Box Card with Christine + Silhouette Promo + Daily Freebie + Paper Issues Giveaway

Happy St. Patricks Day. We have so much to share with you today. First up is Christine with this adorable project.

Today I am showing you this adorable new card from Lori Whitlock.  Yes, it is a card, or rather a box, well actually, it’s a box card.  Super cute, either way you look at it!!  Lori is so clever at creating 3D objects that are special and do different things.  This standalone box card can be folded down to fit into a regular A2 envelope.

There are a bunch of different ones in the store.  You’ll just have to check them all out and the way that they are designed, the parts can be mixed and matched.  Very cool, I think!
At first, I was a little confused on how to put it together, but a quick trip to Lori’s channel on YouTube, and I was all set for assembly. Be sure to subscribe to her channel.  Most everything that needs assembly, has a video that she made to show you how it’s done.
This is the Box Card Flower Pot and I have paired it with this cute envelope from the Card Base & Envelope Set 2.  I cut the envelope from plain cardstock and then altered the envelope with my knife so that I could cut out the flaps in different paper.

The paper and brads I used were from Lori’s newest collection, Summer Bliss.  I just loved using the brads for the center of the flowers.

So, I hope you will give these boxes a try and Wow your friends with these stylish new kinds of cards.

Supplies used:
Summer Bliss Collection by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park

Silhouette Tutorial with Mendi: Thickening Delicate Pieces

It’s Mendi here and I’m so excited to be sharing a simple little Silhouette tip with you today.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve found when I’m shrinking cutting files down in size there are many times when the shapes become too thin to cut from cardstock without shredding the design.  To get around this I have found some easy tricks for thickening my fonts and shapes.  This is also a super handy trick for creating a “bold” font when that option is not available in the Silhouette software.  😉
 
To illustrate my tutorial I created this little Birdie Birthday card using several thin shapes and fonts (along with the adorable Echo Park Hello Summer collection) designed by Lori Whitlock.
I have created a video tutorial below sharing how you too can solve this common Silhouette cutting dilemma.
To create my card I used the following shapes available in Lori Whitlock’s shop:
I hope if you’re not already using this trick, you’ll give it a try!  🙂
