Valentine Gift Set SVG Files

Hello crafters! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and this past Tuesday was National Pie Day, so … I found a little inspiration for today’s project by combining the two! I created a cute cherry-themed card and a pie-shaped gift box using a couple of Lori’s fun cutting files.Valentine's Day Cherry Card & Gift Box Tutorial

These would make the “sweetest” gift. You could fill the box with candy, a gift certificate, jewelry, a small toy, money, love notes, or clues to a treasure hunt.

First, here’s how I made the pie slice box …

Valentine's Day Cherry Pie Gift Box Tutorial

I used the cutting file called 3D Cherry Pie Slice (SVG, Silhouette). I cut out all of my pieces and then folded them along the score lines. The small notches on the pieces allow the shapes to bend easily to create the pie’s shape. I chose a red paper with hearts (Bella Blvd’s Bestie Hearts & Ombre in McIntosh).

I used a liquid glue to adhere the red “cherry” portion of the pie-shaped box together. Then, I added a base inside made out of Bazzill Kraft card stock.

For the lid, I repeated the process that I did for the base. Then, I layered the red “cherry” filling piece, the kraft lattice piece, and finally … the scalloped crust piece. I used a piece of foam tape under that for some dimension. I added the cute cherry and some lime twine and the box was complete!

Next up, is the cherry card …

For this one, I used the cutting file called Pop Up Box Card Valentine Cherry (SVG, Silhouette). I cut out my pieces and layered all of the pattern pieces before assembling the card. I used Bazzill Kraft card stock, white card stock, and a cherry-patterned paper from Doodlebug’s Bar-B-Cute Collection.

As you can see above … the band of the card attaches to the left and right sides only, leaving the center of the band free of adhesive. This allows the card to fold and pop open easily.

Next, I glued the two remaining pop-up elements inside the band as shown above. I used a cute red polka dot paper from Doodlebug’s petite print dot & stripe for the hearts.

And … they’re done! My cute cherry-themed Valentine’s Day card and Cherry Pie Slice Gift Box are ready for gifting. Well, that was easy! I just love Lori’s cutting files.

Pop Up Box Card School Bus Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I have a fun card to share with you today, just a few simple steps and you will have a card that pops up and delights your recipient.  There are lots and lots of these pop-up box cards to choose from in Lori’s Shop and in the Silhouette Online Design Store.  You can find the card here in Lori’s Shop or here in Silhouette Design Store. You can find the video assembly tutorial HERE.
The first thing that I like to do with Lori’s files is separate everything by color.  She colors all of her files and it just makes it just so dang simple.  So, I just take a few seconds to ungroup the file and sort my pieces by color for ease of cutting and then it is easier to assemble everything.  Once you’ve got it all cut out, we are ready to assemble.
First, start with your red card base and do one peak and one valley fold.
It will look like this.
Next, add your blue panels.
Now it’s time to add the gray road, this is the piece that makes your card pop up.  You are going to fold on the two score lines.
You can take a few minutes here to create your embellishments of the bus, apple, and pencil. I just used a glue pen to assemble these smaller detail pieces.
Glue your bus onto the gray road piece.
Now, we are ready to add our road to our card base.  Remember, we want this to pop up….so we are only going to put adhesive on the left side and right sides…just like in the picture below.  Just those two spots of adhesive.
Now you have your road added, you can see that the pop-up and where we are going to add are to other elements of the pencil and apple.  Just fold the tabs on each and add adhesive.  Here’s a link to Lori’s video on these pop-up cards on YouTube.  Pop Card You Tube

 

With the adhesive on each tab, you can add both the little pop-ups in just seconds.
And bam, just like that…you have the cutest little bus card.  Now I did leave the back-to-school saying out and added a little sun sticker that I had, just because it’s not back-to-school time.  Thought my granddaughter might enjoy the little sun!
Thanks for checking out this tutorial!

And check out this amazing card and tutorial from Marcia!

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I’ve been busy making more Christmas cards to send out to family and friends. Lori designed a new The First Noel Christmas collection and I thought it would be a great idea to use the sentiment phrase ephemera pieces instead of using the print and cut feature in Silhouette. This would also speed up my cardmaking, a huge plus right now! I used the Pop Up Three Wisemen Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) cut file along with the coordinating solid pattern paper from the collection. When the card is closed for mailing it is completely flat.

When open, it can stand up by itself. The middle pops out to form a box with a dimensional city scene and star of Bethlehem.

Let me show you how I created mine.

  1. Cut out all the pieces from desired cardstock and pattern papers. I used some Black Soot ink to darken the bottom and middle panel of the blue pattern paper pieces using an ink blending tool.

2.  Assemble the panels and box card inserts. The city scene can be left as is, or add another layer of color on top.

3. I wanted my Star of Bethlehem to really sparkle so I added some gold glitter gel. This needs to dry before you attempt to assemble the card.

4. Glue the panel with the wisemen to the card front about .5″ from the bottom of the card lining up the edges on the left side. The opposite end of the panel is then adhered to the far right .5″ from the bottom lining up the edges on the right side. The middle panel should fold the opposite of the card base to form a box.

5. Insert the city scene inside the box lining up the tabs to the top of the panel and adhere. Then glue the Star of Bethlehem insert behind.

Lori has lots of Christmas card ideas in her shop. Go check them all out and have some fun making your own Christmas cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
