Featured Projects

I wanted to say how impressed I am by all the darling projects using my cutting files and paper products that I see when I look around! I’d like to start sharing these when I find them here on my blog. Today I have three super cute box projects that I thought you might enjoy seeing. Hopefully these projects will help get the wheels turning and get you excited to create some fun boxes this winter and Valentine’s holiday.

The first project I have for you today is a super cute rendition of my “Adorable Box” by Jen Davis. I love the awesome red snowflake and red bow that Jen added. Just lovely.

 

The second project is a an awesome example of how cute my Candy Box with 4 dividers inside can be. This project is by Kelly Booth. Those candies look so delicious! Thank you, Kelly, for sharing this with us! And, just so you are aware, there are several sizes of the candy box that I offer. Just to clarify… they all fit the same size scalloped inserts. The scalloped inserts are separate little boxes that slip inside the larger box and act as a liner for your candy/treats. In my shop all the boxes come with the liner file. In the Silhouette Store, the boxes and the liner are separate downloads. But, the good news is… once you have the liner, it fits inside all the different candy boxes that I offer.

And, while we’re talking about how cute Kelly’s box is… she also created this darling box that holds the cutest little cards she made. Be sure to check out her original post HERE to see the whole project.

I hope you’re all doing well and having a fabulous January. I’ve been quite for a few days because my hubby and I took the kids on a vacation last week. It was so relaxing to get away with just my family for a few days and focus on them. I’m back in full swing now and am gearing up for CHA this weekend! I’m so excited to go to the show this year!! I’m releasing 4 new collections with Echo Park Paper at the show! I’ll be at the Echo Park booth… so if you’re there MAKE SURE you stop by and say “HI”!! I would love to meet each of you!

All of the files listed in today’s post can be found in my portfolio in the Silhouette Online Store if you’re a Silhouette user. And, if you use a different cutting machine, you can find them in my online shop here:

Candy Box
Scalloped Closure Box
Card Box (to be added to the shop on Wed.)

Have a great day!


 

New Today!

Yep… 12 new shapes today. Whew, I think I’m gonna sleep good tonight : )

My candy box with the inserts have been so popular that I thought I’d offer more boxes in that collection. These boxes are divided inside by cute little scalloped inserts. They’re perfect for housing candy or chocolates. Can’t you just picture one of these filled with different colored M&M’s for Valentines?

I also decided it was time to create a box that requires NO GLUE!! These little babies fold together and secure themselves in no time flat. So, if you’re creating several boxes for gifts and such… this is the way to go! You can thank me later ; )

I also created a Sliding Gift Box that has a bracket flap and when you open it…. there’s a little tray/drawer that slides out. This is a great box for giving money, gift cards, a mini album, a card, jewelry, etc. It’s super cute and fun to make.

Oh, and the chapstick holder… well it’s just plain cute and what a fun little packaging idea for a little gift? I hope it comes in handy for someone.

Feel free to share your ideas over on my facebook page! I absolutely LOVE it when you all post your projects so I can see the fun things you’re creating with my files. It keeps me inspired!! Thanks so much for dropping by!

Love Banner

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! It’s been super busy here at my studio getting ready for CHA and creating all sorts of new Silhouette/SVG shapes. Today I have the CUTEST “Love” banner created by DT member Miss Carolyn King to share with you. Now that all the Christmas decorations are down it’s time to think about Valentine’s.  So, hopefully Carolyn’s banner will help you all get inspired with some Valentine’s ideas. I love that Carolyn used my Echo Park “For the Record” collection! Here’s what Carolyn has to say:

“I painted a thin piece of wood with black paint and got to work creating this:I used several of Lori’s silhouette files to help in my design: Love Banner, 9 Hearts, Bird on Branch. I used the banner to spell out the word and then used the fun hearts to suspend down from the banner using jump rings. The hearts just dangle :)”

Boxes

I’ve added several new boxes to my Silhouette Online Store and to my online shop. And, the best part… there are some tutorials to go along with those boxes that you can find HERE. Many customers have requested assembly instructions for my more complicated projects. I’m so excited to be offering those to you in the form of YouTube videos. You can go subscribe to my channel so you’ll be notified when new tutorials become available. Keep in mind that the videos are a work in progress and I hope to make them even more professional as I learn more about the process. So, please bare with me as I learn. You’re all the BEST!! Have a great day!

 

 

Stocking Stuffers?

Are you ready for Christmas? If you’re looking for a cute little “stocking stuffer or last minute “packing idea” Joy has a fabulous idea for you. I really meant to post this earlier… but I figure it’s better late than never, right? Here’s what Joy has to say:

“I used the Bracket Closure Box file to create a stacked box display.  It’s ready for gift giving or just as a cute holiday decoration!  All paper is from Echo Park’s Seasons Greetings pack and the chipboard ornaments, snowflake and button are also by Echo Park.  After cutting the boxes using my Silhouette Cameo, I just added a bit of glue to the sides, folded and the box was assembled!  You’re going to love how easy they are to put together!  I tied two of the boxes using bakers twine.  The third box is secured with a glue dot.  The adorable Santa was printed from my printer and cut with my Silhouette.  Santa comes from Lori’s Christmas Set #2.  These boxes are perfect for holding small gifts, candy or even a letter to Santa!”

We all know that presentation makes such a difference in our gift giving. With the Silhouette Cameo or whatever machine you may have, it’s really easy to create a box to make your gift look amazing. Joy  created the cutest bracket window boxes and filled them with awesome treats/gifts that would make perfect little stocking stuffers, too.

Thanks JOY for sharing these cute ideas with us!

Have fun wrapping up your holiday gift giving this year. And most of all have a very Merry Christmas, EVERYONE!!
