Valentine Birdhouse

Hello Crafty Friends, today I want to share a Valentine themed Birdhouse I made using the Double Decker Birdhouse from the Lori Whitlock 5 Birdhouse Set (SVG)


The original file has one bird but I wanted to add another bird to make them look like love birds, so to start off with I copy & pasted the bird. Then I horizontally flipped the bird so that it was facing the original. 


I did the same with the bird on the branch, then I used the knife tool to make 2 cuts to separate the bird from the branch. I then deleted the branch & used only the bird to cut.


After cutting all my pieces on my Silhouette Cameo & put together my birds onto the branch. You will need to trim the excess branch from the back panel of the extra bird we created before glueing him onto the main branch. 


Next I took the larger part of the house which is the bottom & glued the side flaps together.


Once these were dry I proceeded to glue down the roof first by glueing down the bigger piece then following the smaller roof piece on top.


Next I took the smaller bird house & glued the side flaps together. Then I glued it down onto the bottom half of the birdhouse that we have already put together. Once this was dry I finished off by glueing the 3 roof panels starting from the largest on the bottom. 


Lastly I embellished my Birdhouse with some die cuts, stickers & paper roses.


Isn't it the sweetest!

3D Belly Lantern Christmas Characters

Hello Crafty Friends, today I wanted to share with you some of the new release Lori Whitlock 3d Belly Lantern Christmas Characters.

The bundle (SVG) comes with 6 characters which include, Gingerbread Man (Silhouette), Santa (Silhouette), Snowman (Silhouette) & Reindeer (Silhouette), Gnome (Silhouette) & Penguin (Silhouette) . Today I have featured 4 of those with a little twist in the Gingerbread Man.


I loved the Gingerbread Man so much I wanted to make a little Gingerbread Girl as well. This was very easy to do. I turned his bow tie into a bow. To do this I just made a copy of the bow tie then using the copy I moved the 2 bow tie pieces together until they touched. I then simply fused them together by using the weld tool in my Silhouette studio. I also wanted to give them some candy so I used some of the candy from the 3 Story Gingerbread Dollhouse (SVGSilhouette).


I also made the Reindeer & Santa. For my Santa I have used white polar fleece on parts of his clothes. I have never had luck cutting fabric on my Silhouette. So I chose a more simple approach. I cut the white cardboard pieces then glued onto them the polar fleece. I placed something heavy on them as they dried to keep them flat. Once thay were dry I just trimmed off the excess polar fleece around the shape. Then proceeded putting my Santa together as normal.


Lastly my Snowman

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!
