Apple Cards for Teacher by Aimee

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today and I have a couple of year end apple shaped cards to let your child’s teacher know how special they are!

I combined a couple of Lori’s cuts to create these cards. For the card base I used the Gift Card Holder Apple (SVG or Silhouette) and sentiment is the new Big Heart Teach Little Minds (SVG or Silhouette).

A little tip for you…I centered the sentiment on the apple and then highlighted the two cuts and clicked on “make compound path” to get this cut below. Then I cut it out and laid it on top of my card to know exactly where to glue my letters down.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Pop Up Drawer Card with Traci

Hi everyone!  It’s Traci, from Artsy Albums.  Despite my love for mini albums, I do occasionally have fun with cards, especially when I come across a card design as cute as this one!  

Isn’t this fun?!  The top of the box lays flat, and then when you pull the drawer open, the top lifts up.  Lori has lots of Pop Up Drawer designs in her shop.  (This file is also available in the Silhouette Store here.)    Here is a shot of the back … 
I tucked in a gift card and my present is all set … super cute and fun to make!  The paper, also designed by Lori for Echo Park, is called Wish Upon A Star.  
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today!

Customized Graduation Cards with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with some Graduation cards. We have at least 4 graduation parties coming up and I wanted to use the new Flexi Card Congrats Grad (SVG, Silhouette).  I decided to embellish them a bit and also to add a gift card pocket to the back of the card.  I used the Graduation Cap with Year (SVG, Silhouette), and the pocket piece from the Gift Card Purse (SVG, Silhouette) to customize my cards.

I looked up the colors for each of the schools and used those colors for the frame and background piece on the Flexi Cards.  I resized the graduation cap and year to fit the front of the card and added them with some foam tape to make them pop a bit.  I used a gold enamel dot to top off the tassel.

I resized the pocket from Gift Card Purse to fit on the back of the card, this way I can add a little something to the card!

Below, I’ve highlighted the pieces I resized so you can see how big to make them if you wish to recreate this card. (you can also use the pocket on the other cards in the Flexi Card Sentiment Bundle as well)

(Measurements:  Hat: 1.161″h x 2.25″w    Year:  1.140″h x 1.0″w   Pocket:  1.991″h x 4.463″w)

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

Father’s Day Tool Box Card Tutorial with Anita

Hi Everyone:

Now that we have celebrated Mom it is time to start thinking about the Dad!  I made this sweet card which was so easy to put together for my hubby.  I used the A2 Father’s Day Toolbox Card cut file which you can find here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette store.  I used two of Lori’s wonderful Echo Park lines, Wish Upon a Star and I’d Rather be Crafting.

Here are the cut out card pieces and the embellishments that I used from her Wish Upon a Star collection for the bolts on the front of the tool box.

You are going to want to fold your score lines.  Lori’s file includes holes for the brads.  I didn’t punch them out because I wanted to use the enamel dots instead.  You will have a nice pocket in the front to fit the tools when you are done.

I wanted a more plain design to show on the inside so I cut extra  inserts and glued them down.

Here are all the pieces ready to be glued into the pocket.  I popped three of them up to give the card some more dimension.

That’s it for me today.  Lori has lots of wonderful Father’s Day cards and gift boxes for all your celebrations.  This card came out really wonderful and I’m sure that one of the Dad’s in my life are going to love it.

Hugs,

Anita

Digital Inspiration with the Silhouette Software

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday from Ashley.  I’m bringing you a little different post today.  I created an invite within Silhouette software.  I create digital layouts and invites in Photoshop Elements, but I wanted to show you that you can also create digital cards and invites in Silhouette Studio.

I used Lori’s Island Paradise Digital Files found here.  She also has an SVG kit of these items in her shop here. I used the adorable Flamingo from Paige Evans found here.

Fonts: LW Darling Script, LW Perfect Type here or here.

If you need to save and print invites at a print shop, just select Print and choose a PDF printer.  This saves your file as a PDF.  Ready to print.

Enjoy!
