Secret Silhouette Tank Top Project

CRAFTS, Silhouette, SVG, Tutorials, Video /

Today I made a quick logo, cut it out and transferred it to a tank top for a mastermind I was headed to. This was such a fast and easy project. 

Here are some favorite techniques I like:

  1. Flip over the shirt and press on the back of the shirt to keep the design in place.
  2. Wash your shirts inside out for longer lasting results.
  3. Keep shirt and hoodie designs simple for longer wear

Pop Up Cards

I have a previous post of this right here: https://carinagardner.com/2021/03/22/pop-up-card-tutorial-for-silhouette/

If you are nervous about putting these together, here are some simple instructions:

  1. Fold on all the score lines.
  2. Use stick glue or hot glue to layer the images on the side before gluing the box together.
  3. Use the tabs to glue together the side of the box.
  4. Use twine or ribbon to keep the top together to hang this or put a bow!

Hexagon Boxes

I LOVE hexagon boxes with lids. They make great party favors.

These are simple and the best way to see them get put together is to visit my instagram feed at @carinagardnerpapercrafts. 

If you are nervous about putting these together, here are some simple instructions:

  1. Fold on all the score lines.
  2. Use stick glue or hot glue to layer the images on the lid before gluing the tabs.

Paper Cutout Bunny House for Easter – Best Bunny House Tutorial

CRAFTS, Scrapbooking, Silhouette, SVG, Tutorials, Video /

In today’s blog, I show you how to make my Best Bunny House, an adorable paper cutout bunny house for Easter, using your Silhouette machine.

This Bunny House combines cute flowers, adorable bunnies, and a double-decker design to add a flourish of Easter fun to any room or table top. The darling spring garden that surrounds the house makes this a fun and colorful way to celebrate springtime. So, whether you put it on a shelf, on a table, or in an entryway, this little house will fill all the little bunnies in your life with joy.

In this tutorial, you will learn and practice:

  •  how to use score lines and folds to create more advanced Silhouette structures
  • how to use glue lines to hide mistakes that happen along the way
  • how to use a clever bottom cutout so that you can illuminate your design with a tealight
  • when you should use hot glue and when you should use a glue stick

Easter Banner Tutorial

Image of Happy Easter Banner

Are you looking for a fun way to decorate this Easter holiday season? In today’s blog, I’m excited to show you how to make this decorative Layered Easter Banner! Whether you hang it along a wall or in an archway, this Happy Easter banner is the perfect way to make a space more festive for the Easter Holiday.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use accordion folds to add layers, texture, and depth to your Silhouette projects. Learn the method I use to string twine through each piece so that each letter in the banner displays in the way that’s prettiest and that hides some of the structural pieces of the banner. I hope you enjoy making this project as much as I did and that it adds a pop of color and flair to your Easter celebration this year!
