Halloween Styled Mother’s Day Hat Box Tutorial

Happy Fall Everyone:

I fell in love with Lori’s new Echo Park Paper collection called I Love Halloween and knew that I wanted to use it for a Halloween project.  We are going to be making the Mother’s Day Hat Box which you can find here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  This is a fun and easy box to put together.  Let me show you how I did it.

Here are the parts all cut out.  I used my Silhouette Rotary Blade to cut the flowers.   It cut the felt beautifully !

You are going to take your two long rectangle tabbed pieces and fold the tabs down.

Next you are going to glue the tabbed end of the rectangle piece to the other end making a circle.  One strip is slightly longer than the other.  The longer one will form the cover, the shorter one the bottom of the box

The file comes with four round circles. The two slightly smaller ones are for the box base.  The two slightly larger are for the cover.   One is glued inside the box and one is glued on top of the box.  I like to glue my inside circle in first as I find it is easier to ease it to fit.  Then I glue the top of the box on.  I use a wet glue when making projects like this where I am asking the paper to be in different shapes.

I made both boxes and then checked to make sure that one slid easily over the top.  I then glued the top on the box and the decorative band around the bottom.

I then glued the bottom of the box onto the scalloped piece centering it.

I brought the ends of the bow pieces on both sides to the center back of the bow and glued it together well.  Then I wrapped the center bow piece around the bow and glued that as well.

I then added the ribbons of the bow to the back of the bow.

Here are my rolled felt flowers.  I cut them easily with my Silhouette Cameo 4 and the rotary blade.  I started at the end of the flower and rolled them up and secured them well with wet adhesive.  (for a rolled flower tutorial see this post)  Be sure that you don’t put your flowers in the way of the box being able to be opened and closed easily.   I added some embellishments to my box and rolled some of the leaves to give them a bit more dimension.

Lastly, here is the box open with some Halloween candy for your favorite sweetie.  I have my hat out as a Halloween decoration and it makes me smile when I look at it.

That’s it for me today.  Be sure to check out all of Lori’s Halloween SVG files and don’t forget all SVGS, Fonts, Pattern Fills and Commercial Licenses are 30% off through Saturday when you use code SEP2020 at checkout!

Wedding Anniversary Card

Hi Everyone:

It’s my 35th wedding anniversary today and I made this card for my wonderful husband to celebrate our love.  We had a wonderful European cruise planned to celebrate but given these uncertain times we had to cancel.  We are looking forward to trying again in 2021.  In the meantime, we plan a quiet celebration.  I have no idea where the time has gone though.  I used Lori’s Pop Out Card Heart which you can find here in her SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I also used Whole Heart Whole Life Saying which you can find here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store for my sentiment.  I used Lori’s new Echo Park Paper line called All Boy to create the card.  This card folds flat and fits nicely into an A2 envelope.

I took the Whole Heart Whole Life sentiment and shrunk it to fit in the center of my heart.  I then grouped that together and used it as a print and cut sentiment with the registration marks turned on in my Silhouette Cameo.  When I went to cut the heart out after it was printed, I ungrouped it and moved the sentiment off the mat.  I cut out the heart and it came out perfect.

My husband really appreciates home made cards and in this time where it is harder to get out to buy what we want, don’t forget that Lori has cards and gift giving items for every occasion in her store.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita

Pop Up Box Card for Veterans Day

Hi Everyone:

Veterans Day is a solemn day for me as I reflect on those men and women who are serving our Country.  This card is called Pop Up Box Card Military which you can find here in the Lori Whitlock SVG store and here in the Silhouette store.  It is very easy to put together and will surely let those serving currently or previously know that we value their service.  These cards lie flat for mailing and are so wonderful when opened.  Lori has many different styles of pop up box cards to choose from.  I used some of Lori’s Echo Park collections including Summer Adventure, My Favorite Fall and I’d Rather be Crafting.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.
