Monogramed Home Decor with Traci

Hi everyone, it’s Traci from Artsy Albums, and I’m back to share an easy home decor project with you.  This monogramed piece would make a wonderful gift for a wedding, shower, new baby, or new home!

I framed mine on paper from Carta Bella’s Yesterday collection, designed by Lori.  I added some Prima flowers and stickers from the collection to add some extra pops of color.

I’ve seen monograms like this cut from vinyl and placed in clear “floating” frames, cut from fabric and embroidered onto pillows, or incorporated into invitations and party decor.  You could include a wedding couple’s names in the center as I did, or use a last name, an address, or a new baby’s name. Lori gives you four designs for each letter so you have lots of possibilities for this wonderful set of monograms!

The Mega Monogram Set is located in the SVG Shop HERE. Each letter is available individually in the Silhouette Design Store HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!

Using Your 6×6 Paper Pad Scraps – Tutorial with Tya

Hi everyone! It’s Tya here to share with you a fun tutorial today. I adore, like really adore 6×6 paper pads. They are the perfect size for card making, but inevitably I am always stuck with oodles of little scraps after I am done with my projects, so today, I wanted to share with you a quick and easy tutorial on how to use up those scraps.

 

 

First-  I gathered up my supplies to make my card. I am using the 6×6 paper pad from the Jill collection that Lori designed for Echo Park. I am also using the decorative brads, chipboard stickers and element stickers.

I also used a sheet of kraft cardstock.

Next I opened up the Silhouette. I like to used the grid function when I am dealing with scraps. The Grid is on the far right side of the toolbar. To make it true to size, I do 1 inch spacing and 1 divisions – this basically makes (12)  1 inch squares along the top and sides so it is just like the Silhouette mat.

Now, I find my card shapes and lay them out on the workspace. I try and utilize the mat and lay my shapes out evenly so they will be easy to cut out.  I used the Card 1 shape (Lori Whitlock Shop) or a2 Flower Card (Silhouette Store).

 

Now this next step, it’s just what I do when I cut scraps, I am sure there is an easier way, but this is what I like to do because it is pretty fool proof. So I take a scrap piece of paper and cut out all my shapes. I like to do either white or kraft because I save these and can use them on another card. So I lay out all my shapes and cut them out.

 

Here is where those pesky cut marks, like the one below, that we get on our mats come in handy. I take my real papers and basically lay them over the cut marks that were previously made.

Now the shapes are all cut out and we were able to use up some of those little scraps- AND we only had to make ONE cut! This is such a time saver! No having to guess or measure exactly where the papers are, just lay them over the cut marks and you are set!

 Here is the finished card –

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope I have inspired you to pull out all those scraps and have fun creating beautiful cards! Have a great day!

Here Comes the Bride with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with some adorable wedding favors from Lori’s Shop!  A very close friend just shared that she’s engaged, and I couldn’t be happier!  I decided to make her a little something to celebrate the happy news, and Lori’s Wedding Favor Boxes were perfect!  (in the Silhouette Store:  Groom, Bride ) Take a peek…

These boxes are so simple to put together, and they each hold a few chocolate kisses or other similar sized candies.   You can keep them simple or add lots of embellishments to fit your style.  I added some shaped sequins for flowers, and some colored pearls to match my ribbon.  You could use these for a bridal shower, as wedding favors or just as a little “I’m so happy for you” gift!  Well, that’s it for me today, thanks so much for stopping by!
