Lemonade Anyone?

Happy Memorial Day!  To me it always been the unofficial start to summer…  and summer makes me think of sitting on the patio or boat sipping lemonade!.  When I saw this adorable Lemonade Stand Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) I just had to make it!

This “sweet” card (pun totally intended…) is easy to assemble.  The sentiments are done using the print and cut function of your cutting machine, and if you need a little help, this general assembly tutorial for shaped box cards will get you pointed in the right direction.  It also folds flat for mailing and will fit in the free Center Box Card Envelope in Lori’s Shop.  It’s the perfect little card to send to someone to let them know you’re thinking of them!

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Happy Shiny New Day Friends!  It’s Moriah Macdonald from Fuzzy Slippers Designs fluttering by today to share my Butterfly Card Set made using Lori’s Butterfly Shaped Card (SVG, Silhouette).  I am so super excited to join all of you today and to share my creations thanks to Lori’s amazing cut files!! Every year around this time I start wishing for all things flowers and butterflies.  It can be a bit tricky up here in New England cause we had snow and then were 80’s all just last week!  While I wait for the butterflies to show up in real life, I can quench my desires with these SUPER EASY and SUPER FUN cards.  I think we can all use a little easy these days. Am I right?!?

Look at all the parts you get when you download this Butterfly Shaped Card (SVG, Silhouette)! It will cut you the fold-over card, a butterfly base, the smaller shaped butterfly that you cut from pattern paper and mount on the base, and the butterfly abdomen.  All are sized to cut an A2 card, so all you need to do is decide with pattern papers to use!!! (Full disclosure-that was THE HARDEST PART for me. LOL!)

Pro-tip Number One- The abdomen of the butterfly is a little larger on the bottom.  Play around with it BEFORE you glue to make sure you have figured out which end is up. I glued the abdomen onto the pattern paper and then glued all of that to the white butterfly base.

Pro-Tip Number Two- When you go to glue everything to the card base, add the glue to the foldover card.  In order for the foldover to work the wings need to be shorter on the foldover base.  That means your pretty butterfly that you just glued together in the previous steps is going to stick out over the top of the foldover and you don’t want the very tips of the butterfly wings to have sticky glue and mess up your beautiful creation! 

Easy-peasy right?!? These would make a great craft kit to occupy the kiddos!  Cut all the parts and the next rainy day pull out the kit.  The kids can put together the cards and then write notes to loved ones to drop in the mail. The size is just right for an “I love you” or “Happy Birthday” message from a kiddo.  Everyone loves happy mail!!!

Hope you were inspired to try this! Please tag me if you do @fuzzyslippersdesigns. I’d LOVE to see your butterfly creations!!!

Happy Crafting!
