Fold Flat Tudor House Bundle

 Hello Crafty Friends today I am sharing my project using the Fold Flat Tudor House Bundle from Lori Whitlock (SVG, Silhouette).

These little houses make an adorable addition to your decor & then can be folded flat for storage. They are so easy to put together.


I wanted my roof to have a pattern like a real roof. So I embossed it with a scalloped design embossing folder. To do this I firstly folded the roof panel along the perforated line then gave it a light spray of water to make the cardstock more bendable without tearing. Do not use too much water because it will fuse both sides together. Now put the roof panel aside.


Next I glued the timber frame panels to the front of my house bases.


Next I turned them over & glued the coloured window frame panels to the back side making sure to carefully align any windows or doors in place.


For my windows I have used vellum incase I wanted to add any fairy lights inside my houses. I glued the vellum on top of the window frame panel.


The next step was to glue the side flaps of the building to join your 2 building pieces together. You can now close the bottom flap to create a box. Do not glue the bottom flap. This way you can simply open it & fold your building flat for storage.


Next add glue to the roof base side that is joined to the building. 


Now carefully adhere to the inside of the embossed roof piece making sure you centre it. The other side should be free & not glued down. Now fold the other side of the roof down & slide through the cut slots of the roof into the chimneys to secure it into place.


It should now look like this.


Now I wanted to go one step further & give my houses Christmas decorations. I made some embellishments using Sculpey clay & molds. You can use anything you like. Although by using raised embellishments I will need to be extra careful how I lay for storage. You can also create flat decorations using any dies or stickers in your stash.

Homemade Gingerbread Bakery Cutting Board - November Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock


Hello friends! Welcome to the Lori Whitlock November Blog Hop!

Blog Hop Order:

We have officially started to decorate for Christmas in our house! 
Last year I decorated my kitchen with a Gingerbread themed Farmhouse tiered tray, so this year I decided to add to that by creating a Gingerbread themed cutting board using the Lori Whitlock Homemade Gingerbread Bakery cutting file (SVGSilhouette).


I started off with a mini paddle cutting board that I purchased from Kmart. 
I cut out the file using Coffee coloured adhesive vinyl with plastic backing from HTV Ront. I find this type of vinyl works the best when you have intricate shapes in your design as it doesn't slide around when it is being cut causing tears in your design. Lastly I decorated my board with some ribbon & a cute little gingerbread man cabochon from my stash!

Baby Bottle Shaped Shaker Card

 Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this adorable Baby shaker card!

The file for my project today is the Baby Bottle Shaped Card (SVGSilhouette).


I opened my file in Silhouette studio & took the bottle panel of my file, (coloured in white in my pic), & made a copy so that I now have 2. 

 

One will be used to create a frame for my shaker by making an internal offset & the other I will use to cut a sheet of acetate for the shaker window.


I created an internal offset of 0.450 on one of them. You can now put the other, (for the acetate), without the offset to the side. I have slightly enlarged my card so the offset measurements may vary depending on the size of your card. I just kept playing with mine till I got it to the desired size.
 

 I then copy & pasted this to fill my page. I was able to fit 4 in total. I cut out 12 pieces of this panel. These are to create the frame for your shaker. You only keep the outside frame. The insert is not needed. You will only need to cut 1 frame if you prefer to create the window frame with foam tape. I prefer this way as I find them much sturdier. I then cut out another of the same panel using the printed paper to make the top printed panel. This time keep both the frame & inside cut. Once I cut out all my pieces the first step was to glue the frame together by layering carefully my 12 pieces. 


How thick the layer will depend on the type of shaker confetti you use inside. My shaker balls where a little raised & I wanted them to move freely in my card.


Next I glued together my top panels onto the front of my bottle panel & also glued down the shaker frame I created onto the bottom part.


I wanted some embellishments as well as sprinkles in my card, so I adhered some cute stickers on the inside panel first. 


Once my stickers were in place I took the panel & glued it inside my frame. This should fit perfectly. Then I added my tiny balls. You can use any sprinkles in your stash. I wanted mine to look like milk inside the bottle that is why I chose the white balls. Next I gave my acetate a light brush of powder on the side I was going to glue down so that it is not static. I then glued the acetate to the frame. I let it dry before the next steps. Acetate takes a little longe to dry & not so instant as paper. Once the acetate was dry I glued on top the printed panel frame. Lastly I glued down my complete bottle panel onto the front of the card frame.


I added a sticker with sentiment on top to finish off!



Supplies:
Paper: Doodlebug Design - Bundle of Joy
SVG File: Lori Whitlock - Baby Bottle Shaped Card (SVGSilhouette).
Accessories: Doodlebug Design Shakers - Lily White Balls & stickers.
