Fold the tabs on the brim up and adhere the cone piece onto the polka dot brim piece using score tape.

Create the rosette by folding along the score lines into accordion pleats. Join the ends to form a ring. Press the top edge inward to flatten it into a circle and adhere the center onto a small paper backing circle (cut from any scrap paper) using liquid glue or score tape.

Using liquid glue or score tape, adhere the rosette to the bottom center portion of the cone. Adhere the pumpkin sticker to the front of the rosette.

To assemble the 3D Flower 4 just layer your pieces on top of each other and adhere in the center with adhesive or a brad.

Tie ribbon of your choice around where the brim meets the cone. Cover the knot with the 3D Flower 4. I found the eyeball for this at Dollar Tree on a flower and had to use it for this project because I loved it so much.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!!

Hey everybody, happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a nice start! Leslie here, sharing my debut project as a new creative team member, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! I’ve been a huge fan of Lori Whitlock for many years and this opportunity is a dream come true for this old gal! I’m sharing THE cutest new home mini album that I created using Hidden Binding Mini Album House SVG cut file (Silhouette) (from the Hidden Binding Mini Album Bundle 2) and the Library Pocket SVG cut file. Also used papers from the Pattern Fill Set Fresh Air. I’m a mini album fanatic and a huge fan of Lori’s hidden binding mini albums, so you’ll be seeing more of them in future posts. Let me show you this one in more detail!

This album features a variety of designer papers from the Fresh Air Pattern Fill Set and a front sentiment created with the draw function on my Cricut. I’ve also included elements such as die cuts, library pockets, and fussy cut florals on the inside pages and the back.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing this project and you’re inspired to make a hidden binding mini album. They are so much fun!

Scrappy hugs,
Leslie

Start with cutting all your pieces. I cut all the pieces white but then changed my mind.  So maybe layer it a bit with different colors and ideas before your start.

Create a spooky Halloween mini album using a treat box from the Dollar Tree. I am so excited to share my latest Lori Whitlock Halloween Extravaganza with you today. We will be going step by step to construct this unique album, which is perfect for anyone looking for budget-friendly Dollar Tree crafts. It is such a fun way to use your seasonal supplies and create a memory book for your photos. This papercrafting project is easy to assemble and makes for a wonderful gift or keepsake. I hope you enjoy putting this together as much as I did.

Today, I created this cute fall bouquet and mini card found in Lori’s shop or the Silhouette store (SVG, Silhouette).

I used Doodlebug Farmhouse collection and coordinating patterned paper. I just adore these colors and patterns. I popped all the top pumpkin pieces with enamel hearts.

I finished off the projects with some epoxy hearts and bakers twine.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year to get creative, and this time I decided to make a Halloween Easel Card using one of Lori’s wonderful designs.

At first glance, this card looks quite simple to make—and it is! But with a few extra techniques, you can turn a simple paper project into a little spooky work of art.

I used ink to create shadows and dimension, and added foam tape in several places to give the card extra depth. These small details really make the Halloween elements pop!

Get the Design

You can find the Halloween Easel Card design here:

• Lori Whitlock’s online shop: Bundle  Lori’s Shop   Single file  Lori’s Shop
• Silhouette Design Store: Silhouette 

What you need

• A cutting machine
• Cardstock in several colors
• Ink and an ink blending tool
• Foam tape
• Glue

Step 1
Start by cutting all the different pieces from your chosen cardstock using your cutting machine.
I used different shades of cardstock to create contrast between the pumpkin, leaves, branches and other elements.

Step 2 – Create the easel mechanism

To make the card stand upright, the sentiment acts as the stopper for the easel.
Add foam tape underneath the sentiment to give it some extra height. This allows the front of the card to rest against it and stay upright.
The foam tape also gives the sentiment a lovely dimensional effect.

Step 3 – Now it’s time to add some spooky shading!
I used white ink on the black background layer of the face. This creates more variation in the black and makes the different layers stand out instead of looking completely flat. You don’t need a lot of ink, build it up gradually until you are happy with the effect.

Step 4 – For even more dimension, use ink around the edges of the different cardstock pieces.
This is one of my favorite tricks when making paper projects. It gives the cardstock a slightly darker edge and instantly creates more depth.
For a Halloween card, darker shading works especially well because it gives the project that extra spooky and mysterious feeling, I used brown ink.

Step 5 – Next, glue the different branch pieces on top of each other.
Once the branches are assembled, attach them to the pumpkin.
Layering these pieces helps create a more detailed look and makes the pumpkin feel much more dimensional.

Step 6 – To add even more dimension, attach the flower using foam tape instead of gluing it directly onto the pumpkin.
This lifts the flower slightly from the surface and creates a beautiful layered effect.
I love using foam tape on paper projects because even the smallest details can make such a big difference!

Step 7 – Finally, attach the finished pumpkin to the card base.
Take a moment to check that all your layers are firmly attached and that the easel mechanism works properly.

And that’s it—your spooky Halloween Easel Card is finished!

I really love how a relatively simple design can be transformed with just a few extra techniques.

The inked edges create shadows, while the foam tape adds dimension, making the pumpkin and embellishments really stand out. Together, these little details turn the card into a fun and spooky Halloween decoration.

This is definitely a project I would recommend if you want to create something that looks impressive without being overly complicated.

Happy Halloween crafting!

I used Lori’s Bee Happy paper collection throughout, and I love how the yellows, greens, floral, bees and honey-inspired patterns work together .  It was such a fun way to combine different SVG files into one project while keeping everything cohesive.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that… and whole lot of Bee Happy!

Bee Happy!

First, I uploaded the project into Design Space. I cut enough pieces to make 12 boxes. The first photos show a single set of cut pieces. I numbered the flaps in the order that I would fold them into the box. Then I added strong tape to the flaps as shown below.

I wanted more of an open gift bag feel for the favors, so I decided to fold two of the flaps into the box and adhere. This keeps them out of the way. I inked all of my pieces with brown ink and then began assembly. I used foam adhesive to pop up the center of the pumpkin.

I folded all of the panels and adhered the favor box base. Then I wrapped the rose cardstock belt piece around the base. All that’s left is the pumpkin, some cute ribbon and the surprises that will be tucked inside!

The next time you are hosting a party or shower, I hope you’ll consider these quick, adorable favor boxes. They can be customized for any occasion. It was also very easy to make bulk quantities. Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Crafting! — Lindsay
