Christmas Pop Up Box Cards with Kathy

September 19, 2016September 16, 2016

Hi Everyone it’s Kathy with you today! You asked, you waited… and now for a sneak peek at two of the newest Christmas Themed Pop Up Box Cards! Take a peek…

We’ve had so many requests for these and starting TOMORROW, there will be a whole bunch of new Christmas Themed Pop Up Box Cards in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Store. I was lucky and got to play with these in advance of their release! Here are some close-ups…

I used the new I Love Christmas from Echo Park for this Pop Up Box Card Mug. I just love the wood grain paper!

The Pop Up Box Card Snowman was put together using the new I Love Winter from Echo Park. I just love snowmen!! They make me happy! Both of these cards along with a few more will be part of tomorrow’s new release. In addition, we just might be having a giveaway for all the new Holiday Pop Up Box Cards from this release, so make sure to check the Lori Whitlock Facebook Page, and Instagram account later this week to enter to win! That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Custom Wedding Card with Courtney

September 8, 2016September 7, 2016

It’s Courtney Lee from Court’s Crafts here! For this card I used three cut files, embossed, and did a little stamping. 🙂

I arranged the cut files on my screen so that they would be appropriately placed and colored according to my patterned paper I was using.

I had to rearrange the words so that they all fit on my background and then I switched them to “write” instead of cut.

Lastly I “attached” them all to the background cut so that it would cut and write together.

For the front of the card I used the Flourish Frame Set and sized it to take up the whole front of the card. Then I cut everything out.

I embossed the front of the card to give the black background a little “punch” and elegance.

I felt like it needed a little “dressing up”. Stamps and enamel dots to the rescue! 🙂

I stamped the flower decor onto the cake in a matching pink. Then I stamped the bird onto the tux with watermark ink and I stamped the heart flourish onto the dress and used embossing powder to set it and to bring the grey from the background onto the dress.

Check out how awesomely these stamp!

That is it! I really designed the whole thing on my computer and just cut it out and put it together. I love that. Because I can design it anywhere (like while watching a movie) and then I just whip it out!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today and it inspires you to combine multiple cut files into something even better!

Hot Air Balloon Pop Up Box Card with Courtney

August 22, 2016August 18, 2016

Hey Lori Whitlock fans! This is Courtney Lee from Court’s Crafts and I am here with the new Let’s Be Mermaids collection by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park AND one of her new pop up box cards – the hot air balloon one.

…. soooooo who says that hot air balloons have to be in the air? If I were a mermaid I would want to have hot air balloons in the ocean. 😉 I used my Cricut Air to write “Thank You” with the pen feature. It makes life so easy!

Okay… so I may have gotten a little sparkle enamel dot happy… I LOVE these enamel dots! They are so so so sparkly!

Here is an “arial” shot of it. 🙂 Do you like how I did that? Arial shot? It’s like “from above” hot air balloon style AND like Ariel from that Disney movie. 😉

Pick up some of these pop up box cards! They are so much fun. I would be embarrassed to tell you how many I have…. 😉 Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a beautiful day!

Tote Organizer with Corri

August 18, 2016August 17, 2016

Hi everyone! Corri here today to share an assembly tutorial for the new Tote Organizer that Lori recently added to her SVG Shop.

This little tote could be used for so many gift ideas. I used mine to old some crayons and markers.

This would be so cute for party favors or a small birthday gift. You could stick a gift card to the craft store for a sketch pad or more art supplies.

When you cut out the pieces, this is what you will have.

To create the tote, fold the base pieces along the score lines and apply glue to glue tabs to form the boxes.

Glue the two pieces back to back to form the tote handle. The two additional pink pieces are cover panels to hide the seam and add stability to your tote.
