A2 Easter Basket Card

March 16, 2026March 15, 2026

Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today I want to share with you an adorable A2 Easter Basket Card (SVG), (Silhouette), from Lori Whitlock.

For this card I cut out all the panels for the basket as per usual. I used some Distress ink to ink the edges on the basket, leaves, feet & ribbon. I created a trim on the front of the basket using a scalloped border die & glued down before I glued the feet on. I hand cut out a piece white felt & glued it onto the tail. I then die cut a border on my white base & layered onto some petite print paper.

Floating Easel Card Sunflower Tutorial

March 12, 2026March 14, 2026

Happy Thursday everyone! Today I am bringing you a tutorial for this fun floating easel card with a sunflower. (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette)

As always, cut all your pieces and have your supplies ready. You will need fishing line for this card.

I folded my 2 pieces on the score marks.

Then added the patterned paper to the base.

I assembled my sentiment and added dimentionals before centering it onto the base.

Assemble your flowers by offsetting the 2 colors of the flower. I also embossed my centers for a little extra texture. You will need to attach the backs of your 2 flowers with your fishing line between the 2 flowers (my fishing line is yellow for you to see better).

Add your circle piece of patterned paper on top followed by your 1st circle border. Attach your fishing line to the top of the circle border left to right. Trim your fishing line so it does not go past the circle border. Add the 2nd circle border over top of the 1st.

When the card is done, the flower will be hanging within the circle.

And when the easel is in place, it is a cute little floating sunflower.

It even swings like the video below.

I’d love to see if you make one of these fun cards. Until then, thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Buzzing with Kindness

March 2, 2026March 6, 2026

Spring seems to be just around the corner…I am sure there is more winter to come here in South Dakota…but I am remaining hopeful. And with Spring just around the corner, it’s time to think about gardening and bees. So I broke out Lori’s Bee Happy collection. This is such a fun collection, and it’s perfect for Spring and Summer.

First, I used Lori’s A2 Honey Card. Silhouette Just the cutest little shaped card.

And next Lori’s Beehive Box Card. SVG I love to make both styles of these cards. Always my favorite and I get to use lots of embellishments from the collection.

Here’s hoping Spring is on the way and that the bees visit my garden

Valentine Cat Bag and A2 Card Gift Set

February 5, 2026February 5, 2026

Hello Crafty Friends Noelene here today! With Valentine’s Day less than 2 weeks away today I want to share with you an adorable little bag & card gift set I made using one of the newest files from Lori Whitlock called Valentine Bag Cat (SVG), (Silhouette). I also created a matching card using an A2 card Base (SVG), (Silhouette)

To start off I cut out all the panel pieces for the bag. Make sure you cut 2 of each of all the panels that make the cat, (if you are making the card). I did not need to alter the size of the cat in any way as it fit nicely onto the a2 card base. Now start by putting all your pieces together for the cat by following the steps below.

Now it’s time to put the bag together. Glue all your bag panels onto the bag base.

Note the next step I did after glueing the panels, but it may be slightly easier to do before the panels are glued on, as the cardstock will be more flexible. Mountain fold the bottom flaps & valley fold the sides of the bag.

Next glue the side tab of the bag.

Glue the base then set your bag aside for the time being.

Now to create our matching A2 card. Firstly cut out all the panels. You will see that I have an extra rectangle piece of cardstock which is not in the file. I just cut out a rectangle 1.25″ x 4.25″ with the same paper I used on the side of my bag so that it coordinates with my card.

Glue the 2 front panels onto the card base.

Glue the extra rectangle piece onto the far right side of the inside of your card, so that when you close your card it will be visible from behind the pinking pattern.

Lastly to finish off place a cat onto the front of your bag & another onto the card front. I used foam squares to give it dimension. Then add the ribbon to your bag & any other embellishments you wish. Today I have kept it simple & only added a heart stickle.

A2 Easel Card Be My Valentine

January 29, 2026January 29, 2026

Starting to make a few Valentine’s Day Cards, searching my library, and came across this cute easel card. They are quick to make and are always a huge hit with the recipient. You can purchase the A2 Easel Card Be My Valentine files here: (SVG, Silhouette).

First, gather your papers. This is a fun one to use lots of patterned papers.

Below, see all the pieces to cut.

1. Sort and arrange your pieces.

2. Fold you red easel piece into it’s shape.

3. Add the pink base to the bottom of your easel piece.

4. I added just a strip of patterned paper across the pink heart.

5. Then layer all your hearts on top on this piece and adhere it to your card base.

6. Now you need to add a button or brad, something for your easel fold to rest against. There is a little hole right in the file that Lori created, so you know the perfect place to add this. I used a little heart button adhered with a glue dot.
