Gable Box with Bow by Lezlye

Welcome friends! Today I am sharing the adorable little Gable Box with Bow.There are only 5 pieces in this file. Two of them for the bow.

I made this box to fill with candies for my Mom. She has Dementia and a lot of the time is depressed. She loves to have little candies around  so this was the perfect little box for just that. These would make great little party favor boxes too! It was super easy and quick. Especially using Lori’s Papers by Echo Park. This pattern is from the Spring Collection.

The Ephemra is Echo Park Spring Collection too

 

Files I used are:

With the double sided papers even the inside is FUN! Have a great Day!

Guest Designer Mitsyana Wright

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone has had a great start to their weekend! I am Mitsyana Wright, from Up On Tippy Toes, and I am so excited to be guest designer for Lori Whitlock. I’ve always been a big fan of her unique and whimsical designs. And I am over the moon thrilled to be able to share with you this adorable Unicorn Card I made using her Center Box Card Unicorn.

I’m a card maker and obsessed unicorn lover, so this unicorn card was just up my alley! I started by opening the card file in my electronic cutting machine software. Because Lori Whitlock’s files are SVG format I am able to use them in a number of electronic cutting machines.

When I open the file in my software , all the shapes are grouped together like this…

I like to separate my shapes by like colors. Then I can place several different colored papers down on my cutting mat and cut them all at the same time.

Here are all the pieces for the card cut out…

These pieces go together very easily and you simply adhere them to the card base… this is totally cute as is but I like to add personal touch with shading and more dimension.  I like to add shading with a bit of airbrushing. It’s a great alternative to shading with ink pads and sponges.

After my pieces were all airbrushed I started on building the card…  I folded the card base on the score lines, making the center panel recessed.

For added dimension, I added embossing to these background panels, then distressed the top layer of the embossing off with a sanding block. This exposed the white paper core everywhere the embossing was raised.

Because of the added texture of the embossing, I ran my panels through my sticker makers for maximum adhesion to my card base.

Then attached them to the card base.

 I used a glue pen to piece the smaller parts and pieces together.

I folded the little score lines on the unicorn base and attached them into the inside fold of the card. and then attached the hills over top.

I added highlights with a white gel pen onto the unicorns main and tail, as well as the rainbow.

Then place my sentiment onto the lower left corner.

This card turned out fantastic! My only problem would be which one of my unicorn loving friends to give it to!  Hope you all enjoyed this project!!  Have a MAGICAL day!!

Fox Shaped Card with Courtney

Hello everyone! I turned this ADORABLE Fox 2 cut file into a shaped card! The links for the fox are below.

I used the adorable “Little Man” collection by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park Paper for this card. Everything came out of the collection pack including that super cute sentiment that I thought would be darling doubled as a scarf.

This card would be great for Father’s Day, birthdays for boy or man or just because! I hope you enjoyed this card and pick up this cute fox. (psst. another idea: I almost turned this into a girl “you’re foxy” card! Wouldn’t that be cute?!)
