4th of July Firecracker with Anita

Anita here today with a tutorial on how to make Lori’s 3D Firecracker.  You can find this file in her SVG shop here and here in the Silhouette Store.  I also used some parts of the 5X7 Box Card July 4th to add to the embellishments of my project.  You can find that file  here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Store.  I love to mix and match Lori’s Echo Park collections on my projects and used I Love Winter and Go See Explore.

Here are the materials that I used for my project.

The firecracker wick is perforated so that you can fold the wick into a small square and then put it through the hole.

Next you are going to fold the tabs back and glue them to the inside of the cover of the tube.

Here is what is looks like from the front.

Next, fold down the tabs on the cover piece and glue them to one of the circles.  One of the extra red circles gets glued to the inside of the top to hide the tabs and glue.

Here is a photo of the Stickles that I put on the edges of the wick.

Repeat the process for the tube body.  This photo shows the red circle inside and I love the finished look.

Here is a close up photo of the embellishments.  I used the 4th of July circle from the box card.

That’s it for me today.  This is so cute and you can fill it with candy or leave it empty and on your table for a holiday centerpiece.

Hugs,

Anita

 


Violets Card with Courtney

Hello!! This is Courtney Lee from Court’s Crafts here and while I am well aware that this says Happy Mother’s Day and that the day is past – you can EASILY make this card to say “happy birthday”, “thank you”, “with sympathy”, “just sayin’ hi” or “hello friend” etc. I decided to cut this file “as is” so that you could see the beautiful font!

Isn’t this lovely?! The depth of flowers is gorgeous!


I decided to use rhinestones for the center of the flowers and used papers from the Go, See, Explore line (green) and the Let’s Be Mermaid’s line (yellow and purple) – both are collections by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park Paper.

I hope you enjoyed my project for today and that you grab this box for so much more than just  Mother’s Day! This one can be brought out again and again!

Sending Hugs by Lezlye

Welcome to Lori’s Blog! The place for inspiration and tutorials for her amazing files that she creates so generously for us to use.  Today I have an encouragement/feel better card for a friend.  I used the Shaped Box Card Teapot file and the Center Box Card Envelope file.

For papers, I used Echo Park’s Celebrate Easter and Celebrate Spring Collections. As an afterthought I should have coordinated my floral patterns!  🙂

I chose to use pearls in my flower centers instead of the little dots of paper included with the file.   It is nice to add dimensional elements to your cuts. These card go together pretty quickly.

I decided to emboss the scallop pieces to resemble enamel using Versa-mark and white embossing powder and heat. It gives a nice, shiny appearance.

And the finished card folds flat for mailing!




Now to just throw in a few teabags and mail it off!  Have a wonderful day!

Confirmation Stand Up Card

 

Anita here with a really easy card to make that comes with an envelope and is stunning.  It is called 3D Stand Up Card: Easter Cross and you can find it here in Lori’s Silhouette Store.  It is perfect for all those first communions and confirmations that usually happen this time of year.  This is for my nephew who made his confirmation on Saturday.  I used Lori’s brand new Echo Park line called Go.  See.  Explore. to create the card.  I also used some letters from the I Love Family Alpha Sticker Set and used some of her brads from the I Love Winter and Go.  See.  Explore lines and an enamel on the card from the Go.  See.  Explore collections also.  Lori’s collections all mix and match so you are able to combine papers and embellishments from various collections to achieve the look you desire.

Here is a close up of the card.

The cut file to make the envelope is part of this set and so easy to put together.

I used a sticker from Lori’s Echo Park I Love Family collection to seal the envelope closed.  That’s it for me today.  Be sure to check out Lori’s store and her Silhouette Store for all your spring and summer card and gift needs.

Hugs,

Anita
