Side Step Card Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I have a classic card of Lori’s to show you today and I wanted to show you what an amazing blank canvas these cards are….you can build a scene in just no time with all the goodies from Lori’s collections.  This is Lori’s Side Step Card (Lori’s Shop)  or  Side Step Card (Silhouette Store).  I used Lori’s new Echo Park Little Lady Bug collection.

 

First, cut your card base.  You will have lots of score lines.  Carefully fold on the score line which is on the small section on the left.  This is the one that folds the card in half.
Then with next five score lines, you want to create mountains and valleys.
It should look like this from the side now.
Next, adhere your patterned papers to the side and the steps!
I chose a sentiment from the 6×6 Little Ladybug paper pad to add to my back step.
And from there, it’s just so easy to pull from the stickers and tags to create these little cards that fold flat for mailing and fit it a regular A2 envelope.  I love this bright, fun little card!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Box Card Large Valentine Centerpiece Tutorial

Hi! Teri here with a tutorial for the cute Box Card Large Valentine’s Centerpiece (Shop, Silhouette). This piece is simple to put together and turns out adorable.

First, I cut out all of my pieces even a few extra heart banner pieces. Since I’m putting this in a location where all sides will be seen, I wanted the banner to go all the way around the box. I also inked the hearts to give them more depth.

I ensured that all of my hearts would fit in the right spots.

Then I glued the main box portion together.

A little tip that I use for stringing baker’s twine is that I apply a small amount of wet glue to the end of the twine and then twist the twine applying the glue. Then let it dry for a few minutes and this will give you a makeshift needle so you can thread the twine through the small holes of the mini banners. I then glued the end of the twine into the corners of the main box portion.

Then I added the front and back insert pieces folding the glue tabs towards you so that you’ll get the same distance on both sides.

Then add the center insert piece.

All three insert pieces should be evenly spaced.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! It’s officially 2024 and I’m already looking forward to all the new and exciting paper collections and projects ahead. I hope everyone had a fun and safe evening last night and you’re enjoying the day with loved ones. In honor of the holiday, I’m sharing a very fun pop-up card that I made with one of Lori Whitlock’s awesome cutting files.

 

It’s called Hexagon Pop-up Card New Year 2 (SVG, Silhouette). I made it with a variety of solid papers and a cute black and white gingham – all from the Echo Park, Little Ladybug Collection that Lori designed.

When opened, the card looks great sitting out as festive holiday decor. Use it on a desk, a shelf, side table, entryway table, or … your fireplace mantle. 

 

 

It folds flat for sending in an envelope or for storing as a wonderful memento.  I love the scripted Happy New Year and the cute stars! I hope you’ll visit Lori’s shop to see all the other wonderful cutting files she has. 

Here is the file I used …

 

 

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy crafting!
