I have wanted to get this cutting file kit for ages and with the current challenge at The Craftroom being Sun, Sand and Surf it was the perfect time to buy and get crafting.
I have used the Seaside kit from SVG Cuts and having the designer edition of the Silhouette software means that I am able to open the cutting files with no fluffing around.
This is the SVG Cuts version:
Pretty cool, huh??
So I got cutting and assembling and this is my version:
The lantern section lifts off so you can pop in a LED tealight. I am super chuffed with it. I didn’t like my original stripes. I could find the “right” cardstock in my stash so I took them off and used some washi tape instead, following the guidelines on the main body of the structure. I also opted out of putting vellum behind the windows.
They have a YouTube video tutorial on how to put it together but, in fact, I didn’t even watch it. It was easy enough to work it out. I am looking forward to making some of the other pieces in the kit too.

Love it Esther!! Looks just fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteAnother little SGV marvel, saw this in FB even if I was not on DT duty I'd have to come for a better look. Your paper/card modelling like this completely blows me away you make it sound so easy but I know it takes skill, practice and experience to make something as smashing as this. Thank you so much for making it for our Craft-Room Challenge XOXO Zoe
