Let’s Go Anywhere Envelope Box Cards

Oh how I love this new collection from Lori and Echo Park, Let’s Go Anywhere!  It is just so fun and the perfect colors and patterns, I am smitten.  I am also head over heels for Lori’s Envelope Box Cards, they are just too easy to assemble and way too cute.  They really go together quickly, fold flat for mailing and bring a smile to everyone. (for a tutorial, see this post)  You can find them individually in Lori’s SVG Shop or in the  Silhouette Design Store.  She has several bundles of envelope box cards available in her shop.  I need them all.

I created two envelope box cards using the base of the  Box Card Envelop Camper file. I just customized them up a bit with some stickers.  I think I’ve said this before, but I absolutely love to use all the fun embellishments from Lori’s Echo Park designs and add them to her files.  I love the look I can create this way.  You can find this card here in the Silhouette Design Store, too.  I just used stickers from Let’s Go Anywhere Sticker Book and enamel dots to create these.  I just adore how they turned out.

I hope you try some of these envelope box cards out.  They are just so fun to create.  Please share with us too!  Have a great Monday!

Making a Shaped Card in Cricut Tutorial

Hi friends! I have a quick tutorial on how I made a card with the Best Teacher Ever file (SVG, Silhouette). Now that Cricut has updated the design space software making a shaped card is easy!

First I resized the apple and leaf to be 5 inches high which made the width 3.96 inches. This file uploaded into Design Space grouped together for me. If it isn’t grouped I recommend grouping it together before resizing.

With the apple selected select the offset feature on the edit tool bar. In the offset window I slid the distance bar to 0.25 inches, selected rounded corners, and left the weld offset box checked.

I then duplicated the offset and flipped one of them horizontally.

Next I moved the two offsets together so they are touching in the center. With the just the offsets selected I aligned them on the bottom and welded the offsets together creating one piece.

I added a score line to the center and aligned and attached it to the offset. (I changed the color from black to white for this picture.)

I needed a solid white apple for the inside of the card and the front of the card.  I duplicated the red apple and welded the image then hid all of the contours. I then duplicated the solid apple image so that I had two.

I also needed to flip the leaf  horizontally so that it would fit correctly on the front of the card. (If you use solid paper you don’t need to do this. I used double sided paper and wanted the green to show.)

Once everything was cut I glued everything together with liquid glue in a fine liner bottle.  (Be sure to keep all of the centers of the letters from the cutting mat.) I used papers from the School Rules collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

Thanks for stopping by!

Shadow Box Card Friends

 

Anita here with a card that I made for a dear friend who is moving away to be closer to her daughter and be in a warmer climate.  I wanted to give her a special card which reflected the importance of her friendship to me.  I made this 5X7 Shadow Box Card Friends which you can find here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used one of Lori’s new Echo Park Paper collections called A Slice of Summer to piece it together.  This card folds flat for mailing and is sure to add some cheer to a friend’s day.

If you need help with assembly, Lori has a video here.  That’s it for me today.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.  Be sure to check out Lori’s other beautiful friendship cards.

Hugs,

Anita
