I created a set of back to school notes to have handy for placing in my dear daughter’s lunch box this year!  Lori Whitlock has a fantastic array of Back to School themed silhouette files to work with.  I used the 3 x 4 Organization Box3 x 4 Life CardsSchool, and Symbol Journaling & Embellishments.

Here are the notes, one by one!

Another thought I had about these sweet little lunch box notes is that my daughter can add them to her scrapbook album, too!  She loves to document her memories and these will make it easy and special!

Cards with Mendi

Hello there!  It’s Mendi here and today I have a set of cards to share that I created using Lori’s super cute new Fine and Dandy collection by Echo Park.
This collection has a darling line of stamps and dies to compliment the papers and I couldn’t resist playing with them for today’s share.  All my cards today were also created using only the 6×6 pad.
For my first card I cut my cupcake wrapper from the solid blue and then hand cut a second one from that same blue to line the back side.  To make it stand out against the die-cut version, I took my chalk ink and swiped it across it.  I had some leftover flower centers so I decided to use them as sprinkles–With a little glossy accents they became homemade enamel dots!
For my next card I used on of Lori’s 8.5×11 Backgrounds as my card mat.  I stamped the sentiment and 4 butterflies using the Happy Little Moments Stamps and then stamped them a second time onto scratch paper.  I fussy cut the ones on scratch paper and layered them over the others with foam tape.  I love the subtle detail that adds in person.  To tie my colors together, I layered coordinating strips of patterned paper from the collection.
Up next I mixed both the flower die sets for a simple border on a colorful notecard.
My last card is my personal favorite.  I used the Jar Die, cutting the lid from silver metallic cardstock and hand cut a “fabric” cover from gingham paper.  I finished it off with a little baker’s twine and some glossy accents on the heart.  For my card I cut one of  Lori’s A2 card bases on my Silhouette which just happened to be a perfect match for the curved sentiment stamp from that same stamp set.
To complete my cards I used the following SVG cutting files from Lori’s Shop:
I also used the following new Fine & Dandy products by Echo Park:
Isn’t this an irresistible collection Lori has designed?!  I had so much fun and I hope I’ve inspired you to pull out some paper and play along this summer.  🙂

Baby Gift Set with Lorrie

Hello everyone!  I’ve got a fun baby gift set for you today.

I started with Lori Whitlock’s A2 Baby Chalkboard Card .  To make the chalkboard look a little more “chalky”, I simply used a paper towel which I dabbed into my white ink pad and lightly went over the sentiment area.  I used Versamark and white embossing powder for the sentiment which is from a Papertrey Ink stamp set.
I added just a bit of twine to string the embellishments across the top of the chalkboard.  Two simple brads filled in as “screws” holding the chalkboard in place.  I used this as a card, so I didn’t add string from the back and front bottom holes, but the holes are provided and it would make a super cute baby shower decor piece as well.
This box was super easy to assemble.  I used Lori’s Wavy Lid Box.  I simply added a big bow, a brown button and a Sweet Baby Sentiment from Imaginisce.
Lori’s SVGs and Silhouette files make it super easy to add a special touch to all your gift/party needs.
Thanks for stopping by!
Lorrie
