Happy Birthday Cards! Tutorial

Hello!  Sue here to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day!
 
For my tutorial today I am making several easy print and cut birthday cards from Lori’s fun birthday card bundles. I want to make them all! 
 

 

This really is a fun card!!!
Here you can see the front pieced element. I chose to cut an additional bottom layer to the packages in pink to make the  presents pop more and give it a bit more reinforcement so I could add it to the front with an action wobbler .  I used  the Lori Whitlock’s  Life is Beautiful 6×6 paper pad.
The inside piece is a print and cut. Fold it in half with the sentiment inside
This part is a bit tricky. Its a mountain/valley  sort of thing LOL! What I did to make it real easy is to fold the center back the other way and then from the back pinch each section to crease them. 
Here you can see how the insert looks when folded and ready to add to the card.
 
Glue one side of the insert inside, making sure you align those 5 small folds right at the cardbase fold line. Add glue to the second side and close the card onto the glued insert.
All glued and ready to go!
Both cards are part of the Fabulous Birthday Card Bundle.
 
You can see all the bundles on Lori’s site.

This was a fun one!
I used Lori Whitlock A Slice of Summer papers for the balloons.
I have made several of these cuties. I cut on six/seven different 6×6 papers and cut ALL the balloons out of each color. Then I’m just playing mixy match for each cards.
Glue the balloons on the back of the print and cut and then flip and glue to the card base. It is very pretty to see in person, it has a nice dimension to it!

Valentine Birdhouse Tutorial

Hello Crafty Friends, today I want to share a Valentine themed Birdhouse I made using the Double Decker Birdhouse from the Lori Whitlock 5 Birdhouse Set (SVG).
The original file has one bird but I wanted to add another bird to make them look like love birds, so to start off with I copy & pasted the bird. Then I horizontally flipped the bird so that it was facing the original.
I did the same with the bird on the branch, then I used the knife tool to make 2 cuts to separate the bird from the branch. I then deleted the branch & used only the bird to cut.
After cutting all my pieces on my Silhouette Cameo & put together my birds onto the branch. You will need to trim the excess branch from the back panel of the extra bird we created before glueing him onto the main branch.
Next I took the larger part of the house which is the bottom & glued the side flaps together.
Once these were dry I proceeded to glue down the roof first by glueing down the bigger piece then following the smaller roof piece on top.
Next I took the smaller bird house & glued the side flaps together. Then I glued it down onto the bottom half of the birdhouse that we have already put together. Once this was dry I finished off by glueing the 3 roof panels starting from the largest on the bottom.
Lastly I embellished my Birdhouse with some die cuts, stickers & paper roses.
Isn’t it the sweetest!

Valentine Rainbow Box Card Tutorial

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial for one of the new Valentines box cards. You can find the bundle here. I made the 5×7 Box Card Valentine Rainbow (SVG, Silhouette). This card would be really easy to customize too. The sentiment is a print and cut and could be swapped out for a birthday, new baby, anniversary, or left off completely.

The papers and stickers come from the Valentines Day collection by Echo Park Paper Co. Once I had everything cut out, I inked the edges of the pieces for added depth. I also added some white highlights to my ballons with a white paint pen. I then glued the colored paper on the inside front card for the heart arch. Starting the with the largest arch I glued the rainbow down to the front of the box card body. This box card only has one insert. I glued the ballons first, then the banner, last the flowers. I didn’t cut the flower middles opting instead for some enamel dots.

I folded the tabs into valley folds and added the glue to the back of the right tab. The right tab is lined up with the inside score line of the box card body. I then added glue to the back of the left tab, folded the left side of the box card over on top of the glued tab, then added glue to the tab of the box card and folded the front of the card over.

I added a couple of stickers to the front of the box card from the collection.

This card is so pretty and a fun way to show someone you care. Yay love!

Snowflake Lace Album Tutorial

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a winter mini album that I made with one of Lori’s amazing cutting files called Snowflake Lace (SVG, Silhouette). I used it to create the front and back covers and a few pretty pages inside. I love its intricate design and it made such a beautiful little scrapbook!

 

Snowflake Lace Winter Scrapbook Mini Album by Artsy Albums

 

First, I’ll explain how I created the covers, then we can take a look inside.

 

To start, I resized the Snowflake Lace cutting file to 6×6
inches and duplicated it for a front and back cover.


Since I wanted my back cover to be solid, I removed the
lace from the second shape. To do this, I highlighted the shape, right
clicked, and hit release compound path. 

To start, I resized the Snowflake Lace cutting file to 6×6 and duplicated the file for a front and back cover.


I wanted my back cover to be solid, so I needed to remove the
lace in the second shape. To do this I highlighted the shape, right
clicked, and hit release compound path.  

 

Now the outside square is removed from the lace snowflakes. I
deleted the design and kept the newly created solid back cover. Then I cut
both pieces out of white acrylic, but … you could easily use white card stock or chipboard instead.

 

In the file, there is a perfect spot in the lace for the binding ring to go through. You’ll need to punch a hole in the solid back cover if you’re using card stock or chipboard.

 

Once the covers were done, I cut the inside pages out of white card stock. I cut 6 solid pages and 2 lace pages. Since the design is a bit intricate, I set the machine to cut
“heavy textured card stock” with 2 passes. Now … time to decorate!

Isn’t this lace cover so pretty?!! I added some die cuts, a few sparkling jewels, and a title from the Doodlebug Design, Winter Wonderland Collection.

Inside, I covered each of the white pages with pattern papers, photo mats, stickers, and more die cuts.

Here, I created a fold-out page and added a photo mat on the front flap with a ski lift die cut piece.

Open that fold-out and there’s a cute pocket inside with a fun snowman flip-up card on the front. I added a die cut in the pocket for journaling but extra photos can also be saved here.

This is one of the pretty lace pages that I cut from cardstock. I love it. I added a photo mat to the front and back side. It’s such a beautiful way to highlight your winter photos.

On this pocket page, I used another one of Lori’s cutting files to create the cute scalloped circle mat.

The cutting file is called 4 Scalloped Circles (SVG, Silhouette) and includes the scalloped circle and the plain circle in the center.

I had so much fun creating this winter mini album with Lori’s Snowflake Lace cutting file. The delicate pattern is so lovely and it made such unique album covers and pages. 


I hope you’ll try this project. It could be made with any paper collection and would also make a wonderful Christmas scrapbook. Until next time, happy scrappin’!
