I just finished adding Lori’s new shapes to the shop just in time for the sale and wanted to share them with you. I love the new layouts and vinyl art.
New in Shop at Lori Whitlock
Are You Ready for Christmas?
I have some eye candy to share with you, but before I show you, I want to tell you about our Happy Holidays Sale. So you can buy all the shapes you see here, and in the shop, for 25% off your $5 or more order. What a great Christmas present for yourself. I do that sometimes, do you? Better yet, grab some cute packaging for your gift cards and small gifts. I loved the reaction I got last week from my parents when I gave them presents in the “Gift Card Holder Horizontal”. They loved the packaging almost more than their birthday gifts, which made the present even better.
Today Natalie shares some beautiful projects with us as we near Christmas. I have loved seeing our Creative Team’s projects this month. They have all been amazing. Each day I think this one is the best, but then I get another project. I can not pick my favorite. I want one of each, todays projects included. Natalie has used the “Gift Card Holder Horizontal” and “Gift Card Holder Vertical.”
Natalie created a digital Daily December album then made this cute cover from paper and SVG files from the shop.
Natalie has so many more pictures and information on her blog, so be sure you go check them out.

YOU MAKE ME HAPPY LAYOUT
by Shirlee Keddington
by Jenn McCabe using Lori’s Christmas Eve Collection, which also coordinates with her Christmas Day Collection
Our Lisa Barrie created this beauty with this template! She always amazes me at what she can put together and have it look so perfect. She has used the Patriotic Picnic Collection as well as the Happy Day Collection and Lazy Summer Days and finally the Flourish Brushes from Lori.
LIFE IS GOOD LAYOUT
by Tracy King using Lori’s Fall Fling Collection
and would you like to see what our own Lisa Barrie has created with these templates? She always impresses me! And has wonderful tutorials on her blog, check it out here.
I love, love, LOVE how she incorporated the arrows from the other template and truly made this template her own with lots of added details. Templates can be a great starting point. For this layout she used Echo Park’s Charming collection designed by Lori.
Don’t forget ALL of Lori’s digital kits (Echo Park kits included) are 40% at Jessica Sprague until the end of the year.
Silhouette Shop News
With all the changes to the Silhouette Online Store it has caused some issues with the site which I’m sure you’ve noticed. Things have been slow and images have been hard to find. I know their programmers have been working diligently to resolve the problems. So, things are getting better. I just thought you’d want to know that ALL Christmas shapes are on sale for 25% off. During that crazy down time, Lori has added some NEW shapes, that I LOVE, and I want to make sure you saw them. And, right now you can pick them up on sale at the Silhouette Online Store. All of these shapes are available in SVG format at the Lori Whitlock Shop, also. Hope you are safe and sound this holiday season.
Christmas Layout by Mendi and cards by Christine
Are you ready for some scrapbooking? This is where my first love of paper crafting started, so it will always sing brighter in my heart than other paper crafts. I am not sure what I love more the happy papers or the cute grin, both are equally heart warming, right? Don’t forget to pop over to her blog because she has many wonderful goodies there.
Mendi says “For this layout I let the adorable stickers and patterned papers that came with Echo Park Happy Holidays collection inspire my design. I was sad to realize some of the collection stickers weren’t the right size for my needs and I couldn’t find a way to fit the larger tree print paper on my layout, but with the help of Lori’s cutting files I was able to capture the same feel by diecutting similar trees and creating my own diecut snowflake banner. I love the result. The colors just feel happy!”
Cutting Files already used from Lori’s Shop:
Thanks Mendi this layout is adorable!
Next up I have some adorable cards by Christine. She used the Matchbox gift card holder for the base of her cards as well as the Echo Park This and That Christmas collection, designed by Lori.
Look at the different ways she finished off these cards. I love that she used ribbon and brads for these two cards and give each of them a different look.
Christine says “If you need a couple of gift card holders quick but want them to look like you took hours to make, then the Matchbox gift card holder is just what you need. They are super easy to cut out and put together and they look adorable and oh so fancy.”
Just plain brilliant I say, easy and cute, my favorite combination.
Christine used the following files for these cards.
She also has some more pictures and instructions on her blog, so be sure to head over and check it out. Thanks Christine! Love these.
Hope these amazing projects help inspire you this Christmas season.
