I Love You Alphabet Card

Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it!  To get ahead on my crafting,  I created a fun card which uses the new I Love You Alphabet 2 File (SVG, Silhouette– coming soon).  Take a peek…

To make the card,  I resized the I Love You Alphabet 2 file to be 4″ wide (when resizing make sure to “lock” the aspect ratio).  I drew a 4.5″ x 6.5″ rectangle in Silhouette, and then centered the alphabet on the rectangle.  I selected the i, heart, and u and moved them off, then grouped the rest and cut.  I layered this piece over a 5″ x 7″ piece of paper, using foam tape for dimension, and also added the centers of the letters a,b,d,e,g, p & q.  I cut the i, heart and u from a coordinating paper and added them in their designated spots using foam tape.  To complete I added this to a 5×7 card base.

I’m now all set with a card for my sweetheart!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

Elephant Belly Box Tutorial with Ashley

I am bringing you a fun tutorial for the Elephant Belly Box.  Lori has an assortment of different belly boxes in her shop.  Find the Elephant here and at Silhouette.   And take a look at the other belly boxes.  All of them come together in a similar manner.

First, cut all the pieces.  For this Elephant I used 1 full piece of 12 X 12 gray paper, part of a pink/red paper and just one part of a brown paper.  The pink paper here is red on the other side, so while I was putting it together I decided to use the red side for the ears and feet and kept the pink for the cheeks.

I inked the edges of the pieces.  I used a tape runner to attach the accent pieces and tape the box tabs together, then I used pop up adhesive to attach the feet, face, and trunk to the box.

 

Now the box is ready to fill with a treat.

This was so fun and quick to put together.
