Tulip Easter Basket Tutorial with Anita

 

Hello Everyone:

Anita here with a fun tutorial for putting together Lori’s fun 3D Flower Tulip which you can find here in her SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design Store.  My dear friend Kathy loves the Cadbury Cream Egg candies so I made this for her.  I bought a basket at Target and decorated it with Lori’s Echo Park collection called Celebrate Easter.  I used the patterned paper for the flowers and leaves and the stickers and enamel dots to decorate the basket.  Such a cute collection!

Here are the items that you are going to need for your project.  I also used some florists foam which I cut to fit into the basket, Zip Dry Glue, some Scotch tape and a pair of wire cutters.

First, fold your flower pieces along the score line so that the fold makes a valley on the flower petal.

Glue two of the pieces together on to form the left and right petals.

Add the third petal and you’re ready to add the wire.

I cut my wire 16 inches long and then folded it in half. The flowers are two inches tall and my basket had foam and needed a 2 inch clearance to reach the top of the basket.  I added four inches to allow for them to stand up and that is how I arrived at the 16″long, 8″ folded measurement.

I flipped the tulip petal group over and taped on the wire.  This seemed to hold better than glue.

I added the remaining 2 tulip petals, for a total of 5 for each tulip.  You are now ready to wrap the wire.

For the samples in the shop, Lori used floral tape to wrap her tulip stem.  I decided to use washi tape which had the same pattern as the leaves.  I wrapped the whole stem to the bottom.

Once I finished wrapping the stem I added one leaf at a time with some wet adhesive and nestled the second leaf into the first.

I then wrapped some washi tape around the bottom of the leaves to hide where they come out of the stem.

Here is a close up of the basket with my completed flowers.  These tulips were so quick and easy to make!  I hope that you have a chance to check out Lori’s SVG Shop to see what other adorable Easter items she has created.

Hugs,

Anita

St. Patrick’s Day Card with Anita

 

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a card that I just fell in love with.  These pop up box cards of Lori’s are so cute and so easy to put together.  You can find this file called Pop Up Box Card St. Patrick’s Truck here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Store.  I made this for my son and daughter-in-law as he has and loves his truck.  I used several of Lori’s Echo Park Collections to complete my card.  I used Happiness is Homemade, Celebrate Easter, I Love Winter, Celebrate Spring and some cloud stickers from the Celebrate Spring collection and those adorable enamel dots from Celebrate Easter.

This is how the card looks half way open.  The dimension is so cool on these cards.

Here it is complexly flat.  Also, Lori has a wonderful, quick video tutorial on how to put these cards together on her YouTube Channel here.  Hope you have a great St. Patrick’s Day and be sure to check out all the fun cut files Lori has to celebrate the wearin’ O the Green.

Hugs,

Anita

 

New Pattern Fills in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!

I’m excited to announce a new category for Pattern Fills in my SVG shop! We have added 8 basic collections including 368 patterns in 300 DPI JPG format. These files can be used as fill patterns in Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio (Designer Edition). You can also open them in photo editing programs such as Photoshop and use them for digital scrapbooking or other digital projects. If you use the print and cut feature of your Cricut or Silhouette, these are the perfect addition to your library!  And, they are all 25% OFF through Sunday. Take a peek…

These are so easy to work with, and will brighten any print and cut project!  Below, I’ve put together some basic steps to add and use these pattern fills in both Silhouette and Cricut.

Silhouette Studio

  1. You must have the Designer Edition upgrade to use these fill patterns. I highly recommend the Designer Edition of the Silhouette Studio software because it unlocks great features like fill patterns. If you are interested, you can buy it HERE.
  2. Purchase, download, and locate the folder on your computer that contains the the JPG pattern set from my shop.
  3. In another window, Open up Silhouette Studio. Click Show Library (the book shaped icon in the left tool bar). Click the My Patterns folder.
  4. Simply drag and drop the patterns from your desktop directly into your My Patterns folder. It will appear in alphabetical order.
  5. You can now access these fill patterns in your Fill Patterns Window! To use them click on a shape that you’d like to fill with a pattern. Then open the Fill Patterns Window, scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see a category named My Patterns. Choose the pattern you’d like and it will fill the shape.
  6. If you’d like to manipulate the pattern like change the size, rotate, or pan (move the pattern around), you can click on “Advanced Fill Patterns” and change the settings there.

Cricut

  1. Purchase and download the pattern set from my shop.
  2. Sign into Design Space and click UPLOAD IMAGES on the left side of the screen.
  3. A window will open and prompt you to choose Image or Pattern Fill.  Select Pattern Fill.
  4. Click Browse to locate the pattern where you saved it on your computer.  The file selector will open, select the file you want to upload, then click Open.
  5. Name your pattern and tag it if desired.  When you’re done click SAVE.

Now that you have the patterns uploaded. Follow these steps to use patterns the patterns in Cricut Design Space:

  1. Click the layer thumbnail of the image layer you want to change in the layers panel.  This will bring up the layer attributes panel.
  2. Make sure you have the layer set to be a print layer, then click Patterns.  This will open the patterns window and display all available patterns.
  3. Click on the pattern thumbnail to apply the pattern fill to your image layer.

I hope you enjoy the new Fill Patterns in all of your print and cut projects! They are all 25% OFF through Sunday!
