 48 (SVG, Silhouette) for a fun fall look.

I love how the flower looks like a fall chrysanthemum!  I used Echo Park’s My Favorite Fall Collection to piece this all together.  For more gift packaging ideas, check out the new Bag Box and Gift Card Holder Bundle in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!

All of these files are also available individually in Lori’s SVG Shop and in the Silhouette Store.  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Tea Cup Box Card Cut File Assembly Tutorial

Have you seen all of the fun shaped box cards in the Lori Whitlock SVG & Silhouette Shops?  They look so pretty, and really are easy to assemble.  I fell in love with the new Teacup Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) and made a fall version using papers from Lori’s new My Favorite Fall Collection from Echo Park.  Shaped box cards are assembled in the same basic manner a Lori’s original box cards.  The difference is what makes up the “box”.

I started by cutting all of the pieces for this card…

Next, I glued the flower pieces to the inserts and the 3 solid decorative panels to the tea cup “box” base.  Do not glue the piece with slots onto the base at this point, the handle needs to be added before it is glued.

Next, assemble the handle.  Start by folding back the tabs at the ends of each handle and glue the two handle pieces together making sure not to glue the tabs.  Insert the tabs through the slots of the covering panel.  Flip the panel over, fold the tabs back and glue in place.  Then glue the panel to the card base.

Complete the card base by folding it into a “box” shape and gluing, tab inside.

The last part of the assembly is to add the inserts to the teacup “box.”  They are done in the same manner as the box cards in this video.  Fold the tabs back, and glue the number 2 insert into the cup.  The tabs should be flush with the top of the “cup” and touching the back wall of the cup.

Next add the number 1 insert in front of the number 2 insert..  The folded tabs should also be flush with the top of the cup.

It really makes such a pretty card!  It could be used for a birthday, friends or just because!

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Baby Shoe Cut File Tutorial

Looking for a really cute Baby Shower Favor?  How about this adorable little Baby Shoe (SVG, Silhouette).    

This little shoe is easy to assemble and can be made in any color to match your shower theme! 
Start out by cutting the pieces.  You have 2 bottom pieces (each the same size) and the top of the shoe.

On the “wrong” side of one of the bottom pieces, I measured up about one inch from the heel and drew a line. (the bottom pieces both have a wider end which is the top of the shoe, and a narrower end which is the heel.)  You don’t need to do this part, I just found it easier to place where to start gluing on the shoe top.

Starting at the 1″ mark, glue the top of the shoe to the bottom piece going in the direction of the top of the shoe.

Continue all the way around the shoe, making sure there are no gaps.   When  you  are  done, there will be an overlap of one tab.

Add a little adhesive in the overlap of the top piece and secure.

Add the second bottom piece to the bottom of the shoe to cover the tabs.

All that is left is to glue the shoe strap  down and decorate!  I added a button to the strap and a little bow to the shoe top.  Now to fill it with a sweet treat!

This tutorial will also help with the assembly of the Explosion Box Baby Shoes File (SVG, Silhouette).  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
