Assembling the Which Way? Signpost - Card in a Box

 

Which way do you want to go?  I'm interested in hot drinks.... 😁 This is a Silhouette Print & Cut design so you get all that awesome shading when you make this project.  Make sure you click the Print Bleed when you're turning on the Registration Marks, just in case!

This adorable card-in-a-box comes with extra signs so you can personalize them, as well as an extra post to layer so there is more strength - and of course, it folds flat for shipping and storage.

Never assembled a card-in-a-box before?  You can find some general instructions HERE. But this one is easy!!


 

You can find this design on my Silhouette Design Store, Design D-1312895. I've made a short little assembly video tutorial for you. Video only, no annoying Suzanne voiceover!!

Merry Christmas!

The 2026 Fun Quotes 3D Calendars

Cricut users update!
 I'm so sorry if you've purchased these svg files from Silhouette or Shop Lori Whitlock!  I'm slowing down your production!  I've just sent both suppliers updated files that will work for Cricut - I have some extra instructions if you are using them on a Cricut.... Scroll down.....

___________________ 

These calendars are so easy to make!  They're basically print and cut, plus make a stand to hold each of the monthly cards. They're very similar to the other previous designs.

 Each of the monthly panels includes a fun or sweet phrase. They're stored in their custom-sized holder which I've redesigned, so you can easily read the phrase! Cut the holder in any colour you wish. The back of the holder has a fold-out support so the calendar will stand on its own.


 

 You can watch this previously made video tutorial on YouTube to help you assemble the holder. Use this link to start the video at the beginning of the construction of the holder. (Make sure you subscribe to my channel in case there are updates!)

I haven't added any references to special dates on this set of calendars, except Christmas.  I leave you to add your own!

Additional instructions for Cricut users:

  1.  Upload svg to Design Space. 
  2.  Ungroup everything! 
  3.  Select the back panel of the holder and click Attach
  4.  Select the front of the holder and click Attach 
  5.  Select January and click Flatten 
  6.  Select February and click Flatten 
  7.  Continue selecting each month until all the months are flattened
  8. To reduce cardstock in the Print and Cut step, move January and February cards close together, select them both and click Attach.  Pair all the other months in the same way.  Now two will print on one page.
  9. Now send to Make!  Enjoy your calendar! 

Just ask on my website if you have any questions. 

Happy creating and happy 2026 every day of the year! Suzanne

The Tiny House Lanterns

 These ornaments are super sweet hanging on a tree.  Each design comes with a set of letters and numbers so you can personalize each one!


 

Make one or make a whole village for your tree, personalize them with names or dates, or craft a mini neighborhood to give as handmade gifts. Each design comes with a set of letters and numbers so you can personalize each one! 


Among the soft twinkle of lights, these miniature houses perch like a tiny illuminated village tucked into evergreen boughs. Their little windows catch the glow and shimmer as if someone is home inside. The holly-topped roof, the midnight-blue starry cottage, the stocking-hung house, and the sweet little church with its bright guiding star—each one looks like it belongs in its own snowy lane. They peek out between ornaments and needles, adding a whimsical, storybook charm to the tree, turning it into a magical neighborhood of tiny Christmas dwellings.

Now that you've seen just how cute they are....

You can find them at my Silhouette Design Store HERE

Design Numbers:

Hanging Christmas Lantern Ornaments


 These delightful hanging lanterns are the kind of crafty magic that instantly makes you feel like you’re living inside a cozy Christmas storybook. Each lantern is a little burst of holiday cheer—glowing softly, showing off charming cut-out designs, and practically begging to be gifted to someone you love. Pop a flameless light source inside them and watch their cozy glow.

 

 
 

Every panel feels like a tiny scene plucked from Christmas morning. They’re lightweight, easy to assemble, and look far more impressive than the time they take to make (your friends will genuinely think you’re a crafting wizard).


Hang them on the tree, line them along the mantel, tuck them into a garland, or give them as thoughtful handmade gifts—because nothing says “you’re special” like a lantern that literally glows with care. They’re festive, fun, and completely irresistible… you may end up making more for yourself than anyone else!

 Check out lighting options at my Amazon Store.

 
These sweet lanterns are available on my Silhouette Design Store .
 
 I've made this short video tutorial to help you assemble these - there are a couple of tricks!
Enjoy your lanterns!  Merry Christmas!
