Lori Whitlock Amazon Shop

July 25, 2016July 24, 2016

Hi Everyone! I often get questions about the types of adhesives, papers and tools that I use, as well as where to find some of the products I design for Echo Park and Sizzix. I decided to put together an Amazon Shop with links to the items I use most. You can access that store from both my blog as seen here:

And also from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop by clicking on the Papercrafting products link here:

In the shop you will find a number of items. There is a page with some of the adhesives that I use most in my projects

The next link is to a few of the different types of cardstock that I like to use, as well as some of my Echo Park Collections.

I also have links to some of the Silhouette and Cricut products I often use and recommend.

And lastly I link to some of the products I designed for Sizzix.

I hope you find this shop and these products helpful! Thanks for stopping by today!

Have you seen the New Pop Up Box Cards in my SVG Shop and the Silhouette Store? They are fun and interactive cards that come with print and cut sentiments and fold flat to a 5″x 5″ square for mailing. They have been pretty popular. I currently have 7 designs (with more on the way), take a peek…

These are really FUN and so easy to put together. Here is the video tutorial I have created so you can learn how to assemble these new cards and make them right along with me:

Digital Life Cards and Print Elements with the Cricut Explore with Karin

July 13, 2016July 14, 2016

I worked on a series of videos to show you how I am using Lori Whitlock’s digital life cards in my Project Life binder. I combined the videos into the one below and will add another in two weeks showing how far I have progressed in a very short time.

I had started a Project Life binder in 2012 and had it very well organized, but then I never kept it up. Since it is now so much later, I have decided that I won’t organize the binder by date. Instead I will just work through all my images and journalling using digital life cards and make my binder look nice and complete the project.

I downloaded a bunch of Lori’s digital files from Snap Click Supply Co.

I literally have hundreds of files to work with so I need to organize them before I get started. I used Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to do this because it makes it so easy to find what I need. Also, if I want to tag elements for specific topics or themes, Lightroom makes this very easy. The image above shows how the thumbnails look in Lightroom.

The image above shows how I took an element, uploaded it into Design Space, cleaned away the outer white area to have the scalloped edge and inner portions as a print element that I cut out with my Cricut Explore.
