And, for those of you who don’t know or have not see it yet…. I debuted 4 collection at CHA with Echo Park this week. I attended CHA Sunday and Monday. I just have to say that I thoroughly enjoy being part of the Echo Park team!

I met 3 of my design team members in person… Carolyn, Corrie, and Tamara. That was awesome… along with meeting several other customers and friends. I’m excited to share with you all my new collections. Today I’ve created a gallery of  This & That Charming so you can see those patterns. Tomorrow I’ll show Graceful.

Sorry I can’t figure out how to remove the last 3 photos from the gallery!! If anyone knows… let me know ; )

Have a lovely day!

Valentine’s Ideas Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Lori Whitlock Design Team Blog Hop! I’m so glad you found our little hop and have decided to join us. The Design Team has been working on all sorts of Valentine’s ideas for you.

So, let’s get this party started by first announcing a 25% OFF SALE HERE in the online shop. Simply use code LOVEU25 at checkout. Please email me at info@loriwhitlock.com with any problems you may encounter placing or receiving your order. I want everyone to get the files they’d like to order and I want to make sure they are working for everyone.

I think it’s time to give away some free cutting files to my awesome customers and fans! Each day through Sunday… I’ll be giving away a FREE shape here on my blog. The files are SVG, DXF, and STUDIO. So, no matter what machine you’re using… these files should work for you. These files are to say “thanks” to all my my blog readers! Without you… well… there’d be no reason to blog. So, thanks for reading and dropping by!

Now… last but not least… I want to share some cute Valentine’s ideas with you.
First up is a cute home decor idea using my “LOVE” banner cutting file found at Silhouette and HERE. What a great way to decorate a mantle, railing, window, etc. this month. Thanks Natalie for helping me get this project put together!!
Next, is a new valentine box project file that I created just for you today. It should be available in the Silhouette Online Store in the next couple of days. But, it’s available HERE in my online shop right now for the special price of 1.99 (that makes it $1.49 with the sale this weekend). I was thinking about a great way to gather Valentine Cards at home or at school. So, I came up with this large box (about 7.5x5x2) made of 2 sheets of paper with a slit in the top and a cute bracket closure. Simply use a piece of velcro to keep your box closed. I’m going to use this box for our family to write “love notes” to each other. Each night we’re going to open the box and read the notes that were given that day.
Thanks for visiting my site today. Feel free to leave comments. I love your comments. It keeps me going : )

Valentine’s Boxes

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! My design team has been working on some cute Valentine’s packaging ideas. Today I have projects from both Joy and Natalie to share with you!

The first box was created by Joy Dickson.  I love the patterns and colors Joy chose for her boxes. I also love the little sentiments she added. What a fun way to present a gift! This “Candy Box” is made out of a single 8.5×11 sheet of paper! Here’s what Joy has to say:

“Today I used Lori Whitlock’s great Candy Box 3D file and some bits of soft and pretty floral ribbon to create these romantic and useful boxes.  I cut the boxes out using my Silhouette Cameo.”

The second project is by Natalie Graham and is a darling way to package candies or treats for Valentine’s Day. This is the largest candy box that I offer right now. It holds 6 of the scalloped divider boxes inside. But, I have candy boxes that hold 4, 3, 2, and 1 divider as well. So, no matter how big or small you’d like to make your box… there should be one that’s just the right size. Here’s what Natalie has to say:

“Now who wouldn’t love one of these – a sweetheart, a child, maybe a teacher?  It looks a little intimidating, but it was a quick project. I used Lori’s 6 candy box found here and her heart shapes found here.  And thanks for a fantastic store called the Bulk Barn – filling it with coordinating treats made it a breeze!”

Thanks Joy and Natalie for sharing these absolutely darling projects with us! Feel free to leave comments letting Joy and Natalie know what you think of their sweet projects : )
I’m off to CHA tomorrow. I’ll post again when I get back. Oh, and next week… on Thursday… we have a Design Team Blog Hop scheduled. So, make sure you drop by for the fun!
Have a great weekend!

Echo Park Sneak Peek

I’ve been busy designing quite a few new collections for Echo Park Paper. I’ve seriously been SO EXCITED to share something with you!! Echo Park released just a couple of layouts and the logo for one of the new collections that I designed called This & That. This & That is a “dual” collection with both a masculine and feminine side.

The layout on the left uses paper and embellishments from “Charming,” the first part of the twin collection. The layout on the right uses paper and embellishments from “Graceful,” the second part of this collection. There are so many fun patterns and embellishments to this huge collection and I can’t wait to show the rest of it to you!  Keep your eyes open. It should be on their site on Sunday. I’ll post more upon my return from CHA.
