2019 Twist Pop Card with Anita

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone.  Anita here to share with you this awesome and easy to make twist pop card.  I used Lori’s new Echo Park collection
called Celebrate Winter and her cut file called Twist Pop Card 2019 which you can find here in SVG format and here in the Silhouette store.  Lori has a wonderful tutorial on how to assemble this card here ,

When you open the card the center pops out!

Here is the view from the top down while the card is open.

That’s it for me today.  Hope that 2019 is wonderful to you and your loved ones in all ways possible.

Hugs,

Anita

Christmas with my Gnomies Set by Anita

 

Anita here today to share an adorable gift set that I made for a dear friend who happens to love gnomes.  Lori Whitlock has several different cards which you can customize to make adorable cards and gifts.  This card is a box card ( you can find a tutorial here ) and the cut file is called 5X7 Box Card Gnome and you can find it here in Lori’s shop and here in the Silhouette store.  I used one of Lori’s wonderful new Echo Park collections called Celebrate Christmas.  The Notebook is from her Celebrate Christmas line also, and is called Lined Inserts.  My friend was thrilled to receive this gift.

Here is the card open and standing up.

Here is a close up of the notebook.

Lastly this is a photo of the card folded flat and ready for mailing.  That’s it for me today.  Happy Holidays everyone.

Hugs,

Anita

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

 

Anita here with a fun tutorial to make this gift set.  I love to quilt and embroider as much as I love to paper craft and I was thrilled to recently discover that Lori Whitlock has embroidery files that she has designed, many of which mirror her paper craft SVG files.  You can find her gorgeous embroidery files at Embroidery Online.  I will give you all the links in the post .

I bought shrink film from Amazon and used Lori’s Print & Cut Stamps Christmas Cookies which you can find here in her store .  I resized the image of the gingerbread man so that it would come out the size that I wanted.  I then printed the image onto the shrink film through my laser printer.  Just let it dry for a few minutes before coloring it.

I then used my Copic markers to color the shrink film.  I knew that the colors would deepen once I shrunk the image so chose my colors with that in mind.  I used R37, E11, G14, G07, E99 for the gingerbread man and Y08, E99, R37, G07 for the Gingerbread house.  Be sure to punch a hole in your shrink film before you put it in the oven and remember that the hole shrinks also.  The directions say to bake the film on parchment at 300 degrees for 2-3 minutes but I found that my heat gun worked much better as I could control the plastic as it shrank.  Below is the before picture.

Here is the photo of the shrink plastic after it was  done.

I went to Embroidery online and bought the bundle which had all the Christmas embroidery files that I wanted to use for this project.  It is called Christmas Time by Lori Whitlock.  You can buy the collection or the individual embroidery files.  I embroidered the phrase It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas on a piece cotton.  I then finished the edges and glued it to the front of my tote.  I also embroidered my daughter-in-law’s name on the top of the apron as this set is for her.  She is an amazing baker.

I then strung my two adorable gingerbread embellishments on some yummy twine, added a bell and glued that down as well.

I really love to match things and  have been so excited to make this project.  Here is a close up of all the goodies that I put inside the basket.

The last thing that I did was made a card that used the SVG cut file which matched the embroidery.  I used Lori’s new Christmas collection called Celebrate Christmas.  The cut file can be found here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette store and is called Look a lot Like Christmas Phrase.
That’s it for me.  Hope that you have a wonderful holiday season.

Hugs,

Anita

Aimee here today to share this adorable snowman card and gift bag set.These 2 svg files are part of the new Christmas files from Lori. She just released a bunch of adorable cards, boxes, advent calendars, and ornaments that are so cute! I created these cute little guys out of the Echo Park Celebrate Winter by Lori! I love this wintery fun collection!This shaped card is so cute and I love that even though it has a round bottom it still stands up straight on it’s own! It measures about 4.25″ both ways so it will fit inside of an A2 envelope.And here is the matching box!

Thanksgiving Turkey Sign with Brandie

Hi there friends! I am sharing the one Thanksgiving related project I was able to finish before all the Christmas crafting begins.

For the sign I used the turkey from the 2 on 12×12 Tag Bag Turkey (SVG, Silhouette) and the Let the Stuffing Begin (SVG).  Papers and embellishments are from the Celebrate Autumn collection by Echo Park.
For the dimension I cut the main body shape, hat, beak, arms, and oval by hand out of cardboard and covered with paper.

 I cut the saying three times out of cardstock then glued them together.


That’s it for me today. I hope you all have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Brandie
