Welcome everyone, I hope the New Year is treating you well and you are creating away in your little scrap spaces. I just have a sweet, little winter card to share with you, it’s Lori’s A2 Snowman 3 card or here in the Silhouette Design Store. I guess she’s a snow woman in all the cute pinks from the paper collection. I adore Lori’s new Echo Park Collection Winter Fun. I love all the soft colors and adorable little details. You really need this collection in you winter scrap stash collection.
3D Lantern Belly Snowman
Hi there friends and happy Winter! Did you all survive the holiday? Ready for the next one? I’m not. We are planning a low-key New Years, cozy home party with an early bedtime! Ha!
Today I am sharing the 3D Lantern Belly Snowman (SVG, Silhouette). This cutie is a darling winter decor piece and so easy to assemble. I used papers and a sticker from the Winter Fun collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also added a battery powered light to the inside of the snowman.


Snowman Mini Album
Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a super fun mini album that I made with one of Lori’s fabulous cutting files called Shaped Shadow Box Card Snowman (SVG, Silhouette). What a great little scrapbook for winter photos and a cute handmade Christmas gift idea!
I love creating different projects, scrapbooks, and cards with Lori’s files. With the holiday just around the corner, they make amazing presents and home decor. I always set my projects out on my clear acrylic display stand. Lori is an amazing designer and I think these are little works of art!
Her Shaped Shadow Box Card Snowman file is absolutely adorable with its layered 3D winter scene. I will definitely be making this card soon but for today’s project, I used just his head.
To make the album, I cut the cover out of white acrylic but you could use card stock instead. Then, I used black card stock and patterned papers from Doodlebug Design for the details. I added a few pop dots behind the holly berries and leaves for a little dimension and I think he’s the cutest!
For the inside, I cut 4 snowman shaped pages out of white card stock, giving me 8 layouts to decorate.
I covered the pages in pattern papers from Doodlebug’s Snow Much Fun Collection, then added lots of cute embellishments, flippies, and photo mats. On the page above, I used a 4″ and 3.5″ circle punch by Marvy Uchida to create my mat.
The round snowman’s face allowed me to play with the shape and size of the
photo mats so I varied them for interest. Then, I filled in the extra space around them with die cut pieces.
Speaking of die cuts … how cute are the little penguins above? I placed one underneath the mat so it looks like he’s peeking out from behind it! I made the mat with a 3″ scalloped circle punch and a 2.5″ circle punch.

3D Christmas Barn
Hi everyone! Welcome to the Christmas crafting season and Wow does Lori have tons and tons of new files to create with. I fell in love with this little barn the moment she posted it. You can find it here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Design Store
I used Lori’s new Echo Park Winter Fun Bundle. I adore this collection with the blues and pinks and all the adorable little details…the snowmen, the little bear, fox and so many fun elements. It is just so perfect.
Mug Lighted Shadowbox Tutorial
Hi there! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Mug Lighted Shadowbox Snowman (SVG, Silhouette). This shadowbox would make a great gift or beautiful decoration for the holiday season. I used The Magic of Winter collection by Echo Park Paper Co.
This project was a little bigger than I thought. It stands at eleven inches tall and eight inches wide. I needed four sheets of white cardstock, two sheets of navy, one patterned paper and smaller scraps for the red, orange, and pink elements. I used some ballon lights to light mine, but a short strand of fairy lights will also work.
First, I folded all of the score lines as mountain folds with the navy color facing out. I then glued down the decorative panels to the mug base. The bottom of the mug base has three segments I glued the longest middle tab to the base of the mug to give it a good anchor making sure everything was lined up and straight. After the middle tab was dry, I glued the two shorter tabs to the base. (I thought it might be easier to leave one side open while I added the white panels, it isn’t. Just glue all the tabs.)

I added the white panels to the inside of the mug base. No glue required, they just slide in and sit in the notches that my machine cut. I then glued the top of the mug into place using the same method as the bottom. I folded all the tabs into place for the decorative front. I assembled the cookie, candy cane, and snowman. I added some white highlights to all of my elements with a paint pen. Then glued them into place on the front of the mug.

I added glue to one side tab of the mug base and lined the edges up waiting till everything was dry and secure. Once the tab was dry, I lifted the top to add glue to the remaining tabs and secured the top into place.

I added a few stickers from the collection. I also slipped a few lights into the back to see it lit up.
