It’s Lorri Nunmaker, and I’m so excited to be a guest on LoriWhitlock.com. I was a part of the Lori Whitlock design team for a couple of years, and was so excited to be offered a guest blog post. Lori’s products have always been super inspiring!
Today, I am happy to share with you a tutorial for this “Bee Happy” card. When I started thinking about what I would like to create for this post, I instantly knew I wanted to use the Lori Whitlock “Fine and Dandy” paper line for Echo Park Paper, which led me to this card.
I created this card in Cricut Design Space, and then cut the card base and elements with my Cricut Explore. I just love how the papers went with this theme. Here’s a video tutorial for the card set up in Design Space. Have a great day!
I used the Happy Summer Collection from Echo Park for the papers and stickers. I did change the card a little to suit my needs, first I added the heart and letter stickers to the front for the “label”, and I added a pocket to the back of the card to hold a gift card (the pocket was taken from the Apple Gift Card Holder)
The card really goes together easily. If you need some guidance, check out Lori’s Box Card Video here. That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
I brought the SVG file into Cricut Design Space and cut out all the pieces with my Cricut Explore. I added the “YOU ARE MY STAR” pieces and the little blue star from the element stickers. It was super quick to make and I had a card ready for Father’s Day.
Hi everyone! Happy Memorial Day! It’s Tya up on the blog today! I am loving all the new files that Lori has came out with lately. I had a really hard time choosing what to highlight. I decided to show the new Scallop Handle Chapstick Purse – isn’t it adorable?
I was so excited to use the new Happy Summer line that Lori designed for Echo Park. The papers and embellishments were just the right touch for this fun cut file. I did 3 of the purses and these would be wonderful to have on hand for little gifts to give a special someone. I found this yummy mango flavored Chapstick that reminded me of summer too. Here are some close ups of the purses.
I loved the way they latched nice and easy and the holder on the inside has 2 little flaps on the edges to keep the Chapstick in nice and tight.
Hopefully I have inspired you to snatch up this adorable design. I love how fun and girly it is. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek today – Happy Crafting!
Hi everyone! It’s Traci, from Artsy Albums, and I’m excited to be on Lori’s blog today to share some fun projects using her Sizzix dies. As you know, Lori designs fabulous cutting files for our digital cutting machines, and creates beautiful paper collections for Echo Park. She also designs wonderful dies for Sizzix! For crafters who don’t have a digital cutting machine, or who want to cut heavier materials like chipboard, these are so much fun!
I used several different dies and stamps to create a sweet tea party set for a little girl. I’ve added links below so you can get all of the details. The papers and embellishments are from the Petticoats collection that Lori designed for Echo Park.
Before you can have a tea party, you have to invite some friends. I used Lori’s Sizzix Bigz Teapot die to create my invitation. To create a card, I folded my white card stock and cut the shape out with my fold positioned to the right of the handle’s cut line. This prevented that area of the handle from cutting and allowed the fold to stay in tact. I then cut two more teapots to add to the front, and inside, of the card.
I created a thank-you card using several of the dies and a stamp from the Jar and Teapot Framelit set and finished my set with a cute little mini album. The Cupcake #2 Bigz die was perfect for this since I wanted to cut several pieces of thick chipboard. After cutting the cupcake out of pattern paper also, I glued the page pieces together and punched a hole in one side for a binding ring. A little ribbon and a lot of enamel dots finished off my mini in no time.
I hope you visit some of the links I’ve included to learn more about Lori’s wonderful designs over at Sizzix.com, and stop by my blog at Artsy Albums sometime and say hello!
