Stationary Set

I love the gracefulness of Lori’s “Stationary Set” and Joy did a great job of capturing just that. I love that you can get such an intricate cut from this file. Joy used a variety of Echo Parks papers designed by Lori,  Hello Summer paper pack and a journaling card from This & That Graceful to complete her project. She did such a great job with this, thanks Joy! She has more details on her blog and you can check that out here.

Be on the lookout for some exciting news tomorrow!

When I saw Corri’s project for today… it made me smile. She’s made a darling birthday set for us using the new cupcake file and card file. Take a look:

Corri says “I used my Cameo to cut Lori’s cupcake shaped box from Echo Park – So Happy Together collection.   This box goes together very quickly and is the perfect size to hold a small gift or a yummy treat. I embellished my little box with some lace trim and a rolled flower.  These flowers are my favorite embellishment…they make everything look cute!

For my card, I used one of the belly band cards and embellished it with the little cupcake from this set.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps – Dancing in Circles.  The stamp fits perfectly on the card exactly as sized.”
THANKS CORRI! Stunning as always! Go check out her blog for more amazing projects.
Have a great day!

So Easy

Anyone that knows me, knows that hand making cards is just NOT my thing. They end up as clutter and turn into trash after I spent way too much time on them, so you can imagine my hesitance at making any of Lori’s amazing cards. Don’t get me wrong, they are BEAUTIFUL and inspire me as I upload them into the shop. And this week that desire to play with them over ran my clutter theory, and boy am I glad. These cards were so easy and fast! I think it took more time glueing pieces together than it did cutting everything, and it didn’t take that long to glue them.

I used a few of Lori’s files for these cards as well as her “Note to Self” collection from Echo Park. The “Birthday Button Set” inspired this round of cards. Originally it was just going to be one card, but I had left overs and some other patterns I was dying to try. I also used  “Card Base and Envelope Set 2” for the Birthday card. These are AMAZING. If you have not tried any of them head over to the shop and grab one, or two, or three ;). They cut out so fast and beautiful. For the star card I used Lori’s “Belly Band Cards.” I can’t say enough about how quick and easy these were. I definitely see card making in my future thanks to Lori. Glad she has lots to choose from. There is a bit more info on my blog if you need it… happy card making, Lisa
