Hi there friends! With Easter just two weeks away I thought I would share the darling new Box Card Easter Lamb (SVG, Silhouette). This little card comes together quickly and can be massed produced easily. It only has eleven pieces that can all fit on one cutting mat! For a general assembly tutorial for shaped box cards, see this post.

The pattern paper and flower sticker is from the Easter Wishes collection by Echo Park Paper.

And don’t forget that there is a Customer Appreciation Sale happening now in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!  All SVGs, Fonts, Pattern Fills and Commercial Licenses are half off when you use code THANKYOU at checkout!

(These downloads include SVG files that may be used with Cricut Explore, Silhouette (Designer Edition upgrade required), Eclips, Brother Scan and Cut, and any other software that will open SVG files.)

I hope you are all safe and well.

Happy Easter!

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

 

Hexagon Easter Basket Tutorial

Hello and happy crafty Thursday! Aimee here with you today sharing a tutorial on how to assemble the adorable Hexagon Easter Basket (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette). These little baskets are so cute and look great in a rainbow of colors!

First thing to do is match up some 12×12 papers for each basket. And pull the SVG file up on your screen.

This particular SVG file requires you to cut 2 each of the base of the basket and the layering pieces. I cut out 2 of the handles as well. I wanted the handle to be solid colored instead of being able to see the underside of the patterned paper.

Here are the pieces of the basket that I started assembling.

Adhere the two pieces that make the base of the basket. To make it easy, I adhered the side tabs on each piece and laid them flat to make sure that both pieces were even along the top edges. Then I added the layered pieces and then started assembling the bottom tabs to complete the bottom part of the basket.

Glue the two handle pieces together and lay aside to dry.

Adhere the bottom tabs of the basket to the hexagon piece to complete the base of the basket.

Attach the handle to the basket. There are holes in the handle and the basket to add a brad to attach the two together. Last thing to do is assemble the bow and adhere it to the handle.

Then you get to fill your baskets up with some Easter grass and something decorative or some Easter yummies! Add them to your Easter decor or to your Easter dinner table with a chocolate bunny.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you find these Easter baskets just as adorable as I do and give them a try!

Twist Pop Card with a Twist

Today I am sharing a “twist” on a twist pop card file.  Lori has several Twist Pop Card styles.  You can use any one of them to make this project.  These are the files I used.

Twist Pop Card Thank You (SVG, Silhouette)
Library Pockets (SVG, Silhouette and Silhouette)

I resized the library pockets to fit on the pop out piece where the word KIND is in the above card.  I cut out all the pieces and assembled the card using Lori’s tutorial found here. I then added the pockets. In addition, I made an insert card for each pocket.  And this is how it turned out.

I also decorated the front and back of the card.

 

I used papers and stickers from Lori’s Forward with Faith Collection from Echo Park.

I am writing a message on the card inserts, but you could also fill the pockets with money or gift cards!

Have a great day!

Valentine Gift Bags

Happy Monday crafty friends! Aimee here with you today! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I have to say that it is very close to being one of my favorite holidays! I am a firm believer in showing love all through the year but Valentine’s Day is great occasion to delve into the paper stash and have fun making crafty gifts to show your love!

Today I am sharing a couple of bags that were made with the Purse With Bow SVG (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette). Once I had all of my pieces cut out, it seemed the bags came together in no time at all!

The bags alone would be fun to decorate with some die cuts but there is a great bow included with this one! Once I had the bags put together and the bows attached, I knew I needed a little something extra. Some twine and a couple of the tags from the sticker sheet would be perfect to hang off of the handle to complete them!

Add a bag of candy with a twine bow and look how adorable these turned out using the Echo Park Be My Valentine collection!

Thanks for stopping by today!
