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!

Thank you for stopping by today, and as always please let us know if we can help you with your files!

Happiness is Homemade Gift Box with Anita

Anita here with a quick and easy tutorial to put together Lori’s Matchbox Drawer Card-Cooking.  You can find this cut file here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Design Store. It is such a cute box and you can fit many little treats in it. It would be a great thank you gift for a good deed done.

First, cut the pieces of the box.  I cut one extra rectangle because I wanted my box top to use the lovely Happiness is Homemade collection from Echo Park Paper.  I also used one of the die cut cardstock pieces from the matching Ephemera kit. I love to bake so this line was made for me.

This piece is for the main box.  Fold it along the score lines and glue it together.  It is easiest to glue the tabs in place first and then glue down the ends as you will see in the photos below.

Here the completed box.

Fold the outer wrap for the box on the score lines and glue the tab to the end of the strip.

 

These are the pieces for the card top.

To make the tab,  fold a 3″ piece of ribbon in half and glue it between the two layers of paper when you glue the inner piece inside the card.

You can see where I put the Die Cut from the Happiness is Homemade Echo Park Collection by Lori.  It’s so cute.

Here is a view of the slide for the box.

And here we have the completed pieces.  This box went together very quickly and Lori has so many different designs for many occasions to choose from.  Lastly, you will embellish your box with the cute baking tools that are part of this cut file.  Hope you have a chance to get creative today.

Hugs,

Anita
