Sizzix Woodland Animal Party with Lori Whitlock Dies

Hello everyone! Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here with a fun party idea. This one would be perfect for both boys and girls. And since it’s a “woodland theme” you could host this party indoors or out. I used Lori’s adorable dies from Sizzix for this one. And I also used some of her patterned paper that she designed for Echo Park. Let’s get this party started!

 

Here are some close up shots of my little party! I just love the Sizzix Bigz Die Owl. It’s so adorable. I added some of the Petticoats and Pinstripes patterned paper to the wings. I also used the Framelits coordinating dies and stamps to make the cupcake toppers.

 

The Sizzix Bigz Die Fox is another adorable part of the party. I added more of the patterned paper and used the enamel dots for the eyes and nose.

Be sure to add more fun sentiments to some juice bottles.

The kiddos would love seeing them on their drinks.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my fun little party idea today. Be sure to check out Lori’s Sizzix dies, they’re a lot of fun to work with!

Disney Themed Box Card with Karin

20160418-_MG_5122-Edit

Someone in my Cricut group was asking if it would be possible to create a Disney themed box card. I answered that yes, you could take one of the box card designs from Lori Whitlock’s All Occasion Box Cards cartridge and then use images from a Disney cartridge to modify the box card and make anything you want.

In my video below, I show you exactly how you would do this. With the Cricut Explore and Design Space, you can literally make whatever you want. In the video, I used a Cricut cartridge, but you could also use SVG files or images from JPG files that you would print then cut and use in your box card.

I would love to see what you come up with. Leave comments below with your ideas.

 

3D Letter and Ornate Gatefold Card with Tya

Hi everyone – it’s Tya and I am so happy to share with you all a few of my favorite new cut files from Lori Whitlock. With Mother’s Day (and my Mom’s Birthday) around the corner – I thought I would get a jump start on my gift giving with this fun set.

These files were just what I was looking for. I used the Petticoats line that Lori designed for Echo Park. I love the floral, feminine feel to this line. And aren’t the colors lovely? Let me give you a closer look:

First up is this beautiful card. I used the 5×7 Ornate Gatefold Card (Silhouette) (LW SVG). I love how I was able to use one of the 4×6 cards found in the Petticoat papers for the perfect sentiment. I used some stickers from the collection as well as some jewels and washi tape to decorate the card.

 I have been so looking forward to using one of Lori’s new 3D Letters. They are so slick to put together!! Only 2 tabs on the top and bottom are all you need. I used the letter “L” (Silhouette) (LW SVG)  for my mom’s name – Leisa. She can place this on her desk at work. I also added one of Lori’s new 3D Flowers (Silhouette) (LW SVG)  to decorate it. She always does the most beautiful job on these flowers. So realistic looking!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope I have inspired you to pick up these fun new files and give these projects a try. Happy Crafting!
