Bee-Lieve in Happy Little Details

For this project, I mixed and matched several of Lori’s SVG files…multi layered mini albumtiered album tabslibrary pocketshaker sunshine…to create one sweet little bee-themed album full of interactive details.

I used Lori’s Bee Happy paper collection throughout, and I love how the yellows, greens, floral, bees and honey-inspired patterns work together .  It was such a fun way to combine different SVG files into one project while keeping everything cohesive.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that… and whole lot of Bee Happy!

Pumpkin Favor Box 2

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay (Lindsay’s Layouts), sharing a project for the Lori Whitlock Creative Team. I’m hosting a baby shower for a dear friend, and I needed some favor boxes for the attendees to take home with them. I chose the Pumpkin Favor Box 2 (svg, silhouette) and used the “Special Delivery Baby Girl” collection, designed by Lori for Echo Park. The colors in the collection are perfect for a fall baby shower! I also used some kraft and dusty rose cardstock for the bases. Let me walk you through my process:

First, I uploaded the project into Design Space. I cut enough pieces to make 12 boxes. The first photos show a single set of cut pieces. I numbered the flaps in the order that I would fold them into the box. Then I added strong tape to the flaps as shown below.

I wanted more of an open gift bag feel for the favors, so I decided to fold two of the flaps into the box and adhere. This keeps them out of the way. I inked all of my pieces with brown ink and then began assembly. I used foam adhesive to pop up the center of the pumpkin.

I folded all of the panels and adhered the favor box base. Then I wrapped the rose cardstock belt piece around the base. All that’s left is the pumpkin, some cute ribbon and the surprises that will be tucked inside!

The next time you are hosting a party or shower, I hope you’ll consider these quick, adorable favor boxes. They can be customized for any occasion. It was also very easy to make bulk quantities. Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Crafting! — Lindsay

Strawberry Fields Matchbook Mini Album

Just stopping by to share a little strawberry mini with you.  This little book was created with Lori’s Echo Park Strawberry Fields collection and an SVG file that goes way back…..Matchbook Card, (Silhouette Store).  It is just meant to be a card with a little pocket that holds another little card.  But I just kept adding pieces from the Strawberry Fields collection, and it became a mini album.

 

It is loaded with pages.

You can see here how full it is!
And a view with it open!
First you need to open the file and resize it.  It is 12.847 by 13.657.  This gives the matchbook cover a good size to create and fill with papers.
1.  You can see the pieces I cut.
2.  Assemble and adhere your papers.
3.  Your little pocket for the inside is peak and valley folded and adhered with scor tape.
4.  Add the pocket to the inside of your match book.
5.  You can see how everything is lined up here.
6.  Thread the holes to bind the matchbook and pocket together.
Next is where you can make it your own.  I create 6 little pages that include the pocket and mini card.
I just chose pieces from the collection, cut them to fit my idea, then scored them all at 1 inch from the bottom.  This one-inch base is adhered to the bottom of the pocket, and then do another and another…til you have your book filled.
I just used scor-tape on all.
Here you can see how I just started layering them in.  That one-inch score line gives them the ease of movement as you flip through the book
Thank you for stopping by today!
