Cookie Box by Christine and Card/Bag Set by Brigit

Happy Monday! Are you ready for some beautiful projects? First we have Christine sharing the Cookie Stacker Box.

Today I have a cute little treat box to share with you.  This is a new file in Lori’s store this month, called the Cookie Stacker box, and I can see this filled with cookies, candies, or even a small toy.  I love the “see through window” in the front of the box.  I put some thin clear plastic over the opening but you could also delete that part and have a box that you can’t see into for those surprise packages!
I added a little tag onto my gift box.  I just cut a tag shape from this file, resized it, and added a few sticker embellishment from the Here & Now paper collection by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.

The top has premade mats for the for the scalloped edges and the upper portion so everything you need to cut is included in the file.  I love the precut holes for a fancy ribbon to top your package.
I can see using this precious box for giving gifts to neighbors, birthday gifts, holiday treats and everything in between!

Here & Now paper and cardstock sticker collection by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park
Brigit has this adorable grouping to share with us today.
Lori has so many beautiful cards in her store and I love pairing them with one of the 3d bags or boxes to create a wonderful gift set.

The card is from the A2 Card Base Set 2 which has 4 beautiful card designs included.  Fill the cute little purse with some candies or resize it to fit some makeup or a gift card, so many possibilities.

The design of this card is so beautiful, I love that lace edge.  Definitely want to use it for a Christmas card.

All the embellishments are from Lori’s store, except for the label which is from the Silhouette Online Store.  The flower is the 3D Flower 5, the butterflies are from the Layered Shapes set and the sentiment comes in the You Make Me Laugh set.

For the flap of the purse I used one of the labels that came in the same set I used on the card, just cut it in half and added the cute little button brad.  The beautiful digital paper I used on both projects is from Echo Park’s Beautiful Life collection.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed my project,  you can visit me at http://www.brigitsscraps.com

New at Jessica Sprague Life Cards: Called To Serve Kit

New at JessicaSprague this week is this fun new kit. It was inspired by the recent change of missionary age in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for young men and young women.

This has affected my (Lisa’s) family as I just recently sent my son to serve. When he got his call I started asking Lori to make this kit. Check out what she has created. I instantly fell in love. I wanted a kit I could quickly and easily add pictures to so I could keep it up to date with his experiences while he is away, thus the Project Life style seemed to be the perfect fit for me. I hope you will enjoy this kit as much as I do.

You can pick it up this weekend for 25% OFF. What a deal!  This price is good through SUNDAY.

LIFE CARDS: CALLED TO SERVE

This kit includes 61 Life Cards in both 3×4 and 4×6, PDF printables and 8 coordinating 12×12 patterned paper. No rounded corners so you can choose the look you want. Rounded corners can easily be added by using any of the Life Card Templates or by using a corner rounder after printing the included PDF’s.

Check out this stunning layout by our Creative Team Member Natalie Graham using the kit Life Cards: Called To Serve. She used the PDF file and printed each of her cards, they placed them into divided sheet protectors.

Silhouette Tutorial Subtract Feature by Corri

Hi everyone!  I have a quick tutorial for you today with a couple of examples of how to use the subtract feature in Silhouette Studio.

In my first example, I used the subtract feature to cut down this ticket border for the ice cream card I did a couple of weeks ago.

To trim down the border, use the rectangle tool to draw a rectangle around the tickets you want to delete.

Then click on the modify menu along the top and select subtract. 

To separate the two layers, right click and pull down to release compound path.

Now you have two layers.  I cut them in different colors and stamped my sentiment on the top layer.

For my second example, I made a simple cut out card using one of the hearts from Lori’s 11 hearts set.

I created a rectangle that was 5.25″h x 4″ and placed the heart along the edge.  Select both objects and go to the modify menu and click on subtract.

I created another rectangle at 5.375 x 4.125 to adhere behind the heart.

I cut one of these banner labels for my sentiment.

I embellished my simple card with some gem stickers, a button and some burlap string.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  You can see more of my projects on my blog.
