Blender Shaped Shaker Card

Leave a comment
Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today I am sharing my sweet version of the Blender Shaped card (SVG), (Silhouette) from Lori Whitlock.
I wanted to make it into a shaker card. So I created an internal offset for the cutout in the center of the blender jug. Instead of using foam tape I cut about 6 of these pieces & glued them on top of each other to get the thickness & depth for the confetti mix. I did it this way as I thought the sides were too thin to be able to get the foam tape around it.
I wanted to decorate my blender with some fruit, so I added the strawberries from the Lori Whitlock Strawberry Basket with Strawberry (SVG), (Silhouette). I used the lemon & leaf from the Doodlebug Berry Sweet Strawberry Lemonade file (SVG).
Lastly I created the tag using one of the banners from the Lori Whitlock Banner Set 3 (SVG) (Silhouette).

Strawberry Fields Matchbook Mini Album

Leave a comment
Just stopping by to share a little strawberry mini with you.  This little book was created with Lori’s Echo Park Strawberry Fields collection and an SVG file that goes way back…..Matchbook Card, (Silhouette Store).  It is just meant to be a card with a little pocket that holds another little card.  But I just kept adding pieces from the Strawberry Fields collection, and it became a mini album.

 

It is loaded with pages.

You can see here how full it is!
And a view with it open!
First you need to open the file and resize it.  It is 12.847 by 13.657.  This gives the matchbook cover a good size to create and fill with papers.
1.  You can see the pieces I cut.
2.  Assemble and adhere your papers.
3.  Your little pocket for the inside is peak and valley folded and adhered with scor tape.
4.  Add the pocket to the inside of your match book.
5.  You can see how everything is lined up here.
6.  Thread the holes to bind the matchbook and pocket together.
Next is where you can make it your own.  I create 6 little pages that include the pocket and mini card.
I just chose pieces from the collection, cut them to fit my idea, then scored them all at 1 inch from the bottom.  This one-inch base is adhered to the bottom of the pocket, and then do another and another…til you have your book filled.
I just used scor-tape on all.
Here you can see how I just started layering them in.  That one-inch score line gives them the ease of movement as you flip through the book
Thank you for stopping by today!

Pop Up Dog House Card

Leave a comment

 

I love how easy it is to personalize Lori’s files. I added my dog’s name to the bone and changed the sentiment as well. I also embossed the front piece of the dog house for a bit of added texture. 

 I have a sweet old doggie named Butters (obviously). I went on a mini vacation and my son traveled to my home to stay with her while we were gone. I made this as a thank you card-or as we say in our family FANKS! That’s how my sweet grandson used to say Thanks when he was little and its the lingo that stuck with all the family LOL! I added a pic of my Miss Butters inside to finish off my card! Note: (My black paper was fairly thin so I cut two pieces and glued together because I wanted that piece to be sturdier.)

Box Card Envelope Strawberries

Leave a comment

Happy Monday!! It’s almost strawberry picking time so what a better way to celebrate that then with a strawberry card?! I made the Box Card Envelope Strawberries card found HERE.

I used paper designed by Lori Whitlock and Echo Park called Strawberry Fields found HERE.

I used the swiss dots embossing folder on my berries and some enamel dots on some of the flowers.

I also used a tag from the Strawberry Fields Frames and Tags found HERE for my sentiment/greeting.

Hope you enjoyed this card and happy strawberry harvest!

Hello Sunshine!

Happy Monday!

Sometimes the sweetest gifts are the simplest ones.  This cheerful little box of sunshine (SVG, Silhouette) is filled with bright yellow treats, refreshing drink mixes and a few happy extras to remind someone they are loved.  Whether you are celebrating a birthday, cheering up a friend, thanking a teacher or simply sending a little encouragement, this project is a fun way to spread a little sunshine.

The adorable smiling sun and sunny rays make this gift impossible not to smile at!  I used Lori’s Our Groovy Summer and with all the coordinating embellishments and it was perfect for all the finishing touches.  Fill it with all things yellow and surprise someone special.

Life is always a little brighter when you share a little sunshine!
