Custom Wedding Card with Courtney

It’s Courtney Lee from Court’s Crafts here! For this card I used three cut files, embossed, and did a little stamping. 🙂

I arranged the cut files on my screen so that they would be appropriately placed and colored according to my patterned paper I was using.

I had to rearrange the words so that they all fit on my background and then I switched them to “write” instead of cut.

Lastly I “attached” them all to the background cut so that it would cut and write together.

For the front of the card I used the Flourish Frame Set and sized it to take up the whole front of the card. Then I cut everything out.

I embossed the front of the card to give the black background a little “punch” and elegance.

I felt like it needed a little “dressing up”. Stamps and enamel dots to the rescue! 🙂

I stamped the flower decor onto the cake in a matching pink. Then I stamped the bird onto the tux with watermark ink and I stamped the heart flourish onto the dress and used embossing powder to set it and to bring the grey from the background onto the dress.

Check out how awesomely these stamp!

That is it! I really designed the whole thing on my computer and just cut it out and put it together. I love that. Because I can design it anywhere (like while watching a movie) and then I just whip it out!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today and it inspires you to combine multiple cut files into something even better!

Using the Silhouette Intersect Tool with Kathy

Hi Everyone! It’s Kathy today with a quick tutorial on how to use the Intersect Tool in Silhouette. I actually discovered this tool by accident one day, but it is awesome! I used it to make this tag for my cousin’s wedding shower… she is having a fun and crazy Halloween wedding, so this will be perfect! It helped me create the spider web “lace overlay” on the wedding dress.

Here’s how I did it….

First, I picked the two shapes I wanted to combine, I used the dress from the Pop Up Box Card Wedding 2 file (here in Silhouette Store) and one of the spider webs from the Cat’s Ghosts Webs (here in Silhouette Store) file.

Next I overlapped the files. I moved them around until I was happy with the web design that was over the dress.

When I was happy with the placement, I clicked on the modify button on the top right toolbar of the Silhouette Studio Software. There are a variety of tools in the Modify window, but I used Intersect, which will display all the parts of the 2 files that intersect, while deleting everything else.

To use the Intersect tool, I selected both shapes on my mat, then clicked Intersect.

This is what remains after I clicked Intersect. The spider web was modified to be in the exact shape of the dress.

When I bring the dress back onto the mat, you can see that the spider web fits perfectly into the dress shape.

This is such a fun way to combine files! I added the updated dress to the tag, along with some other decorations and a sentiment I created with my sketch pens. It’ll be the perfect present topper! That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Happy Birthday Pop Up Box Card with Lezlye

Let’s Celebrate! Welcome to Lori’s Blog, Lezlye here from Lezlye Lauterbach Designs today to share the fabulous Birthday Pop Up Box Cards. I chose this one because I have a few friends with birthday’s this month including me!

I chose some pretty patterned papers and I embellished with inks, stickles and enamel dots.

This photo here shows how the stars are suspended behind the cake. The card folds to be a size 5.5 x 5.5 card.

I inked the papers and pieces using distress ink because it blends so well. On the package I actually spritzed it with water and removed some of the ink. The Top of the gift as well as the cake were run through my big shot with and embossing folder to add texture to them. Ink and embossing powders were added and heated on the dry embossed pieces.

I used my Cricut Explore to cut all of the pieces except this sentiment. I pulled my cameo out for that so that the letters came out clean. I love the look of these two fonts together! I hope you enjoyed how I spruced up my card, get some of these Awesome files and try it yourself!

Hot Air Balloon Pop Up Box Card with Courtney

Hey Lori Whitlock fans! This is Courtney Lee from Court’s Crafts and I am here with the new Let’s Be Mermaids collection by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park AND one of her new pop up box cards – the hot air balloon one.
…. soooooo who says that hot air balloons have to be in the air? If I were a mermaid I would want to have hot air balloons in the ocean. 😉 I used my Cricut Air to write “Thank You” with the pen feature. It makes life so easy!

 

Okay… so I may have gotten a little sparkle enamel dot happy… I LOVE these enamel dots! They are so so so sparkly!
Here is an “arial” shot of it. 🙂 Do you like how I did that? Arial shot? It’s like “from above” hot air balloon style AND like Ariel from that Disney movie. 😉
Pick up some of these pop up box cards! They are so much fun. I would be embarrassed to tell you how many I have…. 😉 Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a beautiful day!
