Love Banner

January 9, 2012January 9, 2012

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

January 4, 2012January 8, 2012

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!

Thank You Very Much!

Now that Christmas is over… what’s next? What’s more fitting than to tell all your loved ones “thank you” for all the generous gifts you’ve been given for Christmas? Our children need to learn to be thankful for the things they receive. Who are they going to learn it from?? Probably their mothers (and fathers). I have several card kits, card bases, and even quite a few “thank you” cards in the Silhouette Online Store and here in my shop. So, let’s get busy and make some cute cards with the kids this week and we can go into the New Year with a happy heart. I hope you’re all enjoying this fun week with the kids home!!

Today you’ll find 3 new designs in the Silhouette Online Store. I’ve created cards with coordinating envelopes. These cards measure 4.25×5.5 when cut as provided. And, the envelopes measure 4.5×5.75, so they hold these cards perfectly, but they could certainly be used for any card you make that will fit inside. I probably won’t have a chance to upload these to my store until next Tuesday, however if anyone needs them right away, please feel free to email me at info@loriwhitlock.com and I can get you what you need.

Have a GREAT day!!

Stocking Stuffers?

December 23, 2011December 23, 2011

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!!

The Coolest Card EVER!!

December 22, 2011June 26, 2012

It’s my birthday to day. So, I’ll keep this short and simple (my hubby is waiting to go out on a date).

You’ll find a new card available this week at the Silhouette Online Store and right HERE in my shop. This cool card will amaze you and anyone you give it to!! When you pull up on the little tab at the top both the top and bottom slide out! You’ll want to go watch the video tutorial for assembly instructions. It’s a perfect card for giving after Christmas to thank all those who have so generously given us gifts this holiday season. And, remember even though it comes with the “thank you” sentiment and the snowflake, you can change the sentiment and the embellishments for any occasion.

This is a “book” box and it’s designed to fit 4×6 recipe cards or photos inside. You can find a tutorial right HERE. It’s made of double layered cardstock and it’s super sturdy and so cute all made up.
