Spring Fling Embroidery Hoop with Cathy

Happy Spring everyone!  I think it may have finally arrived here in Michigan, but we are supposed to get a little bit of snow today.  Hoping it doesn’t last long, I’m so ready for sunshine and warmer weather.  I have a fun project to share with you today with an embroidery hoop and one of Lori’s mason jar box cards.  Lots of dimension,  pretty spring patterns and colors.

I used Echo Park’s Spring Fling collection designed by Lori to create my project.  I started with an 8 inch wooden embroidery hoop.  Adding the paper to the embroidery hoop can be a bit tricky and time consuming, but I love the results.  I found this tutorial and it was really easy to do.  After I had my hoop done, I cut all the fun little pieces for Mason Jar Pinwheel Box Card that you can find here in Silhouette or here at Lori’s shop

I inked the edges of everything with Broken China Distress Ink and assembled it, once it’s all cut it really only takes a few minutes to assemble.  I added the 4×4 sentiment from the collection kit to the embroidery hoop and then attached my box card with Scor-tape plus few pop dots.  I added a few stickers from Spring Fling, a  bit of twine and enamel dots.

Here you can see all the dimension that these box cards have.  So fun!

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have a Spring filled week with sunny skies and warm temperatures.

Spring and Easter Cards with Cathy!

Just when I think Spring is finally here, I wake up to snow.  I’m so ready for Spring days, but until that finally arrives these cute cards with Spring colors will have to do.  I have 3 cards to share with you today created with Lori’s files…first up the flower shaped mother’s day card, that I just turned into a cute spring card.  It can be found in here Silhouette and here Lori’s shop .  I used my Silhouette sketch pens for a little more definition and added the grass border file, find it here on Silhouette, and here in Lori’s shop.   So cute and springy!

Next, I made a fun shaker card for Easter with Lori’s Echo Park Easter Wishes collection.  I love making shakers and Lori’s files make it so easy to do.  Just layer up your shapes and fill with sequins.  You can find the 3d shaker card here at Silhouette  and here in Lori’s shop.

And one last super quick fun shaped card, again with the adorable Easter Wishes collection.  A little pinwheel card to wish you a Happy Easter.  You can find the file here at Silhouette or here at Lori’s shop!

Don’t forget that Lori is having an Easter Sale in her SVG Shop!  All Easter Themed SVGs are 25% off through Monday when you use code EASTER25 at checkout!
