Off the Page January Challenge

Hi Everyone, it’s Kathy today, and I have a new feature for you!  This year we will be teaming up with the folks at Paper Issues for their  Off the Page Challenge !   An Off the Page project is simply a paper crafting project that is not a traditional scrapbook page.  Each month I will be using files from Lori’s SVG shop,  for my Off the Page projects, and we would love for you to play along too!  For January’s Challenge I thought it would be fun to start off the year with a calendar/new/time theme.  Did you create a calendar for friends, or relatives?  Did you get a new planner? How about showing off your planner spreads?  How about anything related to new babies?  Birth Announcements, room décor, shower favors… New Starts… weddings, weight loss trackers..did you make any resolutions?  How about a resolution tracker?    Maybe a monthly mini album to hold your favorite Instagram pics?  Anything to do with clocks would be great too!  Of course we want you to use Lori Whitlock files for these projects!
 My project is a cute little desktop calendar.  I started with Lori’s 2016 Print and Cut Calendar, her Accordion Square Mini Album and her easel.  I then set out to decorate each month…
The Accordion Album has six pages per side, so it was perfect for the 12 months of the year… here is the first half…
 
 and the second half of the year!  Here are some close-ups of each month…
  
January used Lori’s Snowman Set, February has the Valentine’s Mason Jars file.
 
 March has the Shamrock File and April’s bunny is from the Easter Icons Set.
 
May’s flowers are from the 12 Fancy Flowers files and the cute little owl is Lori’s Graduation Owl.
 
July’s fireworks are from the Patriotic Box Card and the sand castle is from the Beach Set.
How cute is that little book worm??  He is from the School Apple file and the little ghost is from the Layered Halloween Embellishments set.
Last, but not least, the little turkey is Lori’s Turkey 2 File and Santa is from the Santa Claus Gift Box file.
This was definitely a lot of work, but I’m so happy it turned out like I pictured in my head!! (that doesn’t always happen….)  To play along, add your project to the comment section of this challenge photo in the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook Group,  January Challenges Album.  You have until February 6th to play along.  You could win one of 2 Gift Certificates to the Paper Issues Store!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Lovebug Box with Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing my take on Lori’s ladybug slip lid box.

To turn my ladybug into a “love”bug,  I  used the “release compound path” feature to remove the polka dots and replace them with hearts.

This little box would be great for classroom Valentine’s Day treats.  It’s  adorable on it’s own so I added just a couple of embellishments.  I cut a pieces of glitter cardstock to fit behind my hearts for a little sparkle and added a sticker from the Doodlebug – Sweet Things Collection and a twine bow.

Head over to the Lori’s SVG Shop to find more adorable treat bags and cards for Valentine’s Day.

A Birthday Pop Up Card

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!  Cathy here with you today and have a Birthday Pop Up card to share using Lori’s new Echo Park Little Man Collection.  Bright colors, fun patterns  and full of all kinds of fun for your little man.  I created this card for my grandson’s 5th birthday!  I will be scrapping his party pics with this collection, too.

There are lots of different pop up cards in Lori’s Shop.  I chose the A2 Birthday Pop Dot card, these cards are so easy to make.  Lori has all of the files color coded, so just follow along and then just add pop dots.  They really go together in just a matter of minutes, have amazing dimension and are a delight for the recipient.  After I had it all layered together I added some fun stickers from the Little Man collection and a bit of twine.  Make sure to stop by Lori’s shop to check out all the Pop Dot cards and all of the new fun files added this week.

Pop Up Birthday Card with Kathy

Hi Everyone, and Happy New Year!!  It’s Kathy today with one of Lori’s fun Pop Up Cards.  Around here, there are a lot of birthdays early in the year, so I thought I should get ahead and make some cards!! (instead of running to the store last-minute to buy a card….I’ll admit, it has happened a few times…)

I used Lori’s Pop Up Birthday Card file (here in the Silhouette Store) and some papers from her new Echo Park Collection, Little Man.  The colors are so bright and cheery, they were perfect for a Birthday card… take a peek…

I changed the file slightly by deleting the stars in the background.  I thought it would be fun to use her star paper in their place.  A hint when making this card… the folds can be daunting, but it’s easier if you start at the bottom.  You know that all of those folds go the same direction.  Fold all of the first folds the way they are supposed to go, then work your way through the rest of the folds… every other fold goes the same direction.  The best thing about this card, besides how cute it is, is that it folds nicely and fits into an A2 Envelope!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
