A Basket Full of Strawberry Fields Forever

June 18, 2026June 17, 2026Leave a comment

“Living is easy with eyes closed… “Well, maybe not when you’re trying to choose between all the adorable papers in Lori’s new Strawberry Fields collection! From the sweet gingham patterns to cheerful strawberry prints, this collection instantly transported me to my own little version of Strawberry Fields.

I combined the Strawberry Fields Collection with two of Lori’s adorable files. A charming berry basket that you can find here in the shop and some little strawberry boxes that you can also find here in Lori’s Shop . This project perfectly captures that carefree feeling of a sunny summer afternoon.

Start with your basket, this is really simple and comes together in seconds. Cut, ink, fold, and adhesive and adhere together. It is simplicity at it’s best.

Now for the strawberries, these were a bit tricky. I think mostly because I scaled them down about 33% so that I could put quite a few in the basket. I cut 7 strawberries and their tops. I could do four different patterns at a time with the little 6×6 pad that comes in the collection. You can see how they are cut here, then fold on score lines til you have the last shape on the bottom right.

So here we go with how to put these little cuties together. I did have my hot glue gun out just in case I needed it.

1. Start with a strawberry, fold along score lines…there is hole an all 6 tops for your brad. Adhere the 1 st petal edge with the little flap to the 6th petal.

2. Insert a brad through one of the petals and begin shaping your strawberry…you simply pull each petal over the brad and practice patience here…lol, it took me a bit but I got it. All six petals layer over that one little brad.

3. Once you have all your petals overlapped, the strawberry begins to take shape into a little pouch or box. Open the brad prongs now and seal your little strawberry.

I glued my little tops on instead of messing and fighting with that little brad any longer. The added buttons and twine to each one. Adorable.

Now for the fun part. Start embellishing your basket with all the fun elements from the collection.

The Beatles sang about Strawberry Fields Forever and while my version may be made from paper instead of growing in a garden, it has its own kind of magic. Every fold, layer and embellishment are my escape to where creativity blooms.

Thanks for stopping by for my tutorial.

5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Fishing

June 15, 2026June 14, 2026Leave a comment

Happy Monday everyone! With Father’s Day right around the corner, I wanted to show off one of Lori’s amazing Father’s Day cards.

I used the 5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Fishing found HERE.

This was such a great card to make and add a few little elements to.

I used dimentionals on the fishing pole and bobber on the front. I also used a glitter pen to draw some stiching on to make my “DAD” pop a little more.

The inside is a nice surprise for the recipient. I added a few enamel dots to the fish to imply a rainbow trout which is what we have a lot of here in the Black Hills.

I hope you try this fun card.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Rectangle Pop Up Card Sports Stand Tutorial

June 11, 2026June 10, 20261 Comment

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay, sharing a pop up card with you today. Father’s Day is just around the corner. I wanted to work with one of Lori’s newest files called “Rectangle Pop Up Card Sports Stand.” I used an Echo Park paper collection, also designed by Lori, called “Dino Mite.” The colors were perfect for this masculine card. You can find the file here: svg, silhouette.

Begin by cutting all pieces you will need. I assembled each section of the card, as shown in photo 2. Next, I folded the large brown base pieces and adhered them back to back, as shown in photo 4.

The first photo (below) shows the brown pieces adhered back to back, with the top flaps folded outward. Turn the pieces over to the side with the slots. I inserted the large banner/drink piece into the middle slot (photo 2 below), placing strong tape on the back of the large flap. This is adhered directly to the middle divider inside the card. You will repeat this for the foam finger piece and popcorn piece, placing tape on the small folded flap. Slide it down and adhere to base piece.

After inserting all 3 pieces into the slots, it’s time to close the base piece at the bottom with strong tape. Photo 4 shows a side image of the base once it has been sealed with strong tape.

Now prepare the long belt piece by adding patterned paper and folding all score lines in the same direction. This piece will wrap around to form a box. Add adhesive to the small folded flap to complete the shape.

And now it all comes together! Slide the layered base piece into the completed belt piece. You will add adhesive to the upper middle part of the foam finger pieces and the back side of the popcorn piece. The area from the score line down to the small “feet” will extend below and should not have adhesive on it.

Once the base of the card is secured inside the belt, it’s time to open up the piece and reveal the amazing 3d design! The “feet” should fit into the small cuts on either side of the belt piece.

I hope this inspires you to create a pop up card! They are incredible designs that fit together like a die cut puzzle. Click on the picture below, and it will take you right to the file on Lori’s site. Thanks for stopping by the blog today! — Lindsay

3D Rainbow Bouquet

June 8, 2026June 7, 20262 Comments

Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today to share another card from the gorgeous 3D Flowers Bouquet 3 release from Lori Whitlock called 3D Rainbow Bouquet (SVG), (Silhouette).

I used foam squares to raise my flowers. I embossed 1 of the vase panels with a pretty swirl & heart embossing folder. I decided to add a cute little unicorn to my card so I used one of the unicorns from Doodlebug Design’s Fairy Tales Collection (SVG), (Silhouette). Lastly I embellished with some sprinkles & added my sticker from the coordinating Doodlebug Design Fary Tales Sticker Sheet.
