Tuesday Freebie + New in Shop

TODAY & TOMORROW, this SVG file is FREE with Purchase.

First off, I wanted to talk to the Cricut Explore users out there. Cricut just launched Design Space 2.0. The good news is that SVG files now come in at the original size!! This is so great. There really isn’t any need to reference the “cut size” info any more.  If you have any issues with score marks staying in place please contact me for updated files. I am more than happy to help you get files that are working smoothly for you. I promise that I’m working hard to make sure my files are Cricut Explore compatible. Each time they upgrade their software, it seems to bring up a new issue, but I will make sure my customers are happy and get you the files you need. And, once I update a file, I am replacing it in the shop so future customers are receiving the most current file. Please contact me right away if you have any concerns with your files by emailing me at info@loriwhitlock.com. I love my customers! Without you, I would not be designing. Thank you for your loyalty.

We have an adorable free file with purchase today! Simply add this file: Pocket Ring Mini Album to your shopping cart along with any $2 purchase from www.loriwhitlock.com/shop and this file is yours FREE. Your cart must reach at least $3.98 before the coupon will be applied and then $1.99 will be subtracted from your total at checkout. The files will be available for immediate download after you pay for your order.  Be sure to use Coupon Code: MINI (case sensitive) at checkout. Hurry! This offer is good until Wednesday (tomorrow) at midnight!

 

All or our files now come Cricut Explore friendly. If you need updated files, don’t hesitate to ask by emailing us HERE. As we update the files, we are replacing them in the shop for future customers. If you need PDFs for hand cutting and they are not included in the file, also feel free to email us.

Finally… we have a HUGE NEW release this week in the  SVG Shop, and they are ALL on SALE 25% OFF through the weekend!!! These downloads include SVG files. 3D files include cut size information and a PDF for hand cutting if desired. Read description before making your purchase.

3×3″ Pop-up cards with Traci

Hi Lori fans!  It’s Traci from Artsy Albums and I’m back to share Lori’s new pop-up cards with you.  These are quick and easy to make, and will be perfect little notecards for gifts.    Lori designed them as Valentine’s cards … but I wanted to show you how easily they can be turned into birthday, thank you, thinking of you cards, etc.

The base of the card is 3″x 3″ and it cuts out in one piece that folds up.  Lori has a simple instruction sheet for folding these little gems here.

There are several designs to choose from … the dinosaur is my favorite!  Check out those little spikes down his back!  How cute is that!?

Lori added a notch on the card so that they can stay closed, as well as base cover pieces that you can cut and then embellish the front as you wish.

As you can see, I had fun adding stickers and gems to mine!  I hope I’ve inspired you today!  I know you’ll have fun with these!

Valentine Trio

Hi everyone!  Cathy here with you today to share a Valentine Trio of Treat Holders created by Lori Whitlock!  I used papers and stickers from 3 of Echo Park’s collection designed by Lori…Fine & Dandy, We Are Family, and Here & Now.  I needed to create Valentines for my favorite little people.  I know they will love these!  I used the 3d heart cracker box, 3d heart pocket and the adorable 3d mini mailbox files.  These are all linked to the Silhouette Design Store!

The 3D heart cracker box is so cute and easy to put together.  Just one row of adhesive, tie one end and fill will candy…then tie the other end!

And how cute is this 3D mini mailbox?  And again so easy to put together!  Really, you can make all of these in no time at all and have a jump start on all of your Valentine goodies.

Lots of room for all kinds of candies and chocolate!

Next up, this fun 3D heart pocket!  Gorgeous and ready to fill with treats!

There is so much room, that I still need to go buy more goodies to put inside and keep some others from sneaking treats early!

Make sure to stop by the Lori Whitlock Shop to check out all of her amazing Valentine files.  There are so many to choose from and they are all adorable!

Vintage Screen Card with Cathy

Hi Everyone!  Cathy here with you today sharing a couple of cards created with Lori’s Carta Bella Yesterday Collection.  The first one features her new Screen Card with Flowers.  I am loving these new screen cards, there are 3 different ones to choose from; a wedding and baby cards along with this flower one.  Lots of fun layers with the Carta Bella Yesterday papers and embellishments.  You have four different screens to decorate….I chose to decorate three and will write my sentiment of the fourth screen.  I also chose to add the flowers included in the file on the third screen instead of the front.    The fun border on the bottom of the entire card was cut using a Designer Die from Carta Bella called Yesterday Edges.

And while I was in the vintage mood, I created on more card using A2 Tabbed Card & Sleeve Scalloped.  How cute is this file?!  Love the scallops and fun little envelope….perfect for turning the journaling cards in the collection into cute cards!

Thanks for joining us today!
