Floating Easel Card Sunflower Tutorial

Happy Thursday everyone! Today I am bringing you a tutorial for this fun floating easel card with a sunflower. (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette)

As always, cut all your pieces and have your supplies ready. You will need fishing line for this card.

I folded my 2 pieces on the score marks.

Then added the patterned paper to the base.

I assembled my sentiment and added dimentionals before centering it onto the base.

Assemble your flowers by offsetting the 2 colors of the flower. I also embossed my centers for a little extra texture. You will need to attach the backs of your 2 flowers with your fishing line between the 2 flowers (my fishing line is yellow for you to see better).

Add your circle piece of patterned paper on top followed by your 1st circle border. Attach your fishing line to the top of the circle border left to right. Trim your fishing line so it does not go past the circle border. Add the 2nd circle border over top of the 1st.

When the card is done, the flower will be hanging within the circle.

And when the easel is in place, it is a cute little floating sunflower.

It even swings like the video below.

I’d love to see if you make one of these fun cards. Until then, thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

5×5 Mini Album in a Box

Hi ladies! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a super cute mini album with a video tutorial. I’ll walk you through how I made this scrapbook using one of Lori’s amazing cutting files. It’s a fun project that’s perfect for photos of spring, family, friends, St. Patrick’s Day, and fun every day memories!

 

Since my Lori Whitlock and Doodlebug Design Team Projects fell on the same day, I combined their products to create this happy and colorful keepsake. I used Lori’s 5×5 Album with Box File (SVG, Silhouette) and Doodlebug’s cute Lucky Me Collection.

 

The cut file makes a box and a mini album that fits perfectly inside. I cut the base out of white cardstock, then decorated it with lots of 12×12 pattern papers and fun embellishments.

 


I made this with a spring theme but you could use ANY collection and create it for Easter, Mother’s Day, a birthday, summer, etc. What a great gift idea, and … it comes with it’s own box, lol!

 


The album is a perfect size. At 5×5 inches, it’s not too big, not too small … but just right for pictures of a fun event, family, friends, or baby pics. I’m thinking cute mom / grandma’s brag book!

 


Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided). I covered them in bright and cheerful 12×12 pattern papers, then added lots of cute die cuts, colorful enamel dots, and photo mats. 

Here are a few more pages …

I hope you like this fun mini album and it inspires you to create one too with Lori’s 5×5 Album with Box File (SVG, Silhouette). Have a great day and happy scrapping! 😊

Buzzing with Kindness

Spring seems to be just around the corner…I am sure there is more winter to come here in South Dakota…but I am remaining hopeful.  And with Spring just around the corner, it’s time to think about gardening and bees.  So I broke out Lori’s Bee Happy collection.  This is such a fun collection, and it’s perfect for Spring and Summer.

First, I used Lori’s A2 Honey Card.  Silhouette Just the cutest little shaped card.

And next Lori’s Beehive Box Card.  SVG I love to make both styles of these cards.  Always my favorite and I get to use lots of embellishments from the collection.
Here’s hoping Spring is on the way and that the bees visit my garden

Valentine Cat Bag and A2 Card Gift Set

Hello Crafty Friends Noelene here today! With Valentine’s Day less than 2 weeks away today I want to share with you an adorable little bag & card gift set I made using one of the newest files from Lori Whitlock called Valentine Bag Cat (SVG), (Silhouette). I also created a matching card using an A2 card Base (SVG), (Silhouette)
To start off I cut out all the panel pieces for the bag. Make sure you cut 2 of each of all the panels that make the cat, (if you are making the card). I did not need to alter the size of the cat in any way as it fit nicely onto the a2 card base. Now start by putting all your pieces together for the cat by following the steps below.
Now it’s time to put the bag together. Glue all your bag panels onto the bag base.
Note the next step I did after glueing the panels, but it may be slightly easier to do before the panels are glued on, as the cardstock will be more flexible. Mountain fold the bottom flaps & valley fold the sides of the bag.
Next glue the side tab of the bag.
Glue the base then set your bag aside for the time being.
Now to create our matching A2 card. Firstly cut out all the panels. You will see that I have an extra rectangle piece of cardstock which is not in the file. I just cut out a rectangle 1.25″ x 4.25″ with the same paper I used on the side of my bag so that it coordinates with my card.
Glue the 2 front panels onto the card base.
Glue the extra rectangle piece onto the far right side of the inside of your card, so that when you close your card it will be visible from behind the pinking pattern.
Lastly to finish off place a cat onto the front of your bag & another onto the card front. I used foam squares to give it dimension. Then add the ribbon to your bag & any other embellishments you wish. Today I have kept it simple & only added a heart stickle.
