NEW Christmas SVG projects + 30% OFF

Did you see the new Santa, Snowman, and Reindeer Shutter Cards and the Santa, Snowman, and Reindeer Tag Bags? I love these little tag bags because they use paper efficiently – you can fit 2 on a 12×12 sheet of cardstock! That makes them great for producing them in larger quantities for a party, teacher gifts, or neighbor gifts. They are sized just right to fit candy or gift cards inside. And, the best thing about these projects is that they feature some NEW 2018 Christmas characters. These characters can be used on all kinds of holiday projects and are designed to layer easily. I know they look complicated, but I promise they are not nearly as hard to layer as they look. You’ll find more of these cute little tag bags in the SHOP featuring Halloween and Thanksgiving themes.  And here is a closer look at the new Christmas themed Shutter Cards!

And, this week all files in the  Lori Whitlock SVG Shop are 30% off, just use code OCT2018 at checkout!  It’s the perfect time to gather some holiday crafting files! Sale ends Saturday at midnight. shop.loriwhitlock.com

Halloween Fun with Cathy

I love Halloween paper crafting, I can simply never get enough and it’s so easy to create little treat boxes for all your favorite ghouls with all the choices you have from Lori.  There are tons of boxes and bags at her shop or at the Silhouette online Design Store.  I used an older Halloween Collection for Echo Park today for my projects.

First up two little treat boxes, easy peasy and go together in a matter of seconds once you have them cut out on your machine.  I used the 2 favor boxes on 12×12 at Silhouette  and the ribbon tie bracket favor box silhouette version or ribbon tie bracket favor box at Lori’s Shop.

Then I created a cute card and little paper bag for another little ghoul!  I used the a2 pop dot bat card, silhouette version and here at Lori’s shop.  Then just an adorable little paper bag that just takes seconds…bag with rounded top, Silhouette version and here at Lori’s shop.

Thanks for stopping by today and check out all of Lori’s great treat and favor boxes…the possibilities are endless.

Shutter Card Tutorial with Kathy

Happy Fall Everyone!  Today I have a quick assembly tutorial for Lori’s new Shutter Cards.  These cards are such fun and have some great dimension.  I used the Shutter Card Squirrel file (SVG, Silhouette) for my tutorial along with some papers and embellishments from Echo Park’s Celebrate Autumn Collection.

 

The actual assembly of these cards is pretty simple, it’s mostly the folds that need some attention.  I started by cutting out the pieces of my card.

Next I added the patterned paper panels to the different sections of the card.  I like to do this before folding because I think it helps me to visualize how things should be.

Once the panels were added, I folded the card along the score lines.

Here is a view of the folds from the top of the card.

I put together this graphic showing how the folds should be.  The upside down V means mountain fold (popping up when lying flat) and the V is a valley fold (pointing down when lying flat).

Once the card was folded, I added the additional embellishments.  I started with the squirrel on the bracket shape.  I added some foam tape under the bracket to give it a little more dimension.

Next, I added the insert with the leaf and acorn.  I started by adding adhesive to the bottom front strip of the piece.

I then tucked this piece in behind the front strip on the card base as seen below.

I finished the card with a cute chipboard piece sentiment from the Celebrate Autumn Chipboard Phrases.

This card folds flat and will fit into an A7 (5.25″ x 7.25″) envelope (Lori has a set here in her shop) .  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
