Mothers Day Projects

I would like to share with you a few projects from our Design Team. They are so talented. First up is this “Stationary Set” Lori just created. Krissy took the original file (1 box and 1 card with embellishment) and Echo Park’s “Note to Self” collection then cut the card base 4 times then decorated each card differently. That is exactly what I thought of doing when I saw the set. I am excited to try this for my mom too. This is the card included in the kit with the decorative overlay piece included.

Then she cut the “Damask Flourish” and placed it on the card.

Thanks Krissy, these look beautiful.  If you would like more instructions on how she made these, you can visit her blog here.

Next I have this frame that Lori created out of 1 sheet of paper. I love how this assembles. Joy has used this file in such a fun way.  She used Echo Park’s Hello Summer collection to create the “Square Frame 4.5”

She has great instructions posted on her blog here if you would like to make one too.

I think we have the best design team. They never cease to amaze me and brighten my day with fun paper crafts. Thanks ladies for sharing your talent with us.  Happy Crafting… Lisa

New Shapes

Check out the newest shapes in the shop today! All shapes SVG files. So many options with the Mothers Day set.  You can use those pieces to embellish the stationary box and multiple stationary cards. What an adorable Mother’s Day gift that would be.

Graduation

Happy Monday! I’ve been in Texas this week visiting my parents and my brother’s family. I’ll be home tomorrow. About 3 weeks ago I got sick with some sort of cold virus that has been the nastiest bug I’ve ever had. It’s taken 3 weeks for it to clear up and for me to feel fairly “normal” again. My girls have also been off track. So, needless to say, I’m ready to get back to my exercise and work routine and get the kids back in school.
This has been a fabulous few days in Texas giving me time to relax, spend time with my family, go shopping, eat out, visit and just enjoy life for a few days. I think being sick makes me realize how thankful I am for my blessings and my health. I’m supposed to run the Wasatch Back RAGNAR race in just 6 weeks. I’ve got to get back in shape and ready for that race, too!
Today I have a darling project by Design Team Member, Corri. She’s used my Echo Park “This & That” Collection along with my graduation cap cutting file and my matchbook cutting file. I love how these projects have turned out so masculine and perfect for giving to a graduating boy.
Here’s what Corri has to say:
“I used the Match Book card file along with Lori’s Graduation cap and gift bag.  The matchbook card opens open with a little pocket to hold a gift card or other small treat inside.  I also used some sticers from the paper collection to dress up my gift bag.  Our nephew graduates from high school next month and this will be perfect for his cash and a small little gift.”

Have a lovely day! ~Lori
