Hiya, Wow, wow, WOW! I just love this new file from Simply Crafty SVGs! I've been hoping that designer Sandy would be adding to her existing line of SVG hat cutting files, and she has, and this one - the Victorian Top Hat and Stand Gift Box, is my very favourite.
The file includes the stand, and the top of the stand doubles up as a gift box. How fab is that?
Materials Used:
American Crafts Medium weight Textured Cardstock
Heavy-Weight Kraft Cardstock
Texture Fades Embossing Folder By Tim Holtz - Lumber 662718 & Embossing Machine
Distress Ink (Walnut) and Blending Tool
Crafters Companion Speciality Patterned Paper
Metallic Sign Vinyl or Heat Transfer Vinyl, or WRMK Foil Quill Pen & Foil
Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive
Silhouette Cameo
Files Used:
Simply Crafty SVGs Victorian Top Hat
Other Digital Files:
Tribal Feathers (Studio/SVG)
CONSTRUCTION
The Top Hat
The hat was made up in black textured cardstock and a band of specialty lace-look paper was added over a wider dark grey cardstock band. The underside of the brim was lined with the lace-look paper too from cutting an extra brim and removing the glue tabs. I did this by changing the elliptical fold line to a cut line in my cut settings, but they could be trimmed off with scissors.
The Feathers
The feathers were cut from the dark grey textured cardstock with the smooth side facing up. Then the feather pattern cut from metallic HTV was added. My original intention had been to use my WRMK Foil Quill, but HTV turned out to be so much quicker. The heat activated HTV was adhered to the cardstock feather base with a medium iron, protected with a heat-resistant sheet. My "how to" on adding HTV cardstock is linked toward the bottom of this post. For the matching button I applied HTV to a circle embellishment made from layers of regular cardstock.
The Stand and Box
The wood-look stand was made using kraft cardstock. The decorative pieces were embossed using a manual die cutting machine and a wood-effect embossing folder. They were then darkened using some brown ink on a blending tool. The box part was left plain and would be a great place to stash a special gift.
I can't wait to use this file again - I can think of SO many ways to use it, and I'm sure can too. Thank you Sandy!
