Doodlebug Design Cut File Feature: Polar Pals

Hi Everyone!  Today I’m showcasing another fabulous project using Doodlebug Design’s cut files!  These fabulous cards were created by Brigit Mann for Doodlebug Design.

 

Brigit used a number of different files from the Polar Pals Collection for her cards.

You can see her original post here.   New Doodlebug Design SVG files are being added to the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop on a regular basis, so stop by to see all of the fun SVG files HERE!

Have a great day!

A Mason Jar Shaker Card with Cathy

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share how I took one of Lori’s shaker tags and made it into to a card.  I love the trend right now of shaker tags and cards, so much fun.  I adore Lori’s new Celebrate Winter collection from Echo Park and immediately a shaker card came to mind with all of the lovely blue shades in the collection.  I started with this shaker embellishment, you can find the here on Silhouette or here at Lori’s shop.

I turned this super cute file into this shaker card.  I adore how it turned out and it was super easy to do!

Open the file, and enlarge it to 16.75 x 18.75, by doing this it will make you mason jar just about the size of regular A2 card.  After you enlarge it, separate your mason jar, ovals, and windows. That way you can make your card base.

Follow the step below, you could add a score line where the jars meet but I just used my scor-it to do that.  Why add an extra step?  Lol.

I cut extra lid shapes so that my card would just have that extra dimension.

I backed my window with white card stock and then you layer all of your windows, use a good adhesive, you want a good seal so that none of your sequins fall out.  I always repurpose a piece of clear packaging for my clear window part.  So layer all of the window shapes, except one, fill with sequins and such, adhere your clear window, and then one more window goes over the top. Then just adhere all of your lid shapes.  All that’s left to do is embellish your card… I used some of the Celebrate Winter Collection from Echo Park to embellish.

I love how this turned out…this is simply one of the cutest collections for winter ever!

New in Shop: Valentine Mailbox 2

Have you seen the new Valentine’s Mailbox 2 file in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and in the Silhouette Store?  This adorable little mailbox is so cute, and it holds a little treat… take a peek…

The door secures closed with little tabs so it’s easy to package up a little something!

You can use the little key to pull the door open to reveal the treat inside!

This cute little mail box is pretty easy to assemble!  See the steps below to put it all together!

1. Cut pieces and add decorative panels to the mailbox base and door. I added 1/4″ score tape to the tabs.
2. Add the door to the mailbox base by tucking the tab to the back of the base piece and securing with adhesive.
3. Use the edge of your table or a dowel to curl the mailbox top, and adhere to mailbox base.  Add the handle by inserting into slots and gluing in place.
4.  Add the bottom piece to the mail box base, folding the mailbox base around it and securing.  Fold up the final side of the mailbox and secure.
5. Add the top shoot inside support piece inside the box, flush with the bottom score line of the mailbox opening.
6.  Bring mailbox top up and around the top of the base, gluing the tabs inside the box to complete.
If you make one of these cute little mailboxes or another of my files, be sure to tag Lori Whitlock on Social media!  We would love to see what you create!
Have a great day!
