Dream Big Little One Light Box with Anita

Anita here with a quick tutorial to use some of Lori’s adorable phrase files in a fun and different way.  I used the file called Dream Big Little One 2 which you can find here in Lori’s wonderful shop and here in the Silhouette store.  I used files similar to these to embellish some baby onesies.  When I found this box at a craft store I knew I could make something cute with it.  I used Lori’s brand new Echo Park Collection called Perfect Princess.  It is a very sweet line.

Here are the materials for this project.  I used some fun milk paint which was so soft and pretty, and some Mod Podge at the end to seal my letters, stars and moon onto the project.

Here is a photo of the top of the box.

Here is a photo of the front of the box.  You can see how cute this paper line is.

This is a photo of the top of the box with the light on.  It runs on two AA batteries.

That’s it for me today.  Be sure to check out Lori’s store for this and many other amazing cut files.

Hugs,

Anita

Our family had a magical vacation in June. Please excuse if I over share here with all the layouts. I am just getting started. Here is the first page!

 

I used Go, See, Explore Collection from Echo Park designed by Lori.  This collection has so many great elements to use for any travel album or project. You will love it!  I also used a Life Template and Lori’s Perfect Print Font and Swirl Font.  I hope you are having a terrific summer, and I hope that you take a few moments to document your memories.

4th of July Firecracker with Anita

Anita here today with a tutorial on how to make Lori’s 3D Firecracker.  You can find this file in her SVG shop here and here in the Silhouette Store.  I also used some parts of the 5X7 Box Card July 4th to add to the embellishments of my project.  You can find that file  here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Store.  I love to mix and match Lori’s Echo Park collections on my projects and used I Love Winter and Go See Explore.

Here are the materials that I used for my project.

The firecracker wick is perforated so that you can fold the wick into a small square and then put it through the hole.

Next you are going to fold the tabs back and glue them to the inside of the cover of the tube.

Here is what is looks like from the front.

Next, fold down the tabs on the cover piece and glue them to one of the circles.  One of the extra red circles gets glued to the inside of the top to hide the tabs and glue.

Here is a photo of the Stickles that I put on the edges of the wick.

Repeat the process for the tube body.  This photo shows the red circle inside and I love the finished look.

Here is a close up photo of the embellishments.  I used the 4th of July circle from the box card.

That’s it for me today.  This is so cute and you can fill it with candy or leave it empty and on your table for a holiday centerpiece.

Hugs,

Anita

I hope you are having a great April so far. If you are thinking ahead a little bit, you might have graduations coming soon.  I’m thinking a little more ahead; I won’t have a graduate until next May, but I just love the new Graduation Sentiments from Lori.

I have so many ideas to use these phrases.  The bundle includes 9 phrases in SVG and PNG format.  You can use them as cutting files for cards or posters. You can use them in digital layouts like I have done below.  And another fun idea is to load the PNG files to your favorite printer to add to a Photobook.  I tested Persnickety Prints website, and the Phrases work perfectly in all the options of books or collages. Using the phrases and your favorite pictures, you could create a beautiful gift for your favorite Graduate.

So hop on over to get the phrases, and don’t forget to add the free Owl that is available this week with purchase.

Besides the Graduation Phrases, I used the following files:

Mod Papers Turquoise

Camera from I Love Family Element Pack 1

Soccer ball from That’s My Boy

Life Template SQ set 10

Have a great weekend and happy creating.
