Love You Gnome Matter What

Happy Monday, everyone. Can you believe it’s February already? That means Valentine’s crafts! Today I made this little treat box to share.

 

I used 3D Gnome Treat Box found HERE (Silhouette HERE). Then I messed with the contours on his hat to remove the stars and added 1 of the Nesting Hearts found HERE to make his hat Valentine Day worthy.  I used Echo Park Company’s Valentine’s Day paper designed by Lori Whitlock. I inked the edges and popped up the little nose.

I loaded the little box with goodies and a giftcard and it’s ready to be gifted.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

New Halloween Favor Boxes

Favor Box Halloween Bundle
When I saw these boxes, I knew I had to make them all! They are a very simple box construction, but I know sometimes the placement of the pieces can be tricky. Below you can find placement for three of them that have the most pieces. The trick is to remember you have a top and a bottom and keep your pieces facing the correct way. If you use striped paper make sure to rotate the panel piece when cutting so all the stripes go the same way. (ask me how I know LOL)
Note: These cuties are coming soon to the Silhouette Store
This is the glue up for Frankenstein
 
 
This is the glue  up for the jack-o-lantern
 

This is the glue up for the witch (you can add more stripes if you choose)

***
I liked how Lori had two little stem pieces for the pumpkin stem so I did the same thing for the witch’s hat. I cut two hats and glued them together. Stick the tabs through the top slot and fold away from each other. I think the hat stands up nicely. 
 I made this little template for gluing on the little rosy cheeks. The two little circles come grouped where they would land on the face of the box. I took one of the basic panel and cut the circle cheeks out using Lori’s spacing. Then I could just center the panel on the face and add dots of glue where the holes were. Works well if you are making lots of boxes and you like everything to line up.

I could not just show the top piece of the box—the bottom box piece is designed just as cute!!!
These boxes may be small, but they are mighty! You can add about 4 pieces of snack size candy inside!

 

Whew, that was fun! I hope you find a chance to make a few of these Halloween treats-or maybe ALL of them!

Easter Projects Tutorial

Hello there! 
 
My tutorial is very easy today but I wanted to show you the cute little candy baskets, bags and boxes I have been making for Easter. You still have plenty of time to make some of these fast and easy projects!
 
Basic directions on these projects is to cut your pieces and fold on the scored lines. Glue any little pieces to form faces etc and glue the project up joining at the flaps. These cut files are simple so you can make all of these, or pick one and make multiples. They are perfect to hold a bit of candy. The chick bag and the white Easter bunny basket with it’s fun little hair bow are also a good size to hold a gift card.

 Treat Bag Easter Chick (SVG, Silhouette)
The chick on this bag is adorable. Lori also made a bunny bag too . With so few pieces this is a  quick one to finish. Glue the black piece behind the chick head and add the rosy cheeks and the beak. I added some shading with distress inks before I put the pieces on. This bag would easily hold a nice size candy bar and is the largest of all the projects. Stands 5.5 inches tall.
*****
Easter Basket with Carrots (SVG, Silhouette)
 
Fold this one up, add glue to all side tabs and fold up to form the box. Burnish the glued tabs a bit so that they all stick well. Add your little carrot design on the front and tie up the top.
*****
Easter Bunny Petal Basket (SVG)
 
I made this guy with kraft paper. I creased all the score lines and glued the black piece on the inside where the face cut out is. I added the nose with dimensionals before closing the box by bringing up the two top loops and then slip the sides with the slits over the top. I  glued on the ears about a quarter of an inch from each edge.

3D Easter Carrot Box (SVG, Silhouette)
 
Glue on the “greenery”(love the fun scallops) and then fold the carrot in half along the center score line and glue together with the side tab. All that’s left is to tie the top with some twine or ribbon. This project is just over 8 inches long including the carrot top greens.

Easter Bunny Tote (SVG, Silhouette)
 
For this file- glue the black piece on the back of the piece with the face so the eyes and whiskers show through. 

Glue the other white piece with the ears  to the back of the face section so it covers the black piece for a finished look. Glue the sections together then fold in half and glue together with the tab. Glue the bottom flaps One thing about Lori’s files- when you fold a file in half (like boxes ,bags, 3D cards) the two sections match perfectly. I love this-no struggle to force a file to fit together. Glue the bottom flaps.

 I added the handle on with two brads but you could easily just glue them on.
I hope you enjoyed these little projects-it’s just so hard to pick from all Lori’s fun Easter creations!

“Just Chicken In” box card tutorial

Happy Thursday my crafty friends. When I saw this cute little chicken card, the A2 Shaped Box Card Chicken, (SVG) it reminded me of soup, and since everyone around me is currently sick with some cootie or another I thought this would be the perfect little project.

First cut all your pieces. As always I have my Cricut write my words on the tag.

Fold your pieces on the score lines

Add your adhesive to these pieces

Glue your beak, wattles and comb to the chicken insert. Don’t put the eye on yet.

I added the insert piece into the box. I put it as close to the front as possiable as I wanted to use it as a box with goodies too.

Once my box was assembled, I added adhesive around  the square part on both the front and back, 1 side as a time.

I put the bowl shaped pieces on the fron and the back.

This is where you will attach the eye. Top left corner of the bowl piece.

I used pop dots to pop the wing (heart) piece on both back and front. Embelished with a little bakers twint on the tag.

I added a soup packet and kleenex as well as some tylonal and cough drops. I did place a piece of packing tape along the bottom to keep my goodies from falling out.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Hippo Belly Box Valentine

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a Valentine idea. I love the belly boxes and Lori has several on her site (SVG). I used the Belly Box Hippo (SVG, Silhouette). To make him more of valentine I used pink papers as accents and added some hearts to the feet. I then filled the belly part with some of my little guy’s favorite candy. I love how he turned out. These little boxes are easy to assemble and don’t have to many pieces. Definitely something that can be mass produced if needed.

Thanks for stopping by!
