“Hoppy” Valentines Day with Tya

Hi everyone – Tya here with you sharing a fun Valentines Day gift set featuring a couple of new cut files from Lori. Lori has the knack for creating the cutest little critters and when I saw these cute frogs I “jumped” at the chance to create this fun set. I made the Frog Lip Balm Holder and the Frog Treat box.

First up is the Frog Treat Box. I used a basic dot paper in a few different shades for the box. I added some black enamel dot eyes and topped the treat bag filled with what else- gummy frogs- with a print and cut “Hoppy” Valentines Day sentiment using the LW Dandy Font and a ticket shaped tag in the 5 Layered Shapes file.

Next up is a fun lip balm holder with the same papers and accents- the red EOS holder was the perfect touch.

Make sure to stop by Lori’s shop and check out all the new Valentines Day critters – http://www.shop.loriwhitlock.com/ – they are so cute and a nice little surprise for your Valentine! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi I’m Angi, and I am super thrilled to be a part of the Lori Whitlock creative team! I lead a fun-filled life with my two beautiful daughters. By day I teach a lovable bunch of teenagers. I even incorporate crafts into my literature lessons. I also dabble in photography and graphic design. I have proudly served my country in the U.S. Marine Corps and totally support the brave men and women in the armed forces. My favorite projects to create are what I call – “Off the page projects”. I love making party favors, gift boxes, and gift bags. I am happy to be here and hope my creative projects will make you smile!

Hi I’m Courtney!  I am a 30-something mommy of 3 little girls! Emmaline is 3, Charlotte Rose is 23 months, and Lilibeth was born on 12/26/15! They make my world go around. I have an amazing husband who is so proud of my crafting and is infinitely supportive. We live in Carmel, California with our little dog named Spoon. I love shaped cards, home decor, and 3-d objects so Lori’s cut files make me SUPER excited about crafting! Lori is so inventive and I am SO blessed to be a part of her Creative Team! I also love gardening, fro-yo, boba, walking along the beach, and traveling. I am so excited to kick off this year with all of the other incredibly talented ladies on this team and I look forward to inspiring you in any way I can! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions about any of my projects. I’m an open card! 😉
