Easter Card by Christine and Spring Frame by Natalie

I LOVE Spring/Easter decor. It is a great reminder that this cold, ugly snow will go away someday. Christine is first to share the joy today, she says…
Easter comes early this year so I wanted to get a head start on my Easter cards.  This pretty little basket filled with eggs is just the perfect focal point for my round card.  Check out the envelope too.  It’s so fancy with a matching rounded flap.
Files I used:
Easter Basket in the Silhouette store  #7909
Elegant String Tied Envelope in the Silhouette store #6239
Next up is Natalie with an adorable Easter Frame…
Hello everyone, I am starting to think spring might be around the corner.  We had a glorious weekend here, and we are actually starting to see patches of grass around.  So I guess that means it is ok to start decorating for spring.  I love spring, I love the flowers it brings and the colors of all the decorations.  So I decided to make a cute little shadow box with this cute little bunny I found in Lori’s shop.
To make this, I used Lori’s 5×7 shadow box frame found here, which also includes a tutorial with it, that came in handy when assembling it.  I also used her bunny silhouette found here, and her Hello Summer collection from Echo Park.
Once the frame was all built, I added the bunny with a little foam adhesive and added a little cotton to the tale.  I think it turned out great, clean and simple and ready to make my house happy with spring!

Happy Valentines Day projects by Corri & Amanda

Happy Valentines Day! or SAD (Single Awareness Day) as my teenagers would say. We hope no matter your situation you have a fabulous day! As always we are sharing some amazing projects. First up is the talented Corri, she says…

Happy Valentine’s Day!  I hope you all have a great day with the ones you love.

I have one last Valentine’s Day project to show you and I have to say I’m a little sad….I’ve had so much fun creating with the Love Story Collection from Echo Park, designed by Lori Whitlock.  

For today’s project, I made a simple card using two hearts from Lori’s 11 hearts set. 

I created the scallop mat by welding a border strip to a rectangle. I cut this adorable tall heart gable box to match.  This box is super simple to make….it cuts out has one piece. I added some chipboard embellishments from the Love Story collection.

Amanda has created this beautiful Valentines Day Box…

As it’s valentine’s day I thought I’d create and decorate Lori’s fabulous heart shaped box. I used some layered flowers and doilies on the lid for embellishment. I glittered the flower pieces and added a valentine’s border around the lid.
I used the Love Story papers and SVG Files used are:
3 doilies 3 
Heart Shaped box
Valentines borders 2 
5 layering flowers 

Last Minutes Valentines Projects by Natalie & Christine

 Are you finishing up last minute touches for Valentines day? Here a couple beautiful projects for you to try…
Well, I have a quick and easy project for you today.  I kind of have this thing for changing out my pillows for the different holidays.  I just have three pillow forms I picked up at Hobby Lobby last fall, and have been making slip covers for every holiday since.  So Valentine’s in no exception, however, I couldn’t find any cute Valentine fabric I liked enough to stare at for a whole month.  So last time I was at Hobby Lobby, I ran across these fabrics, and as much as they are cute, they are not very holidayish (is that even a word?)  So I took it upon my self to fix that.  I grabbed some iron on vinyl from my stash, and a cute file from Lori’s shop, and now the set looks the part.
 
I simply made three pillow cases, but the one that was white I stitched with some red tread to make it a little more fun.  Then I cut out the heart, and ironed it on.  I love quick projects like this, but they look pretty fancy still.
The file I used was from Lori’s shop called 3 hearts and you can find it here.
Next is Christine with this adorable Valentine Heart Shaped Box…
For those who are still trying to think of the perfect gift to give your “somebody special” on Valentine’s Day, I have a fun and easy idea for you.  This beautiful heart shaped box goes together in minutes and is beautiful as well as functional.  

To make the box I used Lori’s Heart Shaped Box cut from her store and then decorated it with one of the new 3D Flowers Sets in her shop.  I used a special trick in my Silhouette program to make the pink of the flower match the box perfectly.  Stop by my blog to find out how I did it.

After the pieces were cut I also added a little Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks to the curled up edges to create depth.
This picture shows the top and bottom of the box.  I love the pretty scalloped trim on the top of the box.  I added some black satin ribbon because it coordinated so well with Lori’s Love Story paper collection by Echo Park.
And here is where the functional part comes in.  Fill it with a favorite treat, candies, cookies, a handwritten note or anything else you can think of.  Stop by my blog to find out a few tips on using digital paper and the print and cut function to create this hybrid project.
