A Purrfect Valentine with Kathy

February 6, 2019February 5, 2019

Have you seen the new Shadow Box Card Scene Valentine Bundle? (available individually in the Silhouette Store here) I just love these little cards, they are so cute and so easy to assemble since the characters are done using Print and Cut!

Being a cat lover, of course I had to make the cute Cat version (SVG, Silhouette) of the card….

I used the Lori’s new Easter Wishes Collection for Echo Park Paper to piece it together. The colors are perfect for Valentine’s and Spring! For a full tutorial for Lori’s Shadow Box Scene Cards, see her YouTube Channel here. This bundle is 25% off this week in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop! That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

5 X 7 Lace Edge Card Tutorial with Anita

January 31, 2019January 30, 2019

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a fun and easy tutorial to make this lace edge card which you can use for any occasion that you need a pretty card . You can find the file that I used called Lace Edge 3 here in Lori’s SVG store and here in the Silhouette Design store. As you will see there are many different styles to choose from. I used Lori’s new fabulous Echo Park collection called Celebrate Winter. Planning to send this off to a friend with warm winter wishes.

Here are the three pieces that you will be cutting out using your preferred electronic cutter. The card base, the insert and the pocket that holds the insert.

Place your card in front of you with the fold on the left. Fold on the score lines on the card and also on the pocket. Next you will glue the pocket to the right side of the card putting glue only on the tabs. This photo shows the pocket completed and the insert inside. Below is another shot which has the insert half way out so that you can see it.

This card goes together so easily and as you see can be used for whatever occasion you want. You could even slip a gift card, cash or check in the pocket with your sentiment as well. That’s it for me today.

Hugs,

Anita

It’s cold outside! It seems as if everyone I know is coughing, sneezing, or has some other Winter ailment. Michelle Zerull here today to share a sweet paper teapot. It won’t cure a cold, but it will make your day a more cheerful one.

You can find this 3D Teapot 2 in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or at the Silhouette Design Store. It’s one of Lori’s classic designs.

The lid comes off so that you can insert a small gift. It would be a great place to to tuck a small package of tea or soup packets to give to a sick friend.

I made panels for my teapot from Lori’s newest paper collection, Easter Wishes by Echo Park Paper. All of the papers in this collection have such lovely prints!

Valentine’s Day Cards by Aimee

January 28, 2019January 27, 2019

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here today to share a brand new set of Valentine’s Day cards by Lori. I love making Valentine’s Day projects and these cards were the perfect thing to make for my 3 kiddos. The best thing about these cards is they came together quickly and I had fun choosing which colors I was going to use for each one.

Lori has the set of 4 in her shop here. There is also a “Hugs” card in the set. You can find these sweet cards in the Silhouette Studio here, Valentine Card Love, Valentine Card Kiss, Valentine Card Hugs, and Valentine Card XOXO.

For each card I just happen to have matching sequins and twine in my stash for each of the colors along with 3 red buttons. I really adore how these fun little cards turned out!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Mini Mailbox Tutorial with Michelle

January 3, 2019January 2, 2019

Happy New Year! Now that we’ve said goodbye to 2018, it’s time for me, Michelle, to start my 2019 Valentine crafts. Today I would like to share a tutorial for one of Lori’s Mini Mailboxes. It’s a classic! You can find the SVG files at the Silhouette Design Store, or at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

Mini Paper Mailbox using I HEART Crafting by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park Paper

The file is adorable and so easy to put together. It would be great as a treat box or a fun place for children to leave little notes. It would be a fun snow day activity too. The possibilities are endless, so let’s get started!

Mini Mailbox Pieces cut from SVG Files

First, cut out your pieces. I used the Lori Whitlock I HEART CRAFTING line by Echo Park Paper. It’s not Valentine or Love themed paper, but the pinks and reds are perfect for both! Tip: It’s easier to glue down your embellishments while it is still flat. The paper will curve easier if you use a dry adhesive, like a tape runner or double sided tape for your embellishments.

Photo Tutorial For Paper Mini Mailbox Assembly

Here are the steps to assemble the mailbox:

Using a kitchen skewer or dowel rod, gentle train the paper to curve as shown.
Fold all glue tabs inwards and apply adhesive. I used a quick dry liquid glue.
Turn the box on its end and place your hand inside to push down against the table. This will give you a flat surface to push against and make sure that the glue tabs are all attached to the inside.
Attach the mailbox flag to the base with a brad. Tip: Using a brad will allow the flag to move, but if you don’t have any, it will still be cute! Try gluing a button for another fun look!

The cute little postage stamps shown in the photo are also from Lori’s SVG files. You can find them at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or at the Silhouette Design Store. The other decorative elements I cut from some of Lori’s other various files.
