Fun with Patterned Paper

Hi everyone!  I have some cards to share with you today.  They all were created using Lori’s Echo Park Our Happy Place.  I used the 6×6 paper pad to create these, enamel dots and stickers from the sticker book. I just want to show what a different look you get to these cards when you use patterned papers instead of plain colored card stock.  It makes even the cutesiest of cards have a whole different look.  Some what of softer and bit more sophisticated  look.  I love how these all turned out, this collection has the softest colors and darling little patterns. I am all set for my Easter cards with these being finished now.  

I will have a list at the bottom, in order, of the files I used for these.

Baby Dresser Cards

 Hello Crafty Friends, Noelene here today sharing some sweet baby cards I recently made.

First I created the Baby Dresser Card for a boy (SVG, Silhouette).
I then decided that I loved it so much that I would make a girl version of the card. To do this I changed the little boys romper in the file to the dress from the Baby Girl Dress Card (SVG, Silhouette). To get the size I simply pasted the file on the same page & used the original romper as a guide.

For more inspiration, check out my Instagram!

Box Card Easter Bunny Carrot Car Tutorial

Hello crafty friends!

I created this “Box Card Easter Bunny Carrot Car” because, before you know it, Easter will be here! Follow these simple steps to make your own easter card.

Materials Needed
•    Orange, green, white, black and pink cardstock
•   Cutting machine ( I used my Silhouette Cameo 5)
•    Glue
•    Ink (for decorating the carrot)
•    Lori’s Cutting file ( SVG / SILHOUETTE )

Step 1: Cut Out the Parts

Using cutting machine, you cut out all the necessary components for your card. This includes the shapes for the carrot, the Easter bunny, and card base.

Step 2: Assemble the Orange Card Base

Take your orange cardstock and begin assembling the card base. Apply glue where needed to join the pieces, making sure the base is sturdy and neatly put together. This vibrant orange foundation will set the tone for your design.

Step 3: Construct and Attach the Easter Bunny

Now, focus on the Easter bunny. Glue the individual pieces of the bunny together until it forms a complete figure. Once assembled, attach the bunny securely onto the orange card base.

 

Step 4: Decorate and Assemble the Carrot

Next, add some creative flair to the carrot. I Use ink to decorate the holes in the carrot piece to create a shadow effect.  Glue the parts together carefully. This step gives your card a unique, handmade touch.

Step 5: Attach the Green-White Backside

Finally, complete your project by attaching the green and white cardstock to the back of the orange base. This additional layer not only provides contrast but also reinforces the structure of your card. This backside you can use to write your message on.

And there you have it, a cute carrot card ready to celebrate Easter!

Enjoy crafting and have a wonderful day!

Succulents Box Card

Hi there crafty friends! Today I am sharing the Box Card Succulents card (SVG). I was inspired by the Our Happy Place (Amazon) paper collection by Echo Park Paper. This collection has lots of potted plant imagery and a lovely color palette. I thought this box card would make a cute card for a plant lover. I added a few pen details to the cactus and a good vibes sticker from the paper collection

I love the how this one turned out. Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Birthday Cards! Tutorial

Hello!  Sue here to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day!
 
For my tutorial today I am making several easy print and cut birthday cards from Lori’s fun birthday card bundles. I want to make them all! 
 

 

This really is a fun card!!!
Here you can see the front pieced element. I chose to cut an additional bottom layer to the packages in pink to make the  presents pop more and give it a bit more reinforcement so I could add it to the front with an action wobbler .  I used  the Lori Whitlock’s  Life is Beautiful 6×6 paper pad.
The inside piece is a print and cut. Fold it in half with the sentiment inside
This part is a bit tricky. Its a mountain/valley  sort of thing LOL! What I did to make it real easy is to fold the center back the other way and then from the back pinch each section to crease them. 
Here you can see how the insert looks when folded and ready to add to the card.
 
Glue one side of the insert inside, making sure you align those 5 small folds right at the cardbase fold line. Add glue to the second side and close the card onto the glued insert.
All glued and ready to go!
Both cards are part of the Fabulous Birthday Card Bundle.
 
You can see all the bundles on Lori’s site.

This was a fun one!
I used Lori Whitlock A Slice of Summer papers for the balloons.
I have made several of these cuties. I cut on six/seven different 6×6 papers and cut ALL the balloons out of each color. Then I’m just playing mixy match for each cards.
Glue the balloons on the back of the print and cut and then flip and glue to the card base. It is very pretty to see in person, it has a nice dimension to it!
