S’more Box SVG Cutting File

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing this fun S’more Shaped Box SVG cutting file that was recently added to the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Store. This fun box would make an adorable party favor for a camping themed birthday party.  You could fill it with mini chocolate bars.

This box goes together very quickly so you could easily make several of these in a short time.  Be sure to stop by the shop to see all the other fun new outdoor-themed cut files.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Baby Shoe Cut File Tutorial

Looking for a really cute Baby Shower Favor?  How about this adorable little Baby Shoe (SVG, Silhouette).    

This little shoe is easy to assemble and can be made in any color to match your shower theme! 
Start out by cutting the pieces.  You have 2 bottom pieces (each the same size) and the top of the shoe.

On the “wrong” side of one of the bottom pieces, I measured up about one inch from the heel and drew a line. (the bottom pieces both have a wider end which is the top of the shoe, and a narrower end which is the heel.)  You don’t need to do this part, I just found it easier to place where to start gluing on the shoe top.

Starting at the 1″ mark, glue the top of the shoe to the bottom piece going in the direction of the top of the shoe.

Continue all the way around the shoe, making sure there are no gaps.   When  you  are  done, there will be an overlap of one tab.

Add a little adhesive in the overlap of the top piece and secure.

Add the second bottom piece to the bottom of the shoe to cover the tabs.

All that is left is to glue the shoe strap  down and decorate!  I added a button to the strap and a little bow to the shoe top.  Now to fill it with a sweet treat!

This tutorial will also help with the assembly of the Explosion Box Baby Shoes File (SVG, Silhouette).  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

 

Anita here with a fun tutorial to make this gift set.  I love to quilt and embroider as much as I love to paper craft and I was thrilled to recently discover that Lori Whitlock has embroidery files that she has designed, many of which mirror her paper craft SVG files.  You can find her gorgeous embroidery files at Embroidery Online.  I will give you all the links in the post .

I bought shrink film from Amazon and used Lori’s Print & Cut Stamps Christmas Cookies which you can find here in her store .  I resized the image of the gingerbread man so that it would come out the size that I wanted.  I then printed the image onto the shrink film through my laser printer.  Just let it dry for a few minutes before coloring it.

I then used my Copic markers to color the shrink film.  I knew that the colors would deepen once I shrunk the image so chose my colors with that in mind.  I used R37, E11, G14, G07, E99 for the gingerbread man and Y08, E99, R37, G07 for the Gingerbread house.  Be sure to punch a hole in your shrink film before you put it in the oven and remember that the hole shrinks also.  The directions say to bake the film on parchment at 300 degrees for 2-3 minutes but I found that my heat gun worked much better as I could control the plastic as it shrank.  Below is the before picture.

Here is the photo of the shrink plastic after it was  done.

I went to Embroidery online and bought the bundle which had all the Christmas embroidery files that I wanted to use for this project.  It is called Christmas Time by Lori Whitlock.  You can buy the collection or the individual embroidery files.  I embroidered the phrase It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas on a piece cotton.  I then finished the edges and glued it to the front of my tote.  I also embroidered my daughter-in-law’s name on the top of the apron as this set is for her.  She is an amazing baker.

I then strung my two adorable gingerbread embellishments on some yummy twine, added a bell and glued that down as well.

I really love to match things and  have been so excited to make this project.  Here is a close up of all the goodies that I put inside the basket.

The last thing that I did was made a card that used the SVG cut file which matched the embroidery.  I used Lori’s new Christmas collection called Celebrate Christmas.  The cut file can be found here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette store and is called Look a lot Like Christmas Phrase.
That’s it for me.  Hope that you have a wonderful holiday season.

Hugs,

Anita

 

Digital Inspiration with the Silhouette Software

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday from Ashley.  I’m bringing you a little different post today.  I created an invite within Silhouette software.  I create digital layouts and invites in Photoshop Elements, but I wanted to show you that you can also create digital cards and invites in Silhouette Studio.

I used Lori’s Island Paradise Digital Files found here.  She also has an SVG kit of these items in her shop here. I used the adorable Flamingo from Paige Evans found here.

Fonts: LW Darling Script, LW Perfect Type here or here.

If you need to save and print invites at a print shop, just select Print and choose a PDF printer.  This saves your file as a PDF.  Ready to print.

Enjoy!
