Changing up Sentiments

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today and I wanted to share a little tip with you on changing the sentiments on your Lori Whitlock SVGs that have special print and cut messages. The original message may say Happy Mother’s Day but you can change them to fit any occasion you need such as birthday, Thank You, I miss you, or Congrats!

For the card itself, I used the A2 Box Card Mother’s Day Flowers file (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette).

I used the Joyful In Hope sentiment (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette)  for one of my box cards and

the sentiment from the Double Slider Card Birthday Balloons (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette).

It’s very simple to do. Just open up your file, ungroup the message from its background box, and delete the original message.

1. Duplicate the background box found in the file you intent to use. Import the sentiments you want to use.
2. Ungroup the new message and delete its background box.
3. Move the new message over to the other background box and resize it to fit.
4. Now you have your boxes ready. All you need to do now is print and cut, and then adhere to your project.
Hope everyone is staying happy, healthy and crafty! Thanks for stopping by today!

Graduation Cards

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day!  With two Seniors graduating in a couple of weeks, I know I’m going to need a bunch of graduation cards.  I made Lori’s A2 Insert Graduation Card (Silhouette, SVG).  I love this card!  You can put it together in seconds and it looks awesome!  You can fit two a page and quickly assemble 10 cards.    For my second card, I cut Lori’s Gatefold Flip Card (Silhouette, SVG) and added this phrase (Silhouette, SVG).  I made the phrase into a print and cut and it turned out awesome!   Lori has several other phrases that would work great on this as well.

I hope these give you some ideas for Graduation season.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mother’s Day Explosion Box Teacup Tutorial

 

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a tutorial for Lori’s Explosion Box Teacup for Mother’s Day.  You can find this file here in Lori’s SVG shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used Lori’s new Echo Park collection called All Girl.  This card makes such a stunning statement and Lori has several other explosion box designs as well.

I made extra flowers and used two to put on top of my box.

Here is a photo of the box when it has exploded open.  It’s just so pretty.

Here are the pieces that I cut out.  I ended up cutting out extra flowers and cut two more extra square panels, one I put under the tea cup and one in the box lid.

I put the inside of the box together and the cover as well.  I would recommend that if you are planning to put gift cards in the pockets that you put the card in and then put the pocket where you need it to be so that it will close nicely.  I popped  up the hearts and the messages for Mom.

These are the pieces for the saucer for the teacup.

These are the pieces for the teacup itself.

These are the handle pieces for the teacup.

Starting at the top left I took photos of the process of putting together the teacup.  There is a tab on one end of the cup piece and you glue just up to the tab.  I used wet glue for the best hold.  I then took the smaller perforated circle and glued it inside the bottom of the teacup.  Next, I glued on the handle to the teacup.  Bending both tabs and using wet glue again for the best hold.  Similarly there is a tab on one end of the saucer which you need to glue together.  Then I attached the larger perforated circle to the bottom of the saucer.   Once everything was good and dry I glued the teacup to the center of the saucer.

I then set about to rolling my flowers.  I just love doing this and had fun.  There are so many different ways to roll the flowers.  I have photos where I started rolling one flower with a skewer to get it going in a round shape and another one where I used a flower roller which I bought a long time ago.  My fellow Creative Team member, Corri Garza has a tutorial and how she rolls her flowers that is on Lori’s Blog and can be found here.  I used leftover Easter grass to fill my cup so that the flowers would stay in. You could also add a small styrofoam ball in the bottom and attach the flowers to it.   Thank you so much for looking and have a great day. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers out there and very special wishes to a certain mom to be.

Hugs,

Anita
