Love Banner

January 9, 2012January 9, 2012

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! It’s been super busy here at my studio getting ready for CHA and creating all sorts of new Silhouette/SVG shapes. Today I have the CUTEST “Love” banner created by DT member Miss Carolyn King to share with you. Now that all the Christmas decorations are down it’s time to think about Valentine’s. So, hopefully Carolyn’s banner will help you all get inspired with some Valentine’s ideas. I love that Carolyn used my Echo Park “For the Record” collection! Here’s what Carolyn has to say:

“I painted a thin piece of wood with black paint and got to work creating this:I used several of Lori’s silhouette files to help in my design: Love Banner, 9 Hearts, Bird on Branch. I used the banner to spell out the word and then used the fun hearts to suspend down from the banner using jump rings. The hearts just dangle :)”

Boxes

January 4, 2012January 8, 2012

I’ve added several new boxes to my Silhouette Online Store and to my online shop. And, the best part… there are some tutorials to go along with those boxes that you can find HERE. Many customers have requested assembly instructions for my more complicated projects. I’m so excited to be offering those to you in the form of YouTube videos. You can go subscribe to my channel so you’ll be notified when new tutorials become available. Keep in mind that the videos are a work in progress and I hope to make them even more professional as I learn more about the process. So, please bare with me as I learn. You’re all the BEST!! Have a great day!

Stocking Stuffers?

December 23, 2011December 23, 2011

Are you ready for Christmas? If you’re looking for a cute little “stocking stuffer or last minute “packing idea” Joy has a fabulous idea for you. I really meant to post this earlier… but I figure it’s better late than never, right? Here’s what Joy has to say:

“I used the Bracket Closure Box file to create a stacked box display. It’s ready for gift giving or just as a cute holiday decoration! All paper is from Echo Park’s Seasons Greetings pack and the chipboard ornaments, snowflake and button are also by Echo Park. After cutting the boxes using my Silhouette Cameo, I just added a bit of glue to the sides, folded and the box was assembled! You’re going to love how easy they are to put together! I tied two of the boxes using bakers twine. The third box is secured with a glue dot. The adorable Santa was printed from my printer and cut with my Silhouette. Santa comes from Lori’s Christmas Set #2. These boxes are perfect for holding small gifts, candy or even a letter to Santa!”

We all know that presentation makes such a difference in our gift giving. With the Silhouette Cameo or whatever machine you may have, it’s really easy to create a box to make your gift look amazing. Joy created the cutest bracket window boxes and filled them with awesome treats/gifts that would make perfect little stocking stuffers, too.

Thanks JOY for sharing these cute ideas with us!

Have fun wrapping up your holiday gift giving this year. And most of all have a very Merry Christmas, EVERYONE!!

More Christmas Goodies

December 14, 2011December 16, 2011

I designed a few more Christmas goodies for all you crafters out there that are looking to make something quick and easy this holiday season.

The first thing I’ll show you is a sweet little gingerbread house treat box tote (wow that’s a mouth full!). I created this little tote thinking it’d be cute to deliver a few treats to a neighbor. Wouldn’t it be cute with a little tag attached saying “Merry Christmas from Our House to Yours!” I thought it’d be cute for my little girl to take these around to her friends filled with M&M’s, some lipgloss, or hand lotion. And, the best part… I’ve created a video tutorial for you right HERE. It sounds like those are helpful so I’ll try to keep making them for new shapes that are more complicated. You’ll find this cute tote at the Silhouette Online Store and the SVG/DXF files right HERE.

Oh, and if you really want to be nice, you could attach a gift card to the house tote using these darling little gift card holders…

Today I created another set of gift card holders that are a “pull-out” style. They’re so cute and would make a great stocking stuffer!! They would be easy to slip in an envelope and mail or attach to a package. They are assembled similarly to the sliding gift card holders (there’s a video Part 1 & Part 2 for those), but these simply pull out. You’ll find them in the Silhoutte Online Store for all the Silhouette owners out there. And for everyone that needs SVG and DXF files you can find these files right HERE, HERE and HERE in my online store. Check them out…

I hope you enjoy making these new items for the holidays : )
Have a great day!

Sliding Gift Card Holders

December 12, 2011December 13, 2011

I just released a really FUN concept at the Silhouette Online Store today! I’m SO excited to share this with you. I created a series of sliding gift card holders. I LOVE these little cuties!! They are just so darn fun to open and close!! And, for the FIRST time ever… I’ve attempted to create an instructional video for assembly. Please don’t laugh! If it works out… I’ll do more of these videos for new shapes that are more complicated to assemble. The link to the video is at the bottom of the post. If you’d like to purchase the .svg files you can find them HERE, HERE, and HERE in my shop. All of the samples feature Echo Park paper!
