5×7 Tiered Cake Gift Card Holder Tutorial with Kathy

Hi Everyone, it’s Kathy today with a quick tutorial showing how to assemble Lori’s 5×7 Tiered Cake Gift Card Holder.  (available here in the Silhouette Design Store) I have 4 weddings this year and this is sure going to come in handy!  It’s also a good way to make giving a gift card a bit more personal!

And here the card is open, with the gift card…

Here’s how to put it all together…

First, cut all the pieces.  I used some plain cardstock for the main body of my card, and some fun printed papers for the decorations.

Next, place the top tier of the cake with the slots for the gift card over the main piece as shown.

Fold the tabs on the main cake piece and add adhesive to only the tabs of the main piece.

Fold the other side of the main piece over, keeping the top tier in between the layers, pressing down to secure where glued.

Now for the fun part!  Decorate the layers using the embellishment pieces.  I also added some flower stickers and glitter to my cake tiers.  Insert your gift card in the top tier, using the tabs, and slide this piece down into the main part of the cake.

This card fits into a 5×7 envelope.  It could also be used for birthdays!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!


Lovebug Box with Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing my take on Lori’s ladybug slip lid box.

To turn my ladybug into a “love”bug,  I  used the “release compound path” feature to remove the polka dots and replace them with hearts.

This little box would be great for classroom Valentine’s Day treats.  It’s  adorable on it’s own so I added just a couple of embellishments.  I cut a pieces of glitter cardstock to fit behind my hearts for a little sparkle and added a sticker from the Doodlebug – Sweet Things Collection and a twine bow.

Head over to the Lori’s SVG Shop to find more adorable treat bags and cards for Valentine’s Day.

Octagon Teapot Tutorial by Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing this beautiful new 3D Teapot 2 SVG (Silhouette file HERE) that Lori added this week.  This would make a great gift for Mother’s Day!  You could fill it with your Mom’s favorite tea bags or with a small gift and a gift card.

I used paper from the Lori’s Jack & Jill Collection for Echo Park Paper.  This large floral print is perfect for the teapot.

To assemble the teapot, first cut everything out from the papers of your choice.

If you choose a detailed pattern paper like this for your project, I suggest leaving all the pieces on your mat.  That way the pattern will match up easily as you glue the panels in place.

Next,  apply glue to the glue tabs of the two teapot pieces (white), glue them together and the glue the end tabs together to form a circle.

Now you are ready to start forming the octagon shape.

 

Apply glue to the glue tabs as show and line them up with the adjacent panel.  It helps to fold the panel with the glue tab out, apply the glue and then line up the panel as closely as possible to the score line.  Be patient on this portion of the assembly.  Wait a few seconds to allow the glue to dry slightly before moving on to the next tab to prevent shifting.

Continue all the way around glueing the tabs in place.  Follow the same steps with the base and lid.

Glue the base in place. Glue the two pieces of the handle together folding taps out and then glue in place.  Fold the spout in half, fold tabs out and glue in place.

Finally, glue the decorative panels in place. So cute!!

Be sure to check out all the new files added to the shop this week.
