Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend – Mother’s Day projects by Tya

Hi everyone – it’s Tya here to share with you 2 super fun cut files from Lori Whitlock. I decided with Mother’s Day being just around the corner that I would get a jump start on my gifts – so I wanted to share with you what I did! My mom is very crafty and creative and I tell people I inherited my creative gene from her so I know that she appreciates anything hand made, so finding a card and gift box for her was something I knew I wanted to do. Plus if you will notice a little theme running with my projects with the Diamonds – they are a girls best friend after all right?

This last week Lori put out some amazing new fun fold cards and I was so excited to try the Double Diamond Fold card out. I loved all the different pattern papers from the Echo Park Jill collection by that I got use on this card. Definitely one I will be using again!

I also kept with the diamond theme and used the Necklace Box to hold a little sparkly necklace for my Mom. Darling box that was the perfect size to hold a necklace and some earrings in.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting the blog today! Hopefully I have inspired you to try out one of Lori’s new cards and to make something special for that special lady in your life. Have a great week everyone!

Here Comes the Bride with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with some adorable wedding favors from Lori’s Shop!  A very close friend just shared that she’s engaged, and I couldn’t be happier!  I decided to make her a little something to celebrate the happy news, and Lori’s Wedding Favor Boxes were perfect!  (in the Silhouette Store:  Groom, Bride ) Take a peek…

These boxes are so simple to put together, and they each hold a few chocolate kisses or other similar sized candies.   You can keep them simple or add lots of embellishments to fit your style.  I added some shaped sequins for flowers, and some colored pearls to match my ribbon.  You could use these for a bridal shower, as wedding favors or just as a little “I’m so happy for you” gift!  Well, that’s it for me today, thanks so much for stopping by!

Easter Place Cards with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with some festive place cards to help decorate your Easter table!

I used Lori’s Bracket Tent Card as my base. With my Silhouette sketch pens, I added names to each card using Lori’s Cheerful Sketch Font.  I’m very proud of myself…I’ve never used the pens before, and it really was much easier than I thought!  Finally I decorated each card using the new Easter sets (In Silhouette Store:  set 1, set 2, set 3; In Lori’s SVG Shop:  Easter Icons ).  They are just so cute!!  Here are some close-ups…

I think they will really brighten up our table!  That’s it for me today, thanks so much for stopping by!

Valentine Card + Treat Box with Traci

Hi Lori fans…It’s Traci and I’m back to share a Valentine gift set with you today.  With Christmas behind me, I’m getting a head start on my Valentine projects.  I love Lori’s cute little Hershey’s Nugget Box so I used several of her files to create a fun top on the box, along with a matching card.

I added some sparkle to both projects with lines of tiny clear gems, and wrapped the candies in 1″ strips of pattern paper.  This is a super easy, affordable, and fun gift for classmates, co-workers, or for anyone that you want to give a special little treat to.

Here are the cutting files I used for this project:

Tic Tac Doe Design

Heart Card

The pattern paper is from the Lovebugs collection by Doodlebug Designs.

Thanks so much for letting me share a few projects with you today!  I hope you’ll hop over to my blog and say hello sometime!
