The Great Outdoors Layout

I have a layout to share with you today great with Lori’s Echo Park Let’s Go Anywhere Collection.  I had this beautiful picture of my little grand daughter fishing on the dock.  I knew this would be the perfect collection to use for this adorable photo of her.  Can you tell that this little person holds my heart?  I used lots of Lori’s files to create this.  I love to layer and she has so many files that are perfect for this.  I have them all listed under the photo.

 

Tabbed Borders SVG  or here in the Silhouette Design Store
11 Hearts SVG I cut lots of hearts in various sizes  or here in the Silhouette Design Store
3×4 life cards SVG or here in the Silhouette Design Store
The Great Outdoors Phrase (Silhouette)I added the shadow behind it and the stitching with a sketch pen
Star gift card SVG I just used the stare shape in various sizes or here in the Silhouette Design Store

I love how this turned out….I love to use just pieces and parts of Lori’s files to create.  You can always look at a file and a find the perfect project for you!  Layer, layer, layer!

Have a great day!

Birthday Dog Pop-Up Card

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I thought I would get a jump start on some of the birthday cards I will need in the coming months. My daughter is turning 30 at the end of the month! I can’t believe it!! Since she is a veterinarian and partial to dogs, so I thought I would make her this Rectangle Pop-Up Dog Birthday Card (SVG, Silhouette).

The card is shown in Lori’s store in bright boy colors, but I wanted my card to be girly. My daughter’s favorite color is pink, so I select a pretty pink pattern paper from the new Lori Whitlock Birthday Girl collection from Echo Park Paper to use for the card panels around the base. I also used die cut ephemera from the same collection for the sentiment on the card front. You can use the print and cut feature to use the Happy Birthday sentiment that comes with the cut file instead if you desire. The balloons were cut with paper from the coordinating Birthday Girl solid color paper pack. I inked the edges for dimension and added highlights with a white gel pen. With a black marker, I even added strings for my balloons.

The back side of this card is just as adorable as the front …

This card folds flat for mailing in a 5.5″ x 6.5″ or bigger envelope. Lori also has a tutorial for her rectangle pop up cards here.  There is a super cute cat version of this card as well. Be sure to check it out in Lori’s store.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great week!

Happy New Year!

Hello Everyone! I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday.  As we approach the New Year I made two of Lori’s New Year’s cards.  The links for each card are below the photos.  I used Lori’s Echo Park Paper collections including A Perfect Winter and My Favorite Winter to assemble these cards.

Gift Card Tag

Hi there friends! Do you need a cute way to give a gift card? I like giving drink cards for teacher gifts and wanted a cute way to dress them up. I used the Gift Card Tag Christmas Tree P&C (SVG, Silhouette).  This file has a print and cut Christmas tree image, but I wanted to use some of the new Christmas Magic goodies from Echo Park Paper. I tied some crinkled seam binding through the top hole and stuffed my gift cards inside. Easy-peasy cute gifting!

 

And don’t forget, we have a Gift Certificate Special happening through tomorrow.  Purchase a $25 gift certificate for a friend (or yourself!) and get a $10 credit added to your Lori Whitlock Shop Account.  Don’t miss out, this special ends tomorrow!

Sleigh Box Card Tutorial

Merry Christmas!  I can’t believe that Christmas is just a few days away.  Time flies this time of year.  Lori has so many holiday cards and projects in the shop, and I simply do not have enough time to create.  But it’s no secret that I love to make her Box Cards, they are so easy and they just have the best Wow! factor when you are giving them or mailing them.  They are really a gift within themselves.  I will show you how easy they are to create.  I used the Sleigh with Presents Box Card in Lori’s SVG Shop or you can find in here in the Silhouette Design Store.

You can see the file here on my screen.  The first thing I do is ungroup the file and I always sort my pieces by color.  I love that Lori adds color to her files, it makes them so much easier to separate.

Here you can see how I separated the pieces, then you can start cutting color by color.

Below you can see that I have all my pieces cut out and ready for assembly!  For this card, I added my silver sleigh runners and silver trim while I had the pieces laying flat.

You see here that I added my silver trim and folded my score lines.  Yeppers, I have a boo boo on my silver trim, but didn’t have enough silver glitter paper to recut it, so I will just cover that little error up and customize it a bit….lol!  All you need to do here is add some adhesive to the little tab and create a box shape!

Now we have our little sleigh with that little boo boo!

Next, you can adhere all your little pieces to the present insert piece and add you adhesive to the little tabs.  This insert is now ready to adhere to the inside sides your sleigh!

It just sits down, inside your sleigh.  Just adhere the tabs even to to sides.  And just like that you’ve created a box card.  This little sleigh only has one insert, but Lori has lots with more than one insert, and when that is the case, she numbers them in order for you.  So much fun!

I used Lori’s Echo Park Christmas Magic collection to embellish my sleigh!  The picture below shows my sleigh before I started embellishing….my favorite part!

All done!  So cute!  You can’t even tell where my little error was with the silver glitter paper.  I love how this turned out!  So easy and quick to create.

The box cards even fold flat for mailing!  Who wouldn’t want to receive one of these in the mail!?

And don’t forget, there is a sale happening now in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!  All SVGs, Fonts, Commercial Licenses and Pattern Fills are 30% off when you used code DEC2021 at checkout! Don’t miss out, sale ends Saturday!

Thank you for joining us today, we can’t wait to see what you create!  Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! ~ Cathy
