3D Letter and Ornate Gatefold Card with Tya

April 18, 2016April 17, 2016

Hi everyone – it’s Tya and I am so happy to share with you all a few of my favorite new cut files from Lori Whitlock. With Mother’s Day (and my Mom’s Birthday) around the corner – I thought I would get a jump start on my gift giving with this fun set.

These files were just what I was looking for. I used the Petticoats line that Lori designed for Echo Park. I love the floral, feminine feel to this line. And aren’t the colors lovely? Let me give you a closer look:

First up is this beautiful card. I used the 5×7 Ornate Gatefold Card (Silhouette) (LW SVG). I love how I was able to use one of the 4×6 cards found in the Petticoat papers for the perfect sentiment. I used some stickers from the collection as well as some jewels and washi tape to decorate the card.

I have been so looking forward to using one of Lori’s new 3D Letters. They are so slick to put together!! Only 2 tabs on the top and bottom are all you need. I used the letter “L” (Silhouette) (LW SVG) for my mom’s name – Leisa. She can place this on her desk at work. I also added one of Lori’s new 3D Flowers (Silhouette) (LW SVG) to decorate it. She always does the most beautiful job on these flowers. So realistic looking!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope I have inspired you to pick up these fun new files and give these projects a try. Happy Crafting!

Thanking the Best Teacher

When you literally have no time and HAVE to throw a card together, Lori Whitlock comes to the rescue with thousands of designs and design elements that can save the day and make you look like a PRO!

All this card took was some patterned paper with a school theme and one of Lori’s designs. I used Cricut Design Space to upload the images, flatten the elements and use the print then cut function to put together my card.

For this card, I used Lori Whitlock’s Teacher Thank You Tags file set.

20160406-2016-04-05_21-38-44 — After uploading my files, I flattened the images I wanted to print, then cut.

I did the same with the school house I used on the inside of the card.

This is how the images looked after they were flattened.

Design Space prepared the print then cut for me.

Then I chose my printer and the settings I wanted to use.

After printing, my image was ready to cut. — After printing, my image was ready to cut with my Cricut Explore.

Ready to cut the front sentiment for the card.

It's just too easy. — It’s just too easy.

With a little schoolhouse on the inside.

It’s a simple card, but it took no more than 15 minutes and I didn’t have to go out and buy one.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Strawberry Carton Box Card Assembly Tutorial with Tya

March 24, 2016March 23, 2016

Hi Lori Whitlock fans – its Tya today I am up on the blog to show you how to assemble the adorable new Strawberry Carton Box Card.

This is a little different than the box cards that Lori has previously came out with so I wanted to walk you through how to put this card together. Lets get started!

First off – open the file. It can be found here on the Silhouette Store or here on the Lori Whitlock site. Here’s what it looks like after I have ungrouped the box base from the leaves and strawberries.

Next, just to make things easier – Lori has numbered the leaf layers to make sure you know how the layers go front to back on the inside of the box. I’ve numbered them even bigger so you can see better.

Here are the leaf layers ungrouped by the papers I used.

Just to note – there a little yellow circles on the cut file for the flower centers, but I used some glitter dot stickers on mine instead. 🙂

For the label I did a print and cut title using Lori’s LW Brush Font

Now that all the pieces are cut out, I assembled all the pieces. I added some brown ink to the edges of the cut outs for some added dimension.

Add adhesive to the leave layers as shown.

I then assembled the box.

I then started layering the leave sections into the center of the box. The first section is glued right to the front edge of the inside of the box.

Here is the box all assembled. It folds down nice a easy so you can send it to that special someone.

This was a really fun box to put together and now that I have shown you how easy it is to assemble, I hope I have inspired you to make a few of your own! Thanks for stopping by!
