Birthday Candle Card Tutorial with Courtney

Hello everyone! This is Courtney Lee from Court’s Crafts here with a tutorial on this super cute Birthday Candle Card that I made for my mom!

Here are the pieces all cut out. I went ahead and had the Cricut write the sentiment on my white layer to save time.

 

I glued all of the pieces together and popped the flames onto the candle tops.

 

I popped all of the candles so that they would have some depth.

 

I decided to use the background stamp that is part of the Perfect Princess collection by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.

 

Isn’t it fun? It may be my new favorite background stamp.

 

I stitched around the edge for some extra character.

 

I finished it off by adding stickles to the hearts and Glossy Accents to the candles.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial for today!

Baby Insta-Cube Card

Anita here with a card that Lori created that is just so easy to put together and will have the recipients saying, “oooh and aaaah.”  I used Lori’s new cut file called Insta-Cube Card Baby which you can find here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Store.  She has other designs of this adorable box card and  a fabulous tutorial which shows you how easily assemble the files.  Here is the link to the tutorial on Lori’s YouTube Channel.  For papers,  I used Lori’s new Echo Park Collection called Perfect Princess.

Here is the box with the card most of the way out.

When you pull the card all the way out of the box it pops into a cube.  You will have to watch the tutorial to see the secret on how this pops open on its own.

Here is the second side of the cube.

That’s it for me today.  Thanks for looking and have a great week.

Hugs,

Anita

Bridal Shower Card with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with a fun and quick card I made for a recent bridal shower.  I used one of Lori’s older cards, the Wedding Dress Card (available here in the Silhouette Store )  Take a peek…

The best thing about this card is that it is so easy to customize.  It comes with multiple pieces for the wedding dress including a full dress as well as a separate top and bottom, so you could use different colors or textures if you wish.    I used the full dress piece and ran it through my Sizzix with an embossing folder to give it a lacy texture. I also added a ribbon and enamel dots. The background paper is from the Lori’s new Perfect Princess collection for Echo Park Paper.   It coordinated perfectly with the bride’s color scheme!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

 

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!
