Stacking Base Swirls by Lezlye

January 16, 2017January 15, 2017

Welcome to Lori’s blog! Today I have a card I made using just the Stacking Base Swirls file. These cards are so fun and can provide a great base in which to layer sentiments, flowers or even a cut out paper pieced character. I think I want every design Lori has designed!

The hardest part is deciding which colors of papers to use and in what order. You might need to cut several and play with layering them. I pulled out some coordinating flowers, brads and as an afterthought added a ribbon.

I felt this sentiment that would be good for a sympathy card, one of the hardest cards to make.

Here’s a link to the file

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

Peek a Boo Card Assembly with Corri

January 12, 2017January 11, 2017

Hi everyone! Corri here today sharing a quick assembly tutorial for the new Peek – a – Boo card. I love these cute cards and there are several options available in Lori’s Shop.

When you cut the layers for the card, this is what you will end up with.

The navy layer is the card base. Fold along the score lines so the circular tab fits inside the circle.

The two pattern papers I cut go on the card face.

The white layer is for the interior of the card.

Finally, the scallop circle is glue in place over the circular tab. To finish your card you can use the print and cut hat included with the file or use elements from a paper collection like I did. I used paper and stickers from the Echo Park – Little Man Collection.

Head over to Lori’s Shop to see all her new files.

Birthday Cake Exploding Box with Courtney

January 9, 2017January 9, 2017

Hello!!!! Courtney Lee from Court’s Crafts here with a little Kit of the Month inspiration!

My mother in law’s birthday is coming up and when I saw this exploding box card as part of the kit of the month then I knew I wanted to make it for her! She is going to love it!

I used Lori’s “Happiness is Homemade” collection for Echo Park Paper for this card. The colors are so old-fashioned-scrumptious.

I didn’t even need to add details for this to look impressive. I love that – when a cut files lends itself to being awesome by just cutting it… that’s what I love about Lori Whitlock’s cut files. Try it and see!

Check out this month’s kit of the month! It is FREE with any $20 purchase if you add it to your card and use the coupon code: JANKOTM

3D Birthday Cake Explosion Box – Silhouette Store

Be Mine by Lezlye

January 5, 2017January 3, 2017

Welcome and Happy New Year 2017! I decided to skip right to Valentine’s Cards. They are among my favorite to make. These box card files can be done up so many ways! You can add other files like I did here.

I decided to weld my sentiment, You simply Ungroup the image in Cricut Design Space then move the letter so they are touching and Highlight all the letters and hit the weld button! Voila the letters are connected!

I did a little double embossing trick dry emboss then using distress ink on raised area and clear embossing powder on the outside rectangles. I added and inside layer by hand-cutting that layer to fit inside.
