Fun with Patterned Paper

Hi everyone!  I have some cards to share with you today.  They all were created using Lori’s Echo Park Our Happy Place.  I used the 6×6 paper pad to create these, enamel dots and stickers from the sticker book. I just want to show what a different look you get to these cards when you use patterned papers instead of plain colored card stock.  It makes even the cutesiest of cards have a whole different look.  Some what of softer and bit more sophisticated  look.  I love how these all turned out, this collection has the softest colors and darling little patterns. I am all set for my Easter cards with these being finished now.  

I will have a list at the bottom, in order, of the files I used for these.

“Just Chicken In” box card tutorial

Happy Thursday my crafty friends. When I saw this cute little chicken card, the A2 Shaped Box Card Chicken, (SVG) it reminded me of soup, and since everyone around me is currently sick with some cootie or another I thought this would be the perfect little project.

First cut all your pieces. As always I have my Cricut write my words on the tag.

Fold your pieces on the score lines

Add your adhesive to these pieces

Glue your beak, wattles and comb to the chicken insert. Don’t put the eye on yet.

I added the insert piece into the box. I put it as close to the front as possiable as I wanted to use it as a box with goodies too.

Once my box was assembled, I added adhesive around  the square part on both the front and back, 1 side as a time.

I put the bowl shaped pieces on the fron and the back.

This is where you will attach the eye. Top left corner of the bowl piece.

I used pop dots to pop the wing (heart) piece on both back and front. Embelished with a little bakers twint on the tag.

I added a soup packet and kleenex as well as some tylonal and cough drops. I did place a piece of packing tape along the bottom to keep my goodies from falling out.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Happy Birthday Cards! Tutorial

Hello!  Sue here to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day!
 
For my tutorial today I am making several easy print and cut birthday cards from Lori’s fun birthday card bundles. I want to make them all! 
 

 

This really is a fun card!!!
Here you can see the front pieced element. I chose to cut an additional bottom layer to the packages in pink to make the  presents pop more and give it a bit more reinforcement so I could add it to the front with an action wobbler .  I used  the Lori Whitlock’s  Life is Beautiful 6×6 paper pad.
The inside piece is a print and cut. Fold it in half with the sentiment inside
This part is a bit tricky. Its a mountain/valley  sort of thing LOL! What I did to make it real easy is to fold the center back the other way and then from the back pinch each section to crease them. 
Here you can see how the insert looks when folded and ready to add to the card.
 
Glue one side of the insert inside, making sure you align those 5 small folds right at the cardbase fold line. Add glue to the second side and close the card onto the glued insert.
All glued and ready to go!
Both cards are part of the Fabulous Birthday Card Bundle.
 
You can see all the bundles on Lori’s site.

This was a fun one!
I used Lori Whitlock A Slice of Summer papers for the balloons.
I have made several of these cuties. I cut on six/seven different 6×6 papers and cut ALL the balloons out of each color. Then I’m just playing mixy match for each cards.
Glue the balloons on the back of the print and cut and then flip and glue to the card base. It is very pretty to see in person, it has a nice dimension to it!

For the first layout I used this Shaped Bee Card in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette store,  and I just used the top layer to create this little guy and I used 11 Hearts in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Store, for all the little hearts scattered and stitched on the layout.
