3D Hot Cocoa Mug Santa Tutorial

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Santa (SVG, Silhouette). This little 3D project is a cute treat box that would also make a cute decor piece. I used papers from The Magic of Christmas collection as well as some black, white, and brown cardstock. I also used liquid glue to assemble it.

For the saucer fold all of the score lines in a valley fold. Add glue to the one tab, creating a complete circle with a hexagon shape in the middle.
Add glue to the tabs in the middle of the circle and place the hexagon on top.
On to the mug. With the outside of the cup facing up fold all of the score lines in mountain folds.
All of the panels are the same so it doesn’t matter which one you start with. Add glue to the tabs and using the score lines and the edge of the next panel, line the two panels up together and pinch each tab for a few seconds to secure the glue. Continue around the cup with the same method on all six sides.

Now with the sides all glued together, assemble the Santa on one side of the mug. There are also two shoulders and two beard/hair pieces that attach to the right and the left sides of the Santa. The face is in two layers. The black layer is glued down first then the flesh-colored paper next.

The mustache, pompom, and holly are the finishing touches to Santa.
The handle of the mug is two pieces that are glued together. Be sure not to glue the tabs together.
Fold the tabs out and add glue. Attach the handle to the mug with a corner of the cup in the middle of the tabs.
The lid is also in two parts. For the cocoa/brown part, all of the score lines are folded in mountain folds. And the whipped cream is valley folds.
I decided to glue the whipped cream panels together. But I don’t think it is necessary. Either way, glue the whipped cream to the center of the cocoa and the lid is complete. The lid just slides into the mug with the tabs on the inside of the mug.
Now the mug is ready to fill with a yummy treat! Thanks for stopping by!

Watering Can Favor Box Tutorial

Hello everyone, I have a quick and easy tutorial to share with you today! This watering can favor box (SVG, Silhouette) makes such a pretty gift and it’s so simple to put together. I just love making little boxes like this and filling them with candies to give to someone special!

I made a mirror left or right copy of the handle and spout so I could glue them together just to make them a little more sturdy and to have the same paper pattern on both sides.

Here are the pieces cut out and score lines all folded. The patterned paper used here is from Echo Park’s Easter Wishes collection, there are some lovely papers in this collection that can be used for non-Easter projects, the cute little tag I used is from the ephemera frames and tags pack of the collection.

I glued the box together and also glued the handle and spout together folding out the tabs so they can be glued on each side of the box. The blue flower is glued down to the yellow piece first then pink and white last and I added the leaves to the back of the flowers and then glued them to the box.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Saint Patrick’s Truck Box Tutorial

Hello there! Here is a quick tutorial on the new Saint Patrick Truck Box, (SVG, Silhouette), this is a super simple project to put together.

The Silhouette version of the file, currently has extra window cutouts you don’t need, if you ungroup and move the pieces you will see them, see photo below. The tires need to be ungrouped to delete those window pieces also. We have asked Silhouette to fix this, but if you see it, no worries.

Here is a photo of all the pieces cut out, I used one of the sentiments from the St. Patrick Dingbats Fonts, (SVG, Silhouette) instead of the shamrock on the door.

All you have to do is fold on all the score lines, the cutout tires will flip out, glue the four sides together.

Add the bottom piece to the inside, this hides the tire cutouts.

Add all the shamrocks, I popped some of them up, I also ended up changing the tires out with a solid piece, I wanted to add buttons and liked the look better this way.

Repeat the other side and glue both panels on the box. This makes a great treat box, you can make a bunch of these in no time!  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Panda Kissing Booth Box Card Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I’ve been busy making Valentine cards to send out to my nieces and nephews. This adorable panda bear in a kissing booth caught my eye (SVG, Silhouette).

I love gifting box cards that can be left out on a counter or desk and give a person a reason to smile! Let me show you how I created this card.

  1. Select your pattern papers or cardstock and cut out all pieces.

2. Ink the edges of the papers to add dimension and shading.

3. I used the print and cut feature of my Silhouette Cameo to print “Kissing Booth” and “5¢” before cutting, but I felt that the words didn’t pop enough against the dark papers. I used a black marker to carefully go over the letters. You could also use a marker to add the text when not using print and cut.

4. Assemble the kissing booth card base and box card insert. I added some bakers twine to my banner across the kissing booth. Adhere the insert into the card base so that the panda’s arms are in front of the banner on the front of the card.

This card folds completely flat for mailing measuring 5.25″ x 5.25″. Lori has lots of Valentine card ideas in her shop. Go check them all out and have some fun making your own Valentine cards!

 

And don’t forget that this card, and all other SVGs, Fonts, Pattern Fills & Commercial Licenses are 30% off through Saturday, February 12th when you use code FEB2022 at checkout!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hi Everyone!  Kathy here today with one of the cutest projects!  Lori has a bundle of 3D Hot Cocoa Mugs that are the perfect little holder for something sweet! They would make a great addition to a teacher or coach gift!  I made the new 3D Hot Cocoa Mug (SVG, Silhouette) take a peek…

And lift up the cocoa lid to find a sweet treat!

These little mugs are super easy to assemble, I put together some quick instructions below…

Start by cutting the pieces of the file (see above).  Lori always colorizes her files, which helps when making paper choices!  I pre-assembled the snowman face and hat pieces.  When you open the file in your cutting software, the pieces are grouped together as they go on the final project, so assembly is easy!

 

To assemble the mug, start by folding all the score lines on the main mug piece in the same direction.  Fold up the side panels, and glue together using the tabs.  Continue until the mug is formed.

Glue the 2 handle pieces together.  Do not add glue to the tabs on either end.

Fold the tabs of the handle out and glue to the side of the mug along one of the seams.

Next add the snowman face to the front of the mug.  Its easiest to start from the top and work your way to the bottom, lining up the sections.  The file comes with some holly for the hat, I swapped it out for some shaped sprinkles I had in my stash.

Add the small pieces to the adjacent panels to complete the snowman hat, head and scarf.

Fold the score lines of the saucer piece all in the same direction.  Join the 2 ends together using the tab.

To finish the saucer, add the hexagon piece in the center.

To make the whipped cream (I added stickles to mine for shine)  fold all the sides inward.  Over lap all of the side pieces so each side is over one side and under another.  The part that goes “over” is the larger end.

Once they are all folded like above, push down in the center and they will hold their shape like whipped cream

Glue the whipped cream to the center of the cocoa piece.  Insert the cocoa piece into the mug as a cover.

See?? Super easy.  You’ll have service for 12 before you know it!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
