A Special Giveaway

About a month ago I was contacted by Lori Gentile about a new kit club she’s starting. She wanted me to contribute to her monthly kits. I thought it sounded interesting and decided to join in the fun. The site launched TODAY. And, it’s so cute! You need to go check it out.

Gossamer Blue is a new monthly kit club dedicated to inspiring and motivating memory keepers and crafters alike. Each main kit is well coordinated with a mix of products from multiple manufacturers. The best part? Each main kit features a set of Lori Whitlock digital designs. The digital file contains both SVG (for use with electronic die cutting machines) and PNG files custom colored to match the kit (for use in Photoshop and/or Word). The designs are current, stylish and practical and can be used over and over, again.

This is the first month’s kit. Isn’t it CUTE!

Here’s a layout created by Cindy Liebel using the new kit. You’ll notice that she used a special edition of my “7 Tabs” cutting file found HERE. Great layout Cindy!

How about 5 chances to WIN this beautiful kit ($34.95 value)?

Summer 2012 CHA Release

Hi everybody. I had this post ready to go yesterday… but due to a delay in Echo Park’s announcement, I’ve held this back for a day…

I’m here in Chicago today for the first day of CHA and I’m so EXCITED to share my new releases! The Echo Park booth is setup and ready to go. I’m heading down in just a few minutes to join the fun. But, before I leave I wanted to post my new collections for Echo Park that are debuting today.

FOR THE RECORD is back by popular demand! FTR was such a hit and we’ve had so many requests for more that we decided to release a For the Record 2. This time we’re releasing 2 color schemes. You can see them below.

To share the excitement and FUN of CHA with everyone at home… let’s do a GIVEAWAY!! I’ll be giving away one complete collection of Tailored and one complete collection of Documented (that includes brads, chipboard, and layered chipboard). To enter to win make sure you’ve signed up for my email updates (to the right) and post a comment (below). I’ll announce the 2 winners next Tuesday! Good luck!

Natalie has all the instructions posted on her blog, so you can take her word for it. She has many step by step instructions, which include pictures to help you. Thanks Natalie, these are so fun, and a great way to personalize a T-shirt.

Lori Whitlock Design Team Blog Hop

Welcome to our Lori Whitlock Design Team Summer Blog Hop. Who’s enjoying the summer? I know I am! The Design Team has been working hard to share some awesome ideas with you today. So go check out all their fun projects!

To thank you for your support and for joining us… I’m giving you a FREE pinwheel SVG file. You can download it HERE until midnight. After that it will be available in my SHOP. Be sure you visit Natalie’s blog today for some super cute ideas of how to use this file!

I’ve created several new files this week that are available at both the Silhouette Online Store and in my SVG SHOP. I’ve created some really cute cards with a “frame” theme. First, there’s the Double Gatefold Cards that create a shaped window when closed. Use a stamped sentiment, flower, or graphic to customize these cards for many occasions. Next are the adorable gift card boxes! These boxes feature a “shelf” inside with slits diecut to hold a gift card. There are lids in several themes along with some all occasion styles. I also designed some Nesting Window Cards that are absolutely adorable when cut. These feature 4 flaps that when folded in the correct order create a nested window shape in the center. Again, you can use stamps, flowers, and graphics to customize these cute cards. And, I also created an envelope that these fit into perfectly. Oh, and don’t miss that SUPER CUTE Party Purse. It’s a perfect size for housing party favors and embellishing for any occasion. YOU CAN VIEW THEM ALL HERE. And they best part is…

All the new SVG shapes are on SALE through Saturday in my SHOP. Go get ’em while they’re discounted!

Your next stop on the Blog Hop is: Natalie Graham.

Have a super Tuesday!!
