3D Christmas Santa Bouquet Tutorial

Leave a comment
Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today! Today I am sharing a tutorial of the 3D Christmas Santa Bouquet (SVG). 
To start cut out all your pieces. I then embossed my santa suit using a Christmas embossing folder.

 

Glue all your panels in place. I valley folded the small piece of the envelope & applied glue to the tabs. I aligned it to the bottom & sides of the larger piece. This creates the pocket.
Now to create the mechanism.
Fold the little tab then fold the mechanism in half & glue the tab down.
For the easel leg glue the single tab to the back, then wrap the rest around going to the back & bringing it to the front glueing each tab. This is to make the easel leg sturdy.

Next valley fold both ends in so that it forms an X.

Now apply glue to the mechanism making sure you do not go past the fold on the easel leg.
Now place the glued mechanism on the inside of one of the pot panels making sure to align the leg to the bottom. It should sit a few millimeters beneath the top. Now glue the top part of the mechanism only & place the other pot panel on top. Hold down for a minute or so till it dries. Now glue the tabs to the inside.

Next take the larger foliage panel with Santa & turn it over. You want to apply glue on the back of the bottom square part. Now turn it over so you can see your front panels & gently slide it in between the back of your X. The glued square should be stuck onto the back pot panel. Now with the smaller foliage panel you will apply the glue onto the front side of bottom square. This time you will slide it into your X on the front folded part of the mechanism so that the glue adheres to the front pot panel.

To make your bouquet stand on its own gently squeeze the sides of the pot & fold in the leg of your mechanism. To fold flat place it back down again.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today! You can also buy the 3D Christmas Bouquet Bundle here, which also features 3D Christmas Tree Bouquet, (which I created here), and 3D Christmas Reindeer Bouquet.

Hello Sunshine!

Leave a comment

Happy Monday!

Sometimes the sweetest gifts are the simplest ones.  This cheerful little box of sunshine (SVG, Silhouette) is filled with bright yellow treats, refreshing drink mixes and a few happy extras to remind someone they are loved.  Whether you are celebrating a birthday, cheering up a friend, thanking a teacher or simply sending a little encouragement, this project is a fun way to spread a little sunshine.

The adorable smiling sun and sunny rays make this gift impossible not to smile at!  I used Lori’s Our Groovy Summer and with all the coordinating embellishments and it was perfect for all the finishing touches.  Fill it with all things yellow and surprise someone special.

Life is always a little brighter when you share a little sunshine!

5×7 Box Card Christmas Shops

Leave a comment

I’m on the Lori Whitlock Blog today with a few easy tips for  making these new release festive  5×7 Box Card Christmas Shops. 

 

5×7 Box Card Christmas Book Shop
5×7 Box Card Christmas Cafe Shop
5×7 Box Card Christmas Tree Shop
5×7 Box Card Christmas Bakery Shop
 
Today I am going to show you a few tips for making these fun Christmas Shop Cards from Lori’s  latest release.
 
The main ‘building’ pieces are all the same for each shop and the decor changes for each house. As always, I cut extra’s of all the small  pieces because I always lose something! Does that happen to you?
 
 
Glue all your pieces on the front of your shop
This is the insert for inside the box card.  Notice the window is added on the side with the short tab. Add glue on the short sided tab.
Turn over both decorated house pieces. Take the insert and glue the short tab right up to the fold of the tall house (back of the house that has the white piece glued to it).
Here you can see how it looks after it is glued.
After your first  tab is dry, fold over the insert with the tiny window and add glue the long tab on the right side. Flatten the insert and fold over the right side piece. (Always make sure the bottom of the pieces line up evenly). See below
Hold the right side piece down to make sure the glue is dry on the underneath tab. Fold over the left side house piece and it will line up perfectly with the glued tab. Pretty slick that Lori’s files are so well designed that everything just fits!

I would add pressure on the right side where the tabs are to make sure the tabs are really stuck. Flip the card back and forth to make sure it folds flat so it slips into the envelope easily. These cards fit  nicely in a 5×7 envelope.

 
Added tip  for the awning—glue on you second color tab and then flip it over.
The awning is designed to glue on flat but I wanted to have it pop out a bit on the bottom like a real awning. Add glue to the top of the piece and a foam strip  on the bottom.  When you glue it on, it looks so darned cute! 
 
I hope you will give these cards a try, they are  striking made up as a little village.

Pinwheel Penny Slider Card with Interactive Pinwheel Mechanism

Leave a comment

Hi Crafty friends! I hope you are having an amazing summer.

Today I will show you how to make a Pinwheel Penny Slider Card  with this easy paper crafting tutorial. See how the pinwheel spins down the track. In this demonstration, I show you how to assemble the Pinwheel Penny Slider Card file designed by Lori Whitlock. This project is perfect for paper crafters who want to add interactive elements to their handmade cards. I have chosen a patriotic theme for my design, but this card layout works beautifully for any occasion or color palette you prefer. Following these steps, you will understand how to construct the moving mechanism so your pinwheel slides smoothly. This is a great way to elevate your card making skills with simple materials and a cutting machine.

Happy crafting!

Holly
