Carriage Mini Album

Hello to all! Aimee here today with a mini album for that special little girl in your life! It’s fun for me to look at all of the different SVG files from Lori and get ideas on how to use those files by thinking out of the box. There are so many possibilities when you do a little altering with the files.

When I looked at the Princess Carriage Treat Box (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette) I could perfectly envision a mini album made with it. And it looks quite adorable made with the new All Girl collection! If you are interested in making one of these, grab your papers, stickers, embellies, and some thick white cardstock and check out my simple instructions down below.

Here is a closer look at the inside pages:

Instructions: Delete any of the pieces not needed. I did not need the box, the inside wheel pieces and the heart.

Cut out the pieces needed for the front cover of the mini album. I choose different shades of pink for the carriage and some wood print cardstock for the wheels. For the inside pages of the mini, cut out 2 of the full shapes for each page and glue them together for sturdy pages. I have 5 inside pages so I cut out 10 of the full shapes.

Using the Internal Offset, create a shape that fits inside the cuts that will be the pages. This will be for the pattern paper that fits just inside of the white pages. Assemble your album and then all that is left to do is have fun decorating each page!! You will have a blast decorating your mini with all of the fun elements of the new All Girl collection!

I hope you all have a great day.  Thanks for stopping by and stay safe and healthy!!

Spring Shaped Cards

Hi there friends! Brandie here sharing some of the new shaped cards for Spring. I made the Frog (SVG, Silhouette), Bee (SVG, Silhouette), and Rose (SVG, Silhouette). You can also find the bundle here (SVG). These little cards are so sweet and would make any recipient smile. I also think these would be a great kids craft. The pieces are easy to assemble and do not need a lot of supplies.

I used two shades of green cardstock and a bubbles embossing folder to give my frog some fun texture.

The patterned paper and stickers are from the Spring Fling collection by Echo Park Paper. I also used a a chevron embossing folder on the yellow sections of the bee.

I got a little fancier with the rose card and turned it into a shaker card. To make the shaker element I used the same technique found in this tutorial by Cathy.  I used various shades of cardstock, a sequin mix, and a Swiss dot embossing folder.

I hope you all have a great day.  Thanks for stopping by and stay safe.

Box Card Easter Flower Crate

Hi Everyone:

Anita here from MA where we are practicing social distancing and trying to help end this pandemic.  My creative endeavors have kept me going while having to be at home so much.  Lori has lots of wonderful cut files that you can easily whip up to bring some joy to a friend or loved one.  I created this Box Card Easter Flower Crate which was so easy to put together and as you can see in the second photo, folds flat for mailing.  You can find this cut file here in Lori’s SVG shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used some of Lori’s Echo Park collections including her newest ones called All Boy and All Girl.  I also used My Favorite Christmas, My Favorite Winter and Easter Wishes.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita

Mini-Album with Band

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share a cute mini-album I put together this weekend.  The mini-album features one of Lori’s newest collections from Echo Park Paper, All Girl.  This set is loaded with cute graphics and bright colors.

 

This adorable little mini-album was made using the Mini-Album with Band file available in Lori’s shop and at the Silhouette Design Store.  This mini-album can be made using a single sheet of paper.  I used one of the album itself and a few extras for the inside pages and band,  just to change up the patterns inside the album.     The original file includes a rectangle with rounded corners for the cover, but I duplicated that shape to create background pages inside the album.  I ended up cutting 8 rectangles from two different double-sided pieces of patterned paper and alternated these inside the album.  I know that pictures will eventually fill the mini-album, but I still wanted to add a little bit of flair to the pages.  I used small stickers to accent the inside pages of the mini-album.

 

Lori has a lot of mini-albums available in her SVG Shop and the Silhouette Store, so be sure to check them out!

Until next time,

Michelle
