A Groovy Little Mini Camera Tutorial

Hi, fellow crafters!  

There is something magical about creating a mini album that feels like summer in your hands, and this one does exactly that with Lori’s new Echo Park collection, Our Groovy Summer collection. 

The bright pink floral camera box with the cheerful shaker lens filled with tiny colorful embellishments, this little album is bursting with happy vibes.  A little Summer title sets the tone and a playful beaded charm and ribbons add that handmade touch.  It’s a project that makes me instantly smile. 

Start with your camera mini album (SVG, Silhouette).  Cut the box out and then cut your six pages for the inside.  Now for these, I took out the two holes on the side.  Just ungroup and pull those little holes out.  I knew I wanted the album to just be bound with a book ring…so that is why I took them out.  I just took them out of one, then duplicated it so I had six pages.  You can see this is the photos below.

Here is your box and pages.
Fold your box on the score lines.

 

Next, add adhesive and put your box together.
Next, cut the lens out.  I turned this into a shaker lens.  I cut 8 of the rings and one circle for the back.  You want to stack and glue 7 of the rings together, so that you have some depth for your shaker bits and glue to the solid circle.  And on the last ring add a piece of transparency behind it, then fill your shaker (which I forgot to take a photo of) and glue the transparency-topped ring over your shaker. 
 
The adhere your lens to the front on the box and finish embellishing it with some of the fun pieces from the collection.  
Then punch a hole in the upper left corner of your six pages with a hole punch so that you can bind them with a book ring after all your pages are embellished.  Tie a few ribbon pieces and maybe add a cute little charm.
Then just start creating and making this mini your own.  You can see my pages below.
It’s a pretty quick little project and a super groovy collection to create a little mini that feels like bottled sunshine.  I had so much fun bringing it to life.
 

 

 

 

 

In Full Bloom Pop Out Card

 

 

 

 

A2 Pop Out Card-Rectangle (SVG,Silhouette)

Hello! Today I am showing off some of Lori’s new collection In Full Bloom. It worked out beautifully with this fun pop out card.

I made the card adding  a .05 matting to the side and top panel pieces so that the gorgeous flower paper would pop! I then stamped a row of the flowers to the front image piece. I colored the flowers with copics and added a stenciled sky and sentiment and a cute little bee! 

I cut the sun die cut twice and glued together for strength and added to the corner of the image. I stamped Oh Happy Day in the center of the sun.

This is such a pretty card-perfect to send to your BFF!

Here is the card fully extended.

I used the following products from the 

 In Full Bloom Release:

In Full Bloom Collection Kit

In Full Bloom Solids Kit

Sunshine Word and Embossed Sun Small Die Set

Flowers and Daisies Stamp Set

Sending Spring Hugs Stamp Set

You can see the complete release HERE.

Hope you enjoyed this project!

Happy Birthday Pop Up Card Tutorial

Today I’m excited to share a fun birthday project I made using the “Happy Birthday Pop Up Card” file from Lori.


This card is perfect for surprising someone special because honestly, nothing beats receiving a handmade 3D card in the mail!

You can download the file here:

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Open the file in your cutting machine software.

Step 2

Cut all the elements using the correct colors of cardstock. I used 80 lb (216 gsm) cardstock for a sturdy result.

Step 3

Sort all the pieces that belong together so assembly becomes easier (see photo).

Step 4

Glue the cupcake together.

Step 5

Assemble and glue the balloons the right way.

Step 6

Glue the gift boxes together.

Now that everything is assembled, it’s time to put the card together!

Step 7

Fold the white card base as shown in the photo below.

Step 8

Apply glue to the first pop-up tab and attach the first gift.

Step 9

Add glue to tab 2 & 3 and attach the cake and second gift.

Step 10

Take the two white strips and glue them into squares,

Step 11

Now apply glue to the long side of each. Attach the cupcake to the wider piece and the smallest gift to the other one,

Step 12

Apply glue to the bottom of the white block with the gift and attach it to the right side of the card, slightly in front of the right gift.

Step 13

Glue the bottom of the white square behind the cupcake and attach it to the left side of the card, halfway next to the left gift.

Step 14

Attach the balloons to the white card panel with the black strings and the text “It’s your day”.

Step 15

Glue the pop-up card into the folded base card as shown in the photo.

Step 16

Attach the white panel with the balloons to the front of the card.

I hope you love this card as much as I do! The 3D effect really makes it feel like a little celebration in an envelope!

Happy crafting!
