You’re A Good Egg

 

 

You’re a good egg!!!  

 

This fun new cardstock release from Lori Whitlock is so fun. Having been a “chicken mom” for several years, I fell in love with it right away!

 

For my card today I used Lori’s 6×6 Chickens paper pad and also the coordinating ephemera package

and Lori’s Shaped Card Chick Egg cut file. (SVG, Silhouette) 

 

I resized the chick file so that it would fit inside the frame that came with the ephemera package. I then cut it out with my Silhouette. All other papers came either with the 6×6 pad or from the packaged goodies. I added the chick to my card with an action wobbler so the cute little chick could ruffle it’s feathers! I must say that the paper with the carton of eggs is my fave! I  used it for the background of this card.

I know you will love these chickens too!

Box Card Fall Barn

Hi there friends! I have been loving the Chickens collection by Echo Park Paper and wanted to use it again for another project. This barn box card is perfect for this paper collection (SVG, Silhouette). I added a cute chicken sticker to the front of the card for an additional embellishment. I think it is darling and will make a fun birthday card for someone special.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Box Card Pineapple Drink Tutorial

Good morning!! Today is National Refreshment Day. This beverage holiday toasts those moments of ice, cold refreshment. So what a better time to send one of these cute pineapple drink cards?!  Today I will walk you thought the assembly. First cut allyour pieces and lay them out.

First I assembled the fruit and added score tape to the tabs. My paper is from Echo Park’s Little Things Mean A Lot collection.

Next is the base, add score tape to the tab like in the photo below.

Make your box by folding where the perforations are and adhering your score tape to the inside of the neighboring flap.

Add your dark brown piece to the light brown piece and then add both the back and front to the box making sure the small portion is on the bottom like below.

Once you have your front and back attached, fold the perforated tabs and line the top of the inset up with the top of the pineapple and adhere to the sides with your score tape.

Add the second insert and get ready to mail your refreshment!

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

A “Chickens” Mini Cookbook

 Hi everyone!  I have a fun little mini album to share with you today.  I created it with Lori’s new Echo Park Chickens collection.  I used every element of this collection, from the 12×12 paper pack, the frames n tags, the ephemera, enamel dots, matching cardstock and the 6×6 pad.  How blessed I am to have all this at my fingertips to create with.

 

I started by choosing four patterned papers to create envelopes.  I used this envelope, Nesting Window Card Envelope in Lori’s Shop.  I cut them and assembled, just ATG tape was used to adhere.
I then took all four and used my Cinch binding machine to create the little book with a spiral binding.
After I had my pages bound I then used this fun elements sheet to make 4 mini cards to go inside the envelopes. I cut my card stock 8.5 x 4. 25 inches and scored in the middle to make the little cards.
Simple little cards, my plan is to add my daughter’s favorite chicken dish recipes to these.  Hand written is the goal.
Next, I cut four library pockets and I just adhered these with ATG adhesive as well.
Next, four tags cut from an elements page to go inside my four pockets.  Again, I will add more hand written recipes.
I adhered the library pockets onto the back of the envelopes as you can see in the following photos.

 

This is a darling collection and just so perfect for creating a cookbook.

 

Thank you for stopping by!
