3D Strawberry Bouquet

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial of my take of the new 3D Strawberry Bouquet (SVG), (Silhouette). Lori has a few different designs to choose from. They are fun & easy to make!

To start cut out all your pieces. Next I created the small card. Then 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.

Next if you want to ink any of your pieces do this before you glue any pieces together. I inked the green stems of the strawberries.

 I wanted some dimension on mine, so I embossed the basket with an embossing folder. Remember to spray a light spray of water on your cardstock before you run it through, so that it makes your cardstock more pliable & not tear. Now glue all your panel pieces. I put some small foam squares on my flowers for dimension. I also put foam squares on the strawberries of the smaller green panel as this will be on the front.

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. I used paper clips to hold down till tabs dried.

Next take the larger foliage panel & 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 adhers to the front pot panel. 

Lastly I glued down the bow elements & glued a little flower button to embellish. Lastly I finished off by adding some white gel pen. I didn't do this before I adhered my pieces, but if you do, it makes it a little easier.

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! I will be definitely making more of these in the near future.

A2 Easter Basket Card

Hello crafty friends, today I want to share with you an adorable A2 Easter Basket Card (SVG), (Silhouette), from Lori Whitlock.  

For this card I cut out all the panels for the basket as per usual. I used some Distress ink to ink the edges on the basket, leaves, feet & ribbon. I created a trim on the front of the basket using a scalloped border die & glued down before I glued the feet on. I hand cut out a piece white felt & glued it onto the tail. I then die cut a border on my white base & layered onto some petite print paper.

Valentine Cat Bag & A2 Card Gift Set

Hello Crafty Friends, with Valentine's Day less than 2 weeks away today I want to share with you an adorable little bag & card gift set I made using one of the newest files from Lori Whitlock called Valentine Bag Cat (SVG), (Silhouette). I also created a matching card using an A2 card Base (SVG), (Silhouette)

To start off I cut out all the panel pieces for the bag. Make sure you cut 2 of each of all the panels that make the cat, (if you are making the card). I did not need to alter the size of the cat in any way as it fit nicely onto the a2 card base. Now start by putting all your pieces together for the cat by following the steps below.

Now it's time to put the bag together. Glue all your bag panels onto the bag base. 

Note the next step I did after glueing the panels, but it may be slightly easier to do before the panels are glued on, as the cardstock will be more flexible. Mountain fold the bottom flaps & valley fold the sides of the bag.

Next glue the side tab of the bag.

Glue the base then set your bag aside for the time being.

Now to create our matching A2 card. Firstly cut out all the panels. You will see that I have an extra rectangle piece of cardstock which is not in the file. I just cut out a rectangle 1.25" x 4.25" with the same paper I used on the side of my bag so that it coordinates with my card. 

Glue the 2 front panels onto the card base.

Glue the extra rectangle piece onto the far right side of the inside of your card, so that when you close your card it will be visible from behind the pinking pattern.

Lastly to finish off place a cat onto the front of your bag & another onto the card front. I used foam squares to give it dimension. Then add the ribbon to your bag & any other embellishments you wish. Today I have kept it simple & only added a heart stickle. 

Supplies:

Paper: Doodlebug Design - Sweet Things Collection

SVG File: Lori Whitlock - Valentine Bag Cat (SVG), (Silhouette)
