Christmas House Card Inspiration

Lori Whitlock December Inspiration
Today on the Lori Whitlock blog I am sharing this fun Christmas House Creation. I have always loved this file!
 
 I added a little Santa and Sleigh ‘up on the rooftop’ for a bit of fun. I also cut extra elements from the front pieces to add a bit of interest on the inside of the card.  There was one reindeer that did not fit on the rooftop so he got to come inside and eat all the carrots waiting for the other reindeer! Hope he shared LOL!

Shaped Shadow Box Card Polar Bear Tutorial

 Happy Holidays everyone!  I have a quick and easy little shadow box to share with you.  It’s Lori’s Shaped Shadow Box Polar Bear.  This is the sweetest little bear.  I created this with just some card stock and Lori’s new Echo Park Winter Fun collection.  This little shadow box goes together like Lori’s box card envelope cards.  So super duper easy.

You can find the file here in the Silhouette Design Store, also.

First, start with cutting out all your pieces.

Then I put together his little face.
Then add your tree cutout to the back layer.
Flip over the two layer pieces and add double sided adhesive on each piece.
Also, add the blue snow piece to the very back of the box.  Adhere the two pieces together to form your box and then next add the tree layer, then to the village scene.
Then you get the sweetest little shadow box….I just finished it with all the darling elements from the Winter Fun collection.  He’s just adorable!  I can’t wait to make more.
Thanks for joining us today!

Snowman Mini Album

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a super fun mini album that I made with one of Lori’s fabulous cutting files called Shaped Shadow Box Card Snowman (SVG, Silhouette). What a great little scrapbook for winter photos and a cute handmade Christmas gift idea!

I love creating different projects, scrapbooks, and cards with Lori’s files. With the holiday just around the corner, they make amazing presents and home decor. I always set my projects out on my clear acrylic display stand. Lori is an amazing designer and I think these are little works of art! 

 


Her Shaped Shadow Box Card Snowman file is absolutely adorable with its layered 3D winter scene. I will definitely be making this card soon but for today’s project, I used just his head.

To make the album, I cut the cover out of white acrylic but you could use card stock instead. Then, I used black card stock and patterned papers from Doodlebug Design for the details. I added a few pop dots behind the holly berries and leaves for a little dimension and I think he’s the cutest!

For the inside, I cut 4 snowman shaped pages out of white card stock, giving me 8 layouts to decorate.

I covered the pages in pattern papers from Doodlebug’s Snow Much Fun Collection, then added lots of cute embellishments, flippies, and photo mats. On the page above, I used a 4″ and 3.5″ circle punch by Marvy Uchida to create my mat.

The round snowman’s face allowed me to play with the shape and size of the
photo mats so I varied them for interest. Then, I filled in the extra space around them with die cut pieces.

Speaking of die cuts … how cute are the little penguins above? I placed one underneath the mat so it looks like he’s peeking out from behind it! I made the mat with a 3″ scalloped circle punch and a 2.5″ circle punch.
