“Hoppy” Valentines Day with Tya

Hi everyone – Tya here with you sharing a fun Valentines Day gift set featuring a couple of new cut files from Lori. Lori has the knack for creating the cutest little critters and when I saw these cute frogs I “jumped” at the chance to create this fun set. I made the Frog Lip Balm Holder and the Frog Treat box.

First up is the Frog Treat Box. I used a basic dot paper in a few different shades for the box. I added some black enamel dot eyes and topped the treat bag filled with what else- gummy frogs- with a print and cut “Hoppy” Valentines Day sentiment using the LW Dandy Font and a ticket shaped tag in the 5 Layered Shapes file.

Next up is a fun lip balm holder with the same papers and accents- the red EOS holder was the perfect touch.

Make sure to stop by Lori’s shop and check out all the new Valentines Day critters – http://www.shop.loriwhitlock.com/ – they are so cute and a nice little surprise for your Valentine! Thanks for stopping by!

Cricut All Occasion Box Card Cartridge

I have some good news for all the Cricut crafters out there!! I have just launched a brand NEW All Occasion Box Card Cartridge with Cricut!  I’m so thrilled that Cricut invited me to create this cartridge and I hope you all enjoy it. The All Occasion Box Card Cartridge is aptly named—there’s one for every occasion.  Here are a few of the fun cards on this cartridge:

The cartridge is full of everything you need to make some fabulous cards.  It contains 30 box card designs and coordinating envelopes.  The cards are ideal for birthdays, seasons, graduation, weddings and everything in between!  The cartridge is good for use with all Cricut® electronic cutting machines.   And, did I mention the cartridge is on SALE for $19.99 for a limited time? Go get it HERE for this price while you can!

Here’s a video showing assembly instructions:


Currently the cards are coming into Design Space smaller than original size. Cricut is working on a fix for this. In the meantime, please refer to the key below. This shows the height that each card needs to be scaled to in order for them to turn out as an A2 sized card.

Have a great day!

If you’re a Silhouette crafter, you can find plenty of box card designs in my Silhouette store here.

If you’re looking for SVG files you can find them here.

Have a great day and HAPPY CRAFTING!!!

XOXO Scalloped Rosette Banner with Kathy

Hi Everyone, it’s Kathy today with a tutorial on how to piece together Lori’s new XOXO Scalloped Rosette Banner.  I loved this banner the moment I saw it and wanted to create it for my front door!

I started by cutting 4 of each of the banner back pieces, and one set of X’s and O’s.

I like to add a little dimension to my projects so I adhered the two background triangles together using some foam tape.

Next, I started making the rosettes.  Rosettes are not hard, they just take a little patience.  I fan-folded the rosette strips using the score lines as my guide.

I then attached the two ends of each strip using some liquid adhesive.  I use a quick drying adhesive when making rosettes, it gives you a little wiggle room if you make a mistake (unlike hot glue) and it holds well without taking forever to dry.

To make the rosette, add some liquid adhesive to one of the small circles.  Place the glued, fan-folded strip over the circle (make sure the scalloped edges are on the bottom) and press the top of the glued, fan folded strip towards the center and down.

You may need to play with it a little to get it to be the shape you want.  This is where the patience comes in… you need to hold it down for a little until the glue is dry enough to hold.

Once it is dry enough, put the larger circle on the front of the rosette, let dry.

All that is left is to assemble each of your banner pieces.  I glued the completed rosettes onto the banner pieces, and then added the XOXO letters to each piece using foam tape for more dimension.

I tied my pieces together using some Chunky twine and it’s all ready to go on my door!

That’s it for me today.  Don’t forget that Lori is  having a sale in her SVG shop this week!  Use code JAN2016 and get 30% off your entire order! It’s perfect timing to stock up on Valentine’s Day goodies!

 

Have a great day!
