Doodlebug Design Cut File Feature – My Happy Place

Hi Everyone!  Today I’m showcasing another fabulous project using Doodlebug Design’s cut files!  This “tweet” little card was created by Kathy Skou for Doodlebug Design.

 

Kathy transformed the  Bird in Cage file from the My Happy Place Collection to make her fun 3D card.

For more details you can see her original post here.   New Doodlebug Design SVG files are being added to the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop on a regular basis, so stop by to see all of the fun SVG files HERE!

Have a great day!

It’s Grilling Time

Hello everyone! Marcia here today.  Well, it is officially summer and grilling season is well underway!  I thought I would stock up on my birthday cards now before my garden starts demanding more of my time. Making a masculine card for a special guy can be challenging, but this Grill Box Card with Hamburger and Hot Dog (SVGSilhouette) is the perfect card for the master griller. I added a birthday sentiment from the Lori Whitlock Birthday Boy collection. This card would be great for retirement, housewarming, or to accompany a hostess gift too.

Lori has lots of Summer card ideas in her shop. Go check them all out and have some fun making your own cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Patriotic Bird House Tutorial

Have you seen the new Patriotic Birdhouses in Lori’s SVG shop and in her Silhouette Store Gallery?

 

Today I’m featuring the 3D Birdhouse with Stand Patriotic File (SVG,Silhouette)  I put together a quick tutorial for you.

1. First, cut out all the pieces of the Birdhouse:

2. Next, glue all the roof layers starting with the biggest piece and stacking and adhering each smaller piece on top of it.

3. Adhere the star to the birdhouse door.

4. Fold the tabs on the body of the birdhouse, and fold to form and glue.  All tabs are folded in the same direction.

4. Glue the bird pieces together.  Black piece is the back, the light piece in the middle, and the blue piece on top with the wing.

5. Fold the base pieces and glue the tabs together.  These form a little box that will hold the post.

6. Fold and adhere the post.

7. Use glue or glue dot to attach the bird to the front of the birdhouse.  Stick the post into the base and glue. And stick the birdhouse onto the post and glue.

It is such a fun birdhouse to add to your décor for the summer!

Have a great day!

Tropical Suitcase Box Card

Hi guys, Traci here! Today, I’m sharing a great summer card that has me dreamin’ about the sun, sand and tropical vibes. It’s made with one of Lori’s awesome cutting files called Box Card Tropical Suitcase (SVG, Silhouette) and the flamingo, hibiscus and palm tree are perfect for this time of year.

Pop-up Card with Flamingo, Palm Tree, Hibiscus Flower

I love all the details on this card … especially on the little blue suitcase. Check out the handle and those tiny corner pieces with the enamel dots. So cute! This card would be perfect for a summer themed party, a birthday, someone who loves flamingos or traveling, or simply telling someone you’re thinkin’ of them!

It looks great sitting on a desk or a counter for a little summertime décor and it folds flat for mailing and storage. I made this with cardstock from my stash and Echo Park’s Endless Summer collection designed by Lori.

Lori has so many amazing cards … I hope you’ll try this one next. Happy crafting!
