Adorable Grid Pop Up Card Valentine Gnome

At first, I was a little worried about how these new Grid Pop Up Cards would go together, but they are easy peasy, rest assured – just follow Lori’s instructions that are on the mat as you cut the design. They are super simple!  You can find a blog post with instructions for the Grid Pop Up Card SVG files HERE. I will be making lots more of these.

You can find this little guy here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Store.  Make sure to try these out and share them with us on Lori’s page, we would love to see what you are creating.

Thanks for stopping by ~ Cathy

 

Valentine’s Day Box Card with Traci

Hi guys! Traci here and today I have a really cute Valentine’s Day project to share with you! I made a card using one of Lori’s fun cutting files called Box Card Shopping Bag Valentine Dog (SVG, Silhouette). It’s a gift bag with a sweet dog, flowers, and hearts popping out the top. I changed up the colors so the pup looks like my son’s little furball, Tarot. I love the way it turned out and I love this file!

Valentine's Day 3D Puppy Dog Card with Hearts & Flowers

This adorable box card can sit out on a desk, shelf, counter, or side table for display during the holiday.

This 3 dimensional box card can be folded flat and added to an envelope for mailing, or … saved and stored as a thoughtful memento.

There is a little space in between the layers to slide a love note, a fun photo, a gift card, or money. There’s no bottom to the card, so you would need to add a little tape to keep it in place.

Here is what the cutting file looks like. You can make your dog any color you like!

Such a fun and simple project to create for someone you love. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner … time to get crafty with another one of Lori Whitlock’s wonderful cutting files!

Valentine Sticker Tutorial for Cricut Design Space

Today I’m sharing a tutorial for stickers in Cricut Design Space.  Lori has many sticker files in her shop.  I’m showcasing the Valentine Cute Stickers (SVGSilhouette).

Valentine Cute Stickers

To begin, download and upzip your sticker file to your computer.

Open Design Space.

Click on upload on the Canvas screen.

Upload the file under the Image tab.

Then open the file onto your canvas.

The file comes in at this size.  Notice the 7.07″ x 9.94″ size.

 

Make sure your file is selected and select Flatten.

 

At this point, you will notice a warning exclamation mark.

 

This is because of the size of the project.

Select the stickers and resize them until it is smaller than 6.75″ x 9.25″.

This is what the stickers look like on the make screen.  Select Continue.

I like to select printer settings on the Use System Dialogue screen.  Select that option. Select print settings and paper settings for your printer.  And print.

Now it’s time to cut.  I’m using the Cricut Explore 2.  If you have Cricut Sticker paper, making sure to select Custom on the dial and select Sticker Paper for the material.

I have some Avery Project Sticker paper.  It isn’t as thick as the Cricut Sticker paper.  My first sheet of stickers cut all the way through the paper with the Sticker Paper material selection.  So I selected Iron on to get the kiss cut for my second sheet.

This is the kiss cut.

These are my first stickers.

If you want smaller stickers, resize your project to the desired size.

Here I duplicated the sticker sheet and resized it smaller.  Select both sheets and select attach.  This will cut the stickers on one page rather than separating the 2 smaller sheets on 2 pages.

Now you are ready to cut all sorts of stickers.  Pick some up during the sale this week.

Adorable 4×6 Vertical Mini Album with Pockets and Tags

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the Lori Whitlock blog to share a mini-album I made using the Farmer’s Market collection that Lori designed for Echo Park Paper Co. I used the 4×6 Vertical Mini Album with Pockets & Tags (SVGSilhouette) to make the mini-album. The album was easy to put together and can be decorated with your favorite stickers and embellishments to make the project pop.

 
 
The project includes four pockets and tags as well as four rectangular pieces that can be used to frame your photos on the back of each pocket. You can easily include a picture on the front and back of each tag. I added an extra piece of cardstock to my tags for more color along with a few embellishments.
 

Until next time,

Michelle, aka the Bookish Designer

 

 
 

 

Christmas Mini Album

Hi Friends! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas that was warm and safe! Today I am sharing one of the mini albums from the Fabulous Mini Album Bundle (SVGSilhouette). I haven’t made a December daily album for a few years because they are always so much work and I never seem to be done. So, I decided to scale it down a lot and just make a mini album. Less work, less pressure, but still so fun and cute! I just need to add my pictures and journaling.

 
All of the papers, stickers, and embellishments are from The Magic of Christmas collection by Echo Park Paper Co.
Thanks for stopping by today!
