Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a quick assembly tutorial for Lori’s Record Card (SVG, Silhouette).   When you get everything cut out this is what you will have.

First, form the box shape and card base by folding along the score lines.  Next glue the box shape to the card base as shown below.

Next, apply glue on the glue tab and glue to the top portion of the card base.

This is what it looks like after you have formed the card base.

Finally, glue all the die cut in place.   Here is what the completed outside of the card will look like.

And here is the inside…

There you have it! This card is super cute and goes together very quickly.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Witch Hat Handle Box Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. Are you one of those people that go all out for Halloween? I love decorating for Halloween! Since it’s almost October, I thought I would share a Halloween treat box with you today. This Witch Hat Handle Box can be found here (SVG / Silhouette ). I used the Echo Park I Love Halloween paper collection also designed by Lori for my box.

Let me show you how I put it all together. First select your papers and cut everything out. Before assembling, I like to ink the white edges of my pattern papers with ink. I do this with cardstock too if it has a white core.

When making a box, I prefer to adhere the panels to the box before folding on score lines and gluing the sides shut.

To add glitter to the witch hat star and buckle cut file pieces, run them through a sticker maker face down. You want the glue on the front side. I like to use a bone folder to rub across the back side of the pieces making sure all the glue transfers to the paper.

Sprinkle the glue side with glitter, or press the glue side down into the glitter in a container.

Assemble the witch hat and adhere to the front of the box along with the Eat If You Dare print and cut label. Fill with your favorite candy before gluing the handle together, a glue dot works well.   I love adding bling to projects to make them extra special!

There are four new Halloween themed handle treat boxes in Lori’s Shop and the Silhouette Store giving you lots of options. Go check them all out! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Bunny Shaker Card Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I know we are all trying to navigate through what’s going on in the world today, I hope you are all safe and well!  I am spending my time creating, it relaxes me and gives me focus in this uncertain time.  So with all that said, I have a little project to share with you.  It takes a bit of time, but I promise it’s worth the effort.  I love using Lori’s shaker card files.  She has lots, but I wanted one for Easter, so I decided to create my own.  After making several of Lori’s shakers, I’ve kind of figured out how to make my own.

I started with a this Easter Bunny Candy Wrap (SVG, Silhouette) in my Silhouette Software.  First bring up the box in the design page of your machine (box 1). Next release the compound path and ungroup.  You should be able just to select the bunny shape and bow now, (box 2 and 3).  Enlarge your bunny and bow to whatever size you need (box 4).

Now use the internal offset button and set to .145, move that little inset bunny over now from the original bunny.  On the inset bunny, now click the offset button and set to .145 and group the together.  Now your bunny perfectly matches up with the original shape (box 5).  Now keep your solid bunny shape and duplicate your outline shape 8 times (box 6).  You need 7 bunny shapes to make your shaker deep enough to fill with little sprinkles.  Now cut your shapes (box 7).  Layer 7 outline bunny shapes to the original bunny shape with liquid glue, stacking them on top of each other, box 4. Save one outline bunny to glue over the acetate.

Your stack of bunnies should be thick like below, make sure to let it dry really well (box 8).

Now for the fun part….add all your favorite little bits and glue a piece of acetate on.  Let it dry really well before trimming the acetate away.  Finish with your last bunny outline shape to make a nice finished shaker.

After my shaker was complete, I attached it with scor-tape to Lori’s 3D Stand up Easter Card (SVG, Silhouette) .  I just removed the original brown bunny and added my shaker bunny.  I used Echo Park Paper’s All Girl and I Love Sunshine papers.

Stay safe and well ~Cathy

Pop Up Box Card St. Patrick’s Jar Shaker Tutorial

Anita here with a tutorial to make Lori’s lovely cut file for the Pop Up Box Card St. Patrick’s Jar into a shaker card.  You can find the SVG file here in Lori’s shop and here in the Silhouette store.

Here is a photo of the parts of the card after I cut them out.  I cut a piece of overhead projector plastic the same size as the jar.  I used the rectangle shape tool in Silhouette to cut out the center of my green plaid jar top piece for the window.  I also cut an extra jar out of black and trimmed it even with the top of the lid so that you could see the details in the jar cover.  Those are shown glued down in this photo.

Next, I took the green dot jar piece and used foam tape to create both height and space for the shaker materials as you can see from the photo below.

I started to assemble the card which is very easy to put together. (Lori has a Pop Up Box Card Tutorial Here)   I tend to use a wet adhesive as at first it is forgiving and you can move the pieces around a bit and then it holds better than regular adhesive.  I lined up the pieces and then closed the card to make sure everything was where I wanted it.  Here are some photos of the embellished card parts. I added the transparency piece behind the plaid jar outline to create a window.  I filled my shaker with extra shamrocks from the cut file and some sequins.  After filling the jar, I peeled the adhesive from the foam tape and placed the jar with the window on top.   I love how festive it is.

Lastly here is a photo of the card when it is closed.  Lori has many wonderful St. Patrick’s Day files which you can whip up quickly to brighten someone’s day.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita
