Summer Fruit Shaped Cards

Some of my favorite cards to create with Lori’s files are her shape cards, especially for my granddaughter.  She loves to receive mail and I try to send a card to her every couple of weeks with a bit of spending cash.  These are two cards that will be coming her way, bright and fun for summertime.  Both have just a couple of stickers from Lori’s Echo Park collection A Slice of Summer.  It’s one of my all-time favorite collections and I am always reaching for little bits and pieces of it to create with….it’s a must-have.

First, I have one of her new cherry cards. How cute is this?!  It is the Cherry Carton A2 Shaped Card  or you can find it here in the Silhouette Design Store.  I just love this little card, it’s so bright and cheery!  I used sketch pens to outline the basket, kind of hard to see here, and little hearts onto a couple of the cherries!

My next card continues with the fruit theme… this fun A2 Shaped Strawberry Card in Lori’s shop or here in the Silhouette Design Store.  Love the little hearts in the design of this file, so cute.  I added some stitch lines with a sketch pen to the top of the strawberry and a couple of stickers from the Slice of Summer collection. The perfect summer cards.

There are several strawberry and cherry card designs to choose from, go check them out!

Box Card Cherry Carton Tutorial

Hi there friends! Have you seen all the new cherry themed projects in Loris’s store yet? So darling! Let’s make the new Box Card Cherry Carton (SVG, Silhouette-soon to be in the store!).

I used papers from the Down on the Farm Collection by Echo Park Paper Co. Once I had everything cut out, I inked the edge of the cherries, flower, and decorative panels. I then glued the all the panels and cherries in place. The first insert has four cherries, and the second insert has three. The two tabs on the ends of the box pieces are mountain folds and then glued together creating the box.

Now to add the inserts. The tabs are valley folds, and the glue is applied to the outside of the tab (the side that is going against the inside of the box card). I lined up the front of the tabs with the front of the inside of the box and the top of the tabs with the top of the box card.

Before the glue is dry, I fold the box card flat making sure it will fold flat all the way.

I use the same process for the second insert except I line the tabs up to the back of the first insert and the top of the box card.

Lastly, I glued the sentiment and the flower to the front of the card.

Now the card is ready to send! Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a cherry good day!

Surfing Van Box Card

Hi Everyone! For my project today I made the Surfing Van Box Card, (SVG, Silhouette). I used some patterned paper and stickers from Echo Park’s Endless Summer designed by Lori which was absolutely perfect for this card. These box cards are so simple to put together and definitely a favorite for those who receive them. This one is great for someone who is going on vacation or just spending a special day at the beach!

For help putting this together, there is a general assembly for shaped box cards here.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

3D Camper Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here and I’m ready to share a tutorial on how to assemble the ever so adorable 3D Camper Father’s Day file (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette).  As you can see this is clearly not a Father’s Day camper but a Summer camper. It really could be made for any season or occasion. So kick your flip flops off at the door and come on in my sweet camper and let me tell you how I made this!

To get started I picked out some beautiful papers from Echo Park Paper’s  A Slice of Summer collection and cut out all of the pieces.

Before I started assembly of the camper I adhered some of the pattern paper pieces to it. Start by folding on the score lines as it helps guide where to adhere the bottom camper pieces. For the windows, adhere the light blue pieces on the inside of the camper and then the curtains will fit just inside the boxes on the camper shell.

Then adhere the outside frames to the windows and door.

Next you will want to adhere the tabbed pieces to the main body of the camper piece. Lay pieces out and adhere them just as shown in the picture below.

Lift these pieces up until they meet and adhere them together. Next use your hands to shape these pieces to the contour of the camper shape and then add your adhesive to the solid tab on one side and every small tab piece on one side and adhere it to the main body piece of the camper. When that side is dry adhere the other side down.

The last piece is the hitch. The main piece is simply folding it and adhering the two pieces that are similar with one over lapping the other. Take the other piece (rectangle) and roll it up on the handle of a small paint brush. Adhere the end and roll it over to keep the entire piece adhered together. Then adhere the two pieces together.

Then adhere the completed piece to the bottom of the camper.

And now your camper is complete and ready for some embellishments. I found some butterfly stickers in my collection and sprinkled them around because that’s how it is in my perfect camping world! LOL!!

Use this as a happy decoration in your camper or as a centerpiece at a Summer BBQ…how cute would that be? This is fairly good size of decoration that measures 8.50″ tall and about 8″ wide and I promise you it will stand out no matter what you use it for.

That’s all from me today…how you all enjoy!
