Shaped Shadow Box Card Polar Bear Tutorial

 Happy Holidays everyone!  I have a quick and easy little shadow box to share with you.  It’s Lori’s Shaped Shadow Box Polar Bear.  This is the sweetest little bear.  I created this with just some card stock and Lori’s new Echo Park Winter Fun collection.  This little shadow box goes together like Lori’s box card envelope cards.  So super duper easy.

You can find the file here in the Silhouette Design Store, also.

First, start with cutting out all your pieces.

Then I put together his little face.
Then add your tree cutout to the back layer.
Flip over the two layer pieces and add double sided adhesive on each piece.
Also, add the blue snow piece to the very back of the box.  Adhere the two pieces together to form your box and then next add the tree layer, then to the village scene.
Then you get the sweetest little shadow box….I just finished it with all the darling elements from the Winter Fun collection.  He’s just adorable!  I can’t wait to make more.
Thanks for joining us today!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Miniature Christmas House Craft

Hi there friends!

Today I am sharing a cute snow globe craft I put together with the Miniature Christmas House for Snowglobe (SVG, Silhouette). This project is perfect for a kid’s craft. It uses very few supplies, comes together quick and is very lightweight.  It also makes a darling Christmas or Winter decoration. I used papers and stickers from the Winter Fun collection by Echo Park Paper. I found the DIY snow globe and fake snow at the dollar store a few years ago but they are also available on Amazon.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy crafting!

Snowflake Lace Album Tutorial

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a winter mini album that I made with one of Lori’s amazing cutting files called Snowflake Lace (SVG, Silhouette). I used it to create the front and back covers and a few pretty pages inside. I love its intricate design and it made such a beautiful little scrapbook!

First, I’ll explain how I created the covers, then we can take a look inside.

 

To start, I resized the Snowflake Lace cutting file to 6×6
inches and duplicated it for a front and back cover.


Since I wanted my back cover to be solid, I removed the
lace from the second shape. To do this, I highlighted the shape, right
clicked, and hit release compound path. 

To start, I resized the Snowflake Lace cutting file to 6×6 and duplicated the file for a front and back cover.


I wanted my back cover to be solid, so I needed to remove the
lace in the second shape. To do this I highlighted the shape, right
clicked, and hit release compound path. 
 

 

Now the outside square is removed from the lace snowflakes. I
deleted the design and kept the newly created solid back cover. Then I cut
both pieces out of white acrylic
, but … you could easily use white card stock or chipboard instead.

 

In the file, there is a perfect spot in the lace for the binding ring to go through. You’ll need to punch a hole in the solid back cover if you’re using card stock or chipboard.

 

Once the covers were done, I cut the inside pages out of white card stock. I cut 6 solid pages and 2 lace pages. Since the design is a bit intricate, I set the machine to cut
“heavy textured card stock” with 2 passes. Now … time to decorate!

Isn’t this lace cover so pretty?!! I added some die cuts, a few sparkling jewels, and a title from the Doodlebug Design, Winter Wonderland Collection.

Inside, I covered each of the white pages with pattern papers, photo mats, stickers, and more die cuts.

Here, I created a fold-out page and added a photo mat on the front flap with a ski lift die cut piece.

Open that fold-out and there’s a cute pocket inside with a fun snowman flip-up card on the front. I added a die cut in the pocket for journaling but extra photos can also be saved here.

This is one of the pretty lace pages that I cut from cardstock. I love it. I added a photo mat to the front and back side. It’s such a beautiful way to highlight your winter photos.

On this pocket page, I used another one of Lori’s cutting files to create the cute scalloped circle mat.

The cutting file is called 4
Scalloped Circles (SVG, Silhouette) and includes the scalloped circle and the plain circle in the center.

I had so much fun creating this winter mini album with Lori’s Snowflake Lace cutting file. The delicate pattern is so lovely and it made such unique album covers and pages. 


I hope you’ll try this project. It could be made with any paper collection and would also make a wonderful Christmas scrapbook. Until next time, happy scrappin’!

Snowman Flexi Card Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I have a fun and quick little card tutorial for you today.  I haven’t made one of Lori’s Flexi cards in quite awhile and was scrolling through my library and came across this super cute one.  They are so easy to make, they fold flat for mailing and your recipient will love it.  You can find this file here In Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.  Or you can down get a whole bundle of fun Christmas, Christmas Flexi Bundle.  I did alter it a little bit.
Start by cutting all out your pieces out.
Ink your edges!
Adhere your pattern papers to the card base.
On this little piece adhere your patterned paper, and some scor tape.
This little tab slides under the white snow and tree piece.
Okay, here is where I altered it a bit….I just trimmed the snowman off and added a snowman doodlepop from Doodlebug.  He was too cute to resist.
The big tab slides in here

 

And the other tab slides in the other slot.  There you have it, an easy peasy little flexi  card.  It really just took minutes to create.

Have a great day!
