Sympathy Cards

Happy Columbus Day Everyone:

Anita here with a set of sympathy cards that I made for a dear friend who lost her uncle recently and he was a significant person in her life.  I love how elegant these are.  I used Lori’s file called Sympathy Card Thoughts Prayers which you can find here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  The second card is called Sympathy Card Comfort Strength Hope and you can find that one here in Lori’s SVG store and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used one of Lori’s new Echo Park Paper collections called Our Wedding.  The card file comes with an insert that you can put behind the card front but I liked the colors showing through the designs.

 

Lori has cards for every occasion and in these times when you may be choosing to stay closer to home, you can still keep in touch with your family and friends.

Hugs,

Anita

Bella Blvd. Cut File Feature

Hi Everyone!  Today I’m showcasing a fabulous project using Bella Blvd.’s cut files!  This awesome back to school layout was created by Traci Penrod for Bella Blvd.

 

Traci used the Owl and School Time files from the Star Student Collection for her layout.

 

For more details you can see her original post here.   New Bella Blvd SVG files are being added to the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop on a regular basis, so stop by to see all of the fun SVG files HERE!

Have a great day!

Ghost Gift Set with Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a cute gift set for Halloween.  I made the Ghost Center  Step Card (Silhouette, SVG).  You can find a tutorial for this card here.

I used paper from the Echo Park – I Love Halloween Collection that Lori designed.  The card comes with a print and cut sentiment but I used one from the Frames and Tags that match the collection.

I also made this cute coordinating Handle Box (Silhouette, SVG).

I plan to fill this little box with some goodies and mail it off along with the card as a treat for one of my college kids.  They love getting surprises.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Canvas Halloween Projects

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share a few canvas signs I put together this weekend.  Both signs feature paper from one of Lori’s newest collections from Echo Park Paper, I Love Halloween.  This set is loaded with spooky, cute graphics and traditional Halloween colors.  For my signs, I used two Halloween word art files:  Hocus Pocus Broom Co. (SVG, Silhouette) and Apothecary Shoppe (SVG, Silhouette).

I have been wanting to create a canvas project using Lori’s word art files for awhile now, and these Halloween files were the perfect excuse!  For both projects, I used black canvases available at Michaels. The canvases come in a variety of sizes, including the 10×20 and 12×24 sizes I used for my two canvas projects.  Typically, I use white canvases, but for my Halloween projects, I wanted to try using the black.

When I opened the files in Cricut Design Space, the files were a lot smaller than I needed them to be for my canvases, so I resized them to fit my canvases.  For the Apothecary Shoppe canvas, I resized the file to be about 8×16 to fit on the 10×20 canvas.  I used permanent white vinyl for this project.  I added paper from Lori’s I Love Halloween collection and lime green ribbon for a little extra color on the project.

For the Hocus Pocus Broom Co. project, I resized the file to about 11×17.  For this project, I used Iron-On vinyl and my Cricut Heat Press.  Using the iron-on material was much easier than using the vinyl when it came to weeding the project and transferring the word art to the canvas.  However, I had to remove the canvas from the wooden frame in order to apply the word art.  It wasn’t hard to do though, just make sure you have a staple puller and staple gun on hand to put it back together.

For my final touches on the Hocus Pocus Broom Co. canvas, I added striped paper and some orange polka dot ribbon to finish the project off.  I added the paper using Tacky Tape.  In my experience this works really well when adhering items to the canvas.

I really like how the projects turned out, and I am excited about all the new word art Lori has available in the shop this week to create some Christmas canvas projects.

Until next time,

Michelle
