Happy Birthday! 5×7 Happy Birthday Card

Welcome to our Thursday tutorial post!

5×7 Happy Birthday Card (SVG, Silhouette)
 
This card is also included in Lori’s Birthday Bash Bundle.

 

This wonderful card caught my attention the very first time I saw it! I loved the colors and thought the design was outstanding!  

I cut out this design, leaving the tiny cut out pieces on my sticky mat. I couldn’t just throw away all the fun cut out pieces so I made a second card out of the “scraps”. All I had to do was cut double  balloons and added a few extra leaves and flowers and cut two white card bases. I always cut multiples of little pieces anyway-I somehow manage to drop a few! It was tedious with all those little pieces, but I was sitting watching my latest Netflix obsession so I was doing double duty!

This is the back side of the card top . Most of the colors are glued onto the backside.
You have to set the top piece on top of the center piece to see the placement of the center of the letters.
All three layers are ready to glue together and the card is complete!
Here is the 2nd card I made with the left over bits and pieces.
 
Here is the sentiment that I saved with the accent paper pieces glued on. I set them aside for card #2. You have to make the white card first because you need the top piece for placing each letter.
I saved all the little do-dahs and glued them on to the white card base, using the dark piece as the guide for placement.  I added all the dots and balloons, flowers etc with my pick-me-up tool as well as my paper piercer and little mat scraper. I love getting double duty from one cut file! 

I hope you enjoyed these cute cards.

A2 Easter Basket Card

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.

Thanks for stopping by!

Floating Easel Card Sunflower Tutorial

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!

5×5 Mini Album in a Box

Hi ladies! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a super cute mini album with a video tutorial. I’ll walk you through how I made this scrapbook using one of Lori’s amazing cutting files. It’s a fun project that’s perfect for photos of spring, family, friends, St. Patrick’s Day, and fun every day memories!

 

Since my Lori Whitlock and Doodlebug Design Team Projects fell on the same day, I combined their products to create this happy and colorful keepsake. I used Lori’s 5×5 Album with Box File (SVG, Silhouette) and Doodlebug’s cute Lucky Me Collection.

 

The cut file makes a box and a mini album that fits perfectly inside. I cut the base out of white cardstock, then decorated it with lots of 12×12 pattern papers and fun embellishments.

 


I made this with a spring theme but you could use ANY collection and create it for Easter, Mother’s Day, a birthday, summer, etc. What a great gift idea, and … it comes with it’s own box, lol!

 


The album is a perfect size. At 5×5 inches, it’s not too big, not too small … but just right for pictures of a fun event, family, friends, or baby pics. I’m thinking cute mom / grandma’s brag book!

 


Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided). I covered them in bright and cheerful 12×12 pattern papers, then added lots of cute die cuts, colorful enamel dots, and photo mats. 

Here are a few more pages …

I hope you like this fun mini album and it inspires you to create one too with Lori’s 5×5 Album with Box File (SVG, Silhouette). Have a great day and happy scrapping! 😊

Buzzing with Kindness

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
