Hey there! Did you get a chance to check out the new releases yesterday? I’m so excited about the three new 8×8 shadowbox SVG files that I designed! There’s something for every season:
Using foam dots between layers adds wonderful depth to each design, making them not only enjoyable to assemble but also a striking addition to your home decor. Also, the file includes the die line for the 8×8 shadowbox. However, if you have a wooden frame or something else that you would like to use, you can resize the insert layers as desired. And, don’t forget: ALL new releases are 25% OFF until Sunday at midnight! Do any of these designs catch your eye?
Sincerely,
Lori
Happy 4th of July! Traci here and I hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating with loved ones. Today, I have a new USA Mini Album to share with you that I created with one of Lori’s amazing cutting files. It captures the spirit of freedom and patriotism and it’s a great place to save your fun holiday photos.
First … let’s take a quick look through the album, then I’ll explain exactly how I made it’s cute cover so you can create one too!
I chose Lori’s cutting file called USA Accordion Fold Card for the cover’s design. I cut it out of white acrylic, but you could easily use white cardstock instead.
I decorated the album with the Echo Park, Stars and Stripes Forever Collection which was also designed by Lori. It’s fabulous! There are American flags, fireworks, stars, flowers, pinwheels, and balloons.
Inside, the album has 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that include 1 pocket, 2 fold-out pages, and 3 fun interactive flippies.
I used a mix of 12×12 and 6×6 pattern papers throughout the pages.
I added a pocket and some fun die cut pieces from the Ephemera and Frames & Tags.
I love this print with the little red, white, and blue flowers. It’s such a cute pattern for the holiday!
I also added some stickers from the 12×12 Elements sheet. There are lots of great sayings, Uncle Sam’s hat (above), a red pick-up truck, a jar of flowers, cupcakes, and a scallop border.
Isn’t this Stars and Stripes Forever Collection that Lori created great?! I just love it.
Below is the cutting file I used to create the album’s cover. You can find the file here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Store.
And, here’s how I made it …
Step 1: Be sure to group both sets of USA letters together before resizing so that the insets will fit into the background after resizing. Once resized, ungroup the 2 sets of USA letters. Then you will need to delete the tiny score lines on the welded USA. To do this, right click and hit Release Compound Path (depending on your software you may need to hit make compound path first). Once you have the tiny score lines highlighted, delete them. Highlight the remaining pieces, right click and hit make compound path to set your welded USA cover correctly.
Step 2: Select both sets of letters, right click, and group them together again.
Step 3: Create a back cover for your album by selecting a rectangle under drawing tools. I sized my back cover to 8” x 5”. Once I had my back cover, I placed it behind my group of USA letters.
Step 4: Since I wanted my welded USA cover to be the same height as my back cover, I highlighted both sets and pulled the bottom curser down to stretch the cover to 5” high.
Step 5: Once I had my front and back covers the same size, I ungrouped the USA sets and cut everything out. Don’t forget to punch binding holes and make as many pages (sized like the back cover) as you want!
Lori has so many great SVG files to play with and I hope you’ll give this USA Accordion Fold Card a try. Have a safe and fun July 4th weekend and happy scrappin’ my friends!
Happy Monday! These 90 degree temps have me thinking of the best way to cool off and what a better way than popsicles!
I made 3 cards this week to cool off with.
First, I used the shaped card popsicle (SVG, Silhouette) I used some fun glitter paper on this card which I popped up with some dimensionals. I finished it off with the cute little You’re So Cool tag tied on with some bakers twine.
Next, I used the popsicle gift card holder (SVG, Silhouette). With the 4th of July coming up this week, I had to make it look like a Bomb Pop (aka Firecracker). I also popped the red, white and blue and added the You’re The Bomb tag with some bakers twine.
Lastly, I used the 3 popsicles (SVG, Silhouette) file but only used the one with the bite. I popped my pink paper to reveal the white ice cream filling and finished it off with the You Make Me Melt tag with some bakers twine.
Hi everyone! Seems summer is flying by and the 4th of July is just around the corner. Today, I created one of Lori’s box cards, which are my all time favorite to make. This is Lori’s Vintage Bug Box Card. I just used her new Echo Park Collection to create it, Stars and Stripes Forever.
You can find the file here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Store
So many fun elements to this file! And I love being able to add all the fun embellishments from the collection pack!
Thanks for joining us today and have a Happy and Safe 4 th of July!
