Maple Tree - Four Seasons

Hello, crafting friends!

Fall has arrived. The leaves are turning red and yellow. I love this time of the year when every tree and every leaf is bright and colorful. The Maple Tree digital cutting file fits just perfectly for the season. The file can be adapted to any season though, as you also get snowflakes. 

Once you have cut all the elements it´s time to assemble them. Make sure you cut many leaves, you will need a lot to cover the whole tree.

I love the extra elements that come with the file (swing and bird).

I added some butterflies using the QFD Butterflies and Stars Sprays Metal Cutting Dies.

Cut the butterflies, take the "negative" and put it onto the card.

Then take the cut butterflies and put them back into the negative (use glue).

When finished you can take the negative off. The butterfly spray now sticks to the card. Add rhinestones if wanted.

Have a happy and COLOURFUL fall!

Assembling the Explosion Box

There are a number of fun Quietfire Explosion Boxes!  Here is how you assemble the Batty Halloween Explosion Box, but it's the same for all of them, with some slight variations.


Cut all the elements in your choice of colours.

Here is the box base and some of the cards.  Keep any small pieces that drop out when cutting!  You can often use them later!

If there is a pocket layer, fold along all perforated score lines and create the pockets with thin strips of adhesive.  Add the cards in the pockets - write little messages on them!

Adhere the pockets layer to the base of the box. Apply adhesive only to the bottom/base of the pockets, not the sides.

Fold the stand up figures along all score lines.  Adhere the corners of the square together by overlapping the base edge.  Close the "ring" and adhere to the inside base of the box.

Fold up the tree (or other free standing element) and adhere back to back with a Glue Dot.

Adhere free standing element to the base of the box, or in this case the black panel.

Adhere this in the middle of the base.

Assemble the lid by folding along the perforated score lines and adhering the tabs.  Decorate as shown in sample photo.

Enjoy!

Sunflower Pillow Gift Box

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy here with you today...sharing a fun new Fall project.

Today I'm featuring the fabulous new Sunflower Pillow Gift Box digital file.

You can find it in the Silhouette Design Store HERE.

Here's my finished box:

Here's what it looks like cut out:

That's all there is to it!

They're so quick and easy to put together!

I inked around the edges of all the pieces before assembling.

Then it was just a matter of doing a little layering and gluing..

I think a whole basket of them would make a lovely presentation.

I always like to add ribbon to my projects where I can,

so I added a ribbon to the box before adhering the sunflower in place.

Then the ribbon just wraps around to the back and ties in a bow.

I think these little Sunflower Pillow Gift Boxes would look beautiful on a Thanksgiving table.

One at each place setting, filled with a treat, would be a lovely treasure for everyone to take home.

You could even add names to the box and use them as place cards.

Quietfire Design Products Used:

Sunflower Pillow Gift Box

Other Materials Used:

Papers: MAMBI Harvest Specialty Paper Pack;

Ink: Walnut Stain Distress Ink;

Ribbon: Celebrate It.
