3D School Bouquet on a Layout

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay (@lindsayslayouts), and today I’m sharing a Lori Whitlock design that I’ve used on a layout. The 3D school bouquet (svg, silhouette) makes the perfect card. It has plenty of wow factor. But have you ever considered using it on a scrapbook layout? I decided to flatten it a bit and use it on a back to school page. I cut the design on papers from the Back to School collection from Lori for Echo Park.

This is the original file, shown as a 3d card.

I cut a few extra flowers to add as embellishments. I assembled the bouquet, inking the edges and using plenty of foam adhesive to add dimension to the layers. Then I added 4 photos that are 3×4″ or 4×3″.

Grab those back to school photos and create a layout today! Thanks for stopping by!

5×7 Shaped Card Flower Cluster turned Layout

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay, sharing a layout that I created using the 5×7 Shaped Card Flower Cluster (svg, silhouette). I combined bright, colorful cardstock with the “Here Comes the Sun” collection, designed by Lori for Echo Park. I am a layout girl at heart. When I saw the outer offset shape of this card, I just knew it would be the perfect layered border. Let me show you how I did it!

I started by opening the project in Design Space. I changed the card height to 6″, and the width automatically adjusted. Then I created a second copy of the entire card. I welded the base card pieces together (bottom of one card to the top of the other card), making one long 12″ piece, and then I sliced off the back panel of the card. If that sounds too complicated, just cut the card twice, remove the back panels (on the other side of the fold) and hide the seam. Because I used striped paper, I could easily camouflage a cut line. Then, I cut all of the florals 3 times with various colors of coordinating cardstock. Two sets will be used on the offset card panel, and an additional flower cluster will be used to accent my photos.

Next, I assembled all of the flowers. I inked the edges and then used foam adhesive for some of the layers.

Now it’s time to add the florals onto the large offset and create the layout. I used the red grid paper as my background piece. The blue waves paper is 5″x 12″. I added a 1″ yellow accent strip before adhering my floral piece. I added a 5.5″x 8.5″ piece of blue waves paper behind the photos. My photos measure 3″x 4″ (2) and 3″x 3″. At the corner of the photo piece, I added the third floral cluster. I finished off the page with some stickers, the title card and enamel dots. I am so happy with the end result!

Here is a closer look at the beautiful accent border.

I hope this layout has inspired you to think creatively about all of the files you see on Lori’s site. Most can be modified to be amazing accents on scrapbook layouts. Thanks for stopping by today. Happy crafting! — Lindsay

5×5 Mini Album in a Box

Hi ladies! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a super cute mini album with a video tutorial. I’ll walk you through how I made this scrapbook using one of Lori’s amazing cutting files. It’s a fun project that’s perfect for photos of spring, family, friends, St. Patrick’s Day, and fun every day memories!

 

Since my Lori Whitlock and Doodlebug Design Team Projects fell on the same day, I combined their products to create this happy and colorful keepsake. I used Lori’s 5×5 Album with Box File (SVG, Silhouette) and Doodlebug’s cute Lucky Me Collection.

 

The cut file makes a box and a mini album that fits perfectly inside. I cut the base out of white cardstock, then decorated it with lots of 12×12 pattern papers and fun embellishments.

 


I made this with a spring theme but you could use ANY collection and create it for Easter, Mother’s Day, a birthday, summer, etc. What a great gift idea, and … it comes with it’s own box, lol!

 


The album is a perfect size. At 5×5 inches, it’s not too big, not too small … but just right for pictures of a fun event, family, friends, or baby pics. I’m thinking cute mom / grandma’s brag book!

 


Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided). I covered them in bright and cheerful 12×12 pattern papers, then added lots of cute die cuts, colorful enamel dots, and photo mats. 

Here are a few more pages …

I hope you like this fun mini album and it inspires you to create one too with Lori’s 5×5 Album with Box File (SVG, Silhouette). Have a great day and happy scrapping! 😊

12×12 Heart Background Page

Hello, crafty friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a 12×12 scrapbook layout that’s perfect for your Valentine’s Day photos. I created it with one of Lori’s gorgeous cutting files called Square Background Set 2 (SVG, Silhouette). It’s filled with the cutest heart cutouts and ohhhh, how I love it!

I used the file to create the beautiful white heart border / background. Then, I added square photo mats made from pattern papers and embellishments from Doodlebug’s Lots of Love Collection.

To make it, I started with a sheet of 12×12 red Bazzill cardstock as the base. I cut Lori’s file out of white cardstock and a blue pattern by Doodlebug called Buffalo Check and Woodgrain in the swimming pool color.

Next, I layered the white paper on top of the base cardstock. I love how the red shows through the cutouts. But for a little more color, I glued the little blue hearts from my second cut all around the edge.

The heart cutouts are perfect for my Valentine page and I love how they can be customized. You could make all of the hearts different colors or every other heart a different color.  

Here’s what the file looks like …

So gorgeous! And it’s definitely not just for Valentines Day – hearts can be used for anything! With a different paper collection, you could use this file for birthday, wedding, family, pets, etc. The possibilities are endless!

Lori has lots of amazing background cutting files in her shop and they’re so fun to create with. I hope today’s layout inspires you to use one in your next project. Thanks for stopping by the blog and happy scrapping!
