Summer Magnetic Bookmarks with Lori Whitlock SVG Cutting Files

Hello friends! Aimee here with a tutorial on making some fun Summer magnetic bookmarks! My daughter is a voracious reader so every Summer I get her a handful of books to read over Summer break. This year I thought I would make her some bookmarks to go with those books.

Lori has a lot of fun and cute Summer files to choose from. I chose Popsicle (Lori’s shop, Silhouette Store) , Ice Cream Cone ( Silhouette Store), and Watermelon Shaped Card (Lori’s shop, Silhouette Store).

I opened the 3 Popsicles file to show you how to take a cut and make it into a fold over bookmark.

To get the basic shape of the popsicle, I opened the Trace option and highlighted the shape and clicked on “trace outer edge”. That will give me the entire shape of the popsicle to create the base of the bookmark.

Then I duplicated the shape, flipped the one vertically, aligned it with one above the other, and then welded both pieces together. After I cut that piece out, all I have to do is fold it in half and add the decorative top layer.

If you would rather try your hand out with something a little easier you could always use one of Lori’s card svg files.

Now comes the easiest part of this tutorial and that’s adding magnetic strips to the insides of the bookmarks. I have a roll of sticky back magnetic strips so I just cut a couple of pieces off and added them to each one.

And now comes the funnest part of this tutorial and that’s decorating each bookmark.

I used some stickers and die cuts from Lori’s new I Love Summer collection to make my bookmarks pretty! That’s all from me today! Hope everyone is having a great Summer!

Father’s Day Shadow Box Card with Ashley

Today I’m sharing with you a Shadow Box Canoe Card that you can use for a Father’s Day Card.

You can find this in Lori’s Shop and at Silhouette.

I have some tips for this card if you are using Cricut Design space.  When you open this file, the envelope is just slightly too big for the 11.5″ cutting space in Cricut Design Space. To remedy this, you will want to select all the pieces and just resize them a little.

After you have resized, ungroup and select just the envelope to make sure it is under 11.5″.  If not regroup all the pieces and try resizing a bit more.

I edited the file a bit further.  I recolored the covering panels since I wanted them the same paper as the frame panel.

After cutting all the pieces I started assembling.  Lori has a video tutorial here that can help you with the hidden binding.  I decided to add a few touches.  I added an orange and blue paper behind the canoe to give a little different look.  I also inked the greenery in the front of the card.  I used Lori’s paper line with Echo Park called Summer Adventure.

The back of the card is where you glue a panel to include a notecard.

And folded flat, this card fits into the envelope.

Have a great day!

Flower Card with Brandie

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a cute flower card I made with the Shaped Card Flower 1 file. (SVG, Silhouette). This card comes together very easily and can be cut in any color to reflect the time and season.

I added a few extras to the base file of this card.  I cut the petals three times in concentric layers and the flower center twice. I then stitched through the petals for added texture and detail.

This card will defiantly brighten someone’s day. Thanks for stopping by today!
