Creative Team Projects by Mendi and Brigit

Today we have a special treat by having 2 of our talented Creative Team Members sharing projects with us. First we have Mendi, her blog is here if you want more info…

Today I have a new layout up on Lori Whitlock’s blog using her adorable Sweet Girl Collectionshe designed for Echo Park.  I thought for a slight change of pace I would try a layout where diecutting would take on more of a complimentary role to all the cute embellishments that come with this fun collection.

 

With my addiction to diecuts I must admit that sometimes I have an adversion to stickers (particularly ones with a white border), but with a little fussy cutting I was able to trim the banner border and one of the pinwheels to fit my style perfectly.  This line has so many adorable images.  Love the dimensional hot air balloon!

For my title I cut out the word “happy” from the patterned paper, inked the edges and popped the squares up with foam tape to carry out the Scrabble tile feel.  The word “girl” was diecut using Lori’s My Girl Titles cutting file.

I also used her Banner Flag Set which I elongated by welding the pennant to a rectangle of the same width.   To anchor my title I used an enlarged label from her 14 Labels set paired with a couple of darling brads from the collection.

Next we have Brigit sharing her first project on the blog.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and I thought this cute card and box from Lori’s shop would make a wonderful gift set.

I chose digital paper and elements from Echo Park’s For The Record 2 Tailored, I love the flower pattern, the colors are beautiful.

For the Mom Shaped Card I used some elements from the paper collection and one of the flowers from the Layered Flowers Set 2.  The pretty pink and cream bow is Trendy Twine’s Posy.  This card also comes with an envelope.

Love this Window Treat Box, it comes with the matching bracket tag.  I added the internal offset shadow layer and did a print and cut on my Cameo for the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment.  The same flower was used from the Layered Flower Set 2 on the tag.  The box is tied closed with some homemade pink crinkle ribbon.

Card Sets by Christine and an International Giveaway

Please give Christine a warm welcome on the blog today! She has created an adorable card set sure to make anyone happy. Take it away Christine…
I love giving sets of cards as gifts and I like when I have a cute box to put them in.  This Stationary Box is the perfect solution.  It’s very easy to put together and you can decorate it for any occasion.  I used the Sweet Girl paper collection to cut it out, and the Layered Flowers Set 2 to decorate the front.

The box doesn’t have a handle to cut out so I decided to make my own from washi tape.  There are 3 different patterns in the Sweet Girl collection and I chose the light yellow one.  To make the handle I tore off a long piece probably about 20 inches long and did my best to keep it laying down on my desk, sticky side up.  Then I took another piece approximately the same length and stuck to the other piece so they were back to back.  The washi tape makes a really cute little handle that is strong but flexible and also matches perfectly.  After the handle was put together, I folded back the edge on both ends, punched a hole in these double layered ends with a 1/16 inch hole punch and then put a brad through the holes.  I also prepunched holes in the sides of the box so that the brads are secure inside.

Here is a closeup of the Layered Flowers.  I used some foam adhesive under some of the layers to get them dimension.  I really love the way they turned out.  I know these are files that I will be using over and over again.
Here is a card that I made to go along with the set.  The box will hold many other cards plus envelopes.  I’ll have to get busy to fill it up.  For my card, I used the 3×4 Quote Cards as the focal point.  I use these cards in my Project Life layouts but I wanted to challenge myself to use them in a different way.  I really like that it makes a perfect background for the card’s sentiment.  (Please excuse the spots on my card.  My digital camera needs to be cleaned.)
Thanks for stopping by.  I’ll be posting more pictures of my project on my blog here.
