Butterfly Kisses by Corri

Today we are bringing you an adorable project by Corri…

I love the new bracket shaped card that Lori just added to the shop.

It has such an elegant feel and this lace damask paper from the Echo Park- Sweet Girl Collection is a perfect match.   I cut a scallop circle and flag label  from this set and two butterflies.  I embossed the pink one with my Cuttlebug D’vine Swirls folder and added some clear glitter to the turquoise one.  Applying glue to the center of the butterfly only, allow the wings to be lifted for added dimension.

The bracket flap treat box compliments the card perfectly and makes this into an adorable gift set.

I added some ribbon, a rosette, and a die cut flower sticker from the Sweet Girl Collection.

Flip Swing Cards by Christine

These cards are one of my favorite products that Lori has created and Christine has done such a great job personalizing them. LOVE these Christine!  lisa
Lots of oohs, and aahs occur when I showed these cards to friends.  The Swing Flip cards are just adorable and oh, so much fun.

Just pull the sides and the card opens to reveal the inside and the backside of the front panel.  Lori has created these great card files in many different panel shapes.  Everything from scalloped circles to squares to stars.

Here is another look at the card from a different angle.  I used papers and pretty stickers from the brand new collection Sweet Girl by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.  The sentiment Happy Birthday came from another card file by Lori called, Happy Birthday card set.

I also made a fun flip card for a boy using the brand new paper collection, All About A Boy, by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.  This particular flip card file also includes the panel shapes that I used to cut the patterned paper from.

Sorry that the card looks a little warped.  These kinds of cards are little hard to keep standing for photographs.  This photograph shows what the inside of the boy card looks like when pulled apart.

 I added a little washi tape on the panels.  Yes, new washi tape from Echo Park!!  Love it!!  The next photograph shows the back of the card.  I used some of the Echo Park matching cardstock paper to create the card base.  It is a double sided paper with orange on one side and red on the other.

Hi everyone!  I wanted to share a pretty Mother’s Day card that I made with files from Lori Whitlock

Thank You Card by Natalie

Today we have a beautiful Thank You card by Natalie…
The other day I was in need of a thank you cards for some cute neighbors.  They needed to be signed by a group of girls, so they needed to be big enough to hold lots of comments.  So I made these cute mini albums which turned out to be the perfect thank yous.
I used Lori’s mini album with the round end found here.  I love that it comes with files for all the middle pages, but a little binding piece and a cover for the front.  I cut it out with Echo Park‘s For the Record 2, which had the perfect embellishments to cover the front and back pages.  I filled them full of blank pages and handed out each page to all the girls who were writing notes, then took all them and bound it into a cute book.  I hope that these become a treasure for the recipients of the books and know how much we love them!

Spring & Easter projects by Christine & Natalie

Today we have 2 different Creative Team members sharing their talents with us. First is Christine, she says…
I have created a mini book using the Mini Album Pinking Edge and some papers and embellishments from Sweet Girl by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.  These are just a few of the pages.  You can see the rest at my blog.

The front page of the mini book has a banner title that is part of the Sweet Girl collection by Echo Park in the Silhouette store.  I loved that I could make this banner larger so it really becomes the focus of the page.

I used another digital cutting file by Lori, called Scalloped Shapes for the background of this journaling card that is part of the paper pack.

You can see yet another frame on this page from Lori Whitlock.  It is called the 4×6 Frame in the Silhouette Store

Mini books are really so much fun, especially when you can cut out your own.  It easy to add as many pages as you want and even alter the size.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by to see my project.

 Natalie has a beautiful Easter project to share with us. 
I’ve been know to make big signs for my front porch.  So when I brought this wooden pallet sign for my front door home from my local craft store, my son immediately said, “Mom, that isn’t nearly big enough for the front porch.”  I said, “silly, it’s for the front door.”  I had to figure out how to make it work, because I just had to bring the pallet looking sign home.  And since Easter is around the corner, I came up with this:

I first cut out the Easter saying out of vinyl, and placed it on the unpainted pallet.  Then I painted the wooden pallet blue, sanded and distressed it, removing the vinyl to reveal the color below.  I then cut out the Easter egg out of card stock, and using mod podge adhered it to foam core.  I then used plain old doilies, and cut circles and used the left over flowers that were cut to make the banner and stapled them to some twine and attached it to the pallet using hot glue.  It took me about an hour to make it.

I used the following files from Lori Whitlock’s store
Easter phrase – found here
Easter egg set – found here
