To Do List with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with a cute little project to help you organize!  If you’re anything like me, you have lists and sticky notes everywhere in your house!  I’m a firm believer in, “if it doesn’t get written down, it doesn’t get done!”  I saw Lori’s To Do List with Pen Holder file  (here in Silhouette Store) and thought that this would be the perfect way to consolidate all of my notes!  Take a peek…

I used the new The Story of Family Collection that Lori designed for Echo Park.  I love the colors!

I love the little tab on the side to hold a pen… I can never find one when I want one!

For the list paper, I used regular copy paper… I stapled the tops together, then adhered the “paper pad” into the list holder.  This went together really fast!  I’m going to make a few more, one for my purse and one for my daughter it will come in handy now that school is starting!  That’s it for me!  Thanks for stopping by!

Summer Fun Cards with Cathy

Hi everyone!  Cathy here with you today and I have a couple of fun summer shaped cards to share with you.  Both cards feature Lori’s Echo Park I Love Sunshine collection!  I love this collection, so many fun colors and patterns with super cute chipboard!  The ephemera pack is so fun, so many elements to create with.

I first created this side step card.  So easy to create and just a little bit of fun to brighten someone’s day.  This card fits easily into an A2 envelope with it’s clever folds.  I just added papers, chipboard and ephemera pieces from the I Love Sunshine collection!  After, I created this card…I saw that there were a bunch of new designs from Lori on the Silhouette Design Store, so I had to make just one more.

How cute it the A2 Shaped Sun Card?  So easy, I just added a couple of stickers and embossed some card stock for the center of the sun. Again, all of these goodies including that fun polka dot washi tape is from Lori’s Echo Park I Love Sunshine collection.  There are a bunch of new cards in Lori’s Shop and in the Silhouette Design Store.

Thanks so much for joining us today.  I hope you have a bright sunshine filled day!

Make Your Own Sunshine Layout with Cathy

Hi everyone!  Cathy here with you today and I have a sweet summertime layout to share with you using the Echo Park I Love Sunshine collection designed by Lori and several of her SVG files.  This collection is perfect for scrapping all of your summer memories.  Fun bright colors with gorgeous patterns and lots of special little details with the ephemera pack and chipboard stickers.

The layout features our sweet grand baby and I just may be guilty of buying that adorable itsy, bitsy, teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini to match this paper.  She is just too dang cute!

Lots of fun layers with Lori’s SVG files add fun and dimension to my layout.  A bit of polka dot washi tape from the collection and just a bit of twine add the perfect finishing touches!  Thanks for joining us today and make sure to stop by Lori’s shop for all of latest SVG files for summer scrapping!

You can find all the files at Lori’s SVG Shop.

3D Gazebo Tutorial by Traci

Happy Thursday everyone!

It’s Traci, from Artsy Albums, and I have a tutorial to share with you for creating Lori’s adorable new 3D Gazebo.  Sometimes cut files with several pieces can seem tricky, but don’t shy away!  They are actually really fun to put together and I took lots of photos to give you step by step instructions.

I always cut all of my pieces out first, and then start locating score lines.  I gently fold each piece along the scores so that I can get an idea of how the pieces will work together.

For the gazebo, I created the base first.  It folds up just like a box and has accent pieces for the sides.

The sides of the gazebo are cut in two parts.  Once you have the pieces folded along the score lines, adhere the sides together to form the structure.

Next, attach the bottom of the gazebo structure to the base and add the square “floor” piece to cover the bottom folds.

For the large roof piece, adhere it together at the tab, and then fold the sides down along the score lines.  There is a small tab on each corner to adhere the sides.

Once the roof is adhered together, add adhesive to the top of the gazebo structure’s top flaps.  Slide the roof down over the structure and press the flaps up along the inside of the roof.

The triangle pieces of the cut file are accent overlays.  You can cut them out to add another decorative pattern or color to your roof.  Finally, locate all of the folds and score lines on the steeple piece.  I missed a few of these the first time I started folding this, so note that there are multiple “levels” that fold to create the pillar section.  Once you have this piece together, adhere it to the top of the roof and your gazebo is complete!

I hope this has been helpful!  Visit Lori’s SVG shop or the Silhouette online store to purchase the gazebo.  Have fun!

Father’s Day Gift Idea

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing my take on Lori’s Tall Triangle Sides Box.

I love the look of this fun box!  It’s very easy to put together but has such a unique shape.

I used paper from the Echo Park -Jack and Jill Collection (Jack) and embellished with some stickers from the collection and a piece from the ephemera pack.

This would be a great way to give Dad a gift card or other small gift.

Be sure to visit Lori’s SVG Shop  for more great boxes and gift card holders to make your Father’s Day gift giving easy.
