Thankful For You by Aimee

Hello paper crafty friends!  Aimee here with you today and bringing you some more Autumn paper goodies. I can never get enough of Fall or the new Celebrate Autumn collection by Echo Park.

Today I am showcasing a couple of Lori’s older svg files and they turned out so fabulous made with Celebrate Autumn! This one here is called Shadow Box Card Scene Squirrel. These cards are so much fun to put together and came together quickly! Best thing is they fold flat for easy mailing. You can get this little beauty at the Lori Whitlock Shop or at the Silhouette Design Store.

The next piece of my project is this little cutie. This is the 3D Acorn Box that you can find at the  Lori Whitlock Stop or at the Silhouette Design Store. The top piece lifts off and can be filled with small yummies. I decorated it by adding a bow, sequins, enamel dots, and a couple of die cuts from the Celebrate Autumn collection.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Autumn Days! Thanks for stopping by today!!

Autumn Planner Pages & Flowers with Aimee

Hello everyone and Happy Fall!! Aimee here with you today to share my September Planner pages. Fall is my absolute favorite so these pages came together quickly.

There are so many new files that would create beautiful planner covers! I chose the “it’s Fall Y’all” sentiment along with the wreath and flowers. I started this project with a focus on making DIY flower clips but I had so much fun designing the cover with the new cut files and Lori’s beautiful new “Celebrate Autumn” collection that I lost my focus. LOL!! So here is a close up of the dashboard… 

And now I will get to the main part of this post…Lori has a ton of beautiful flowers in her shop so it was difficult trying to figure out which ones to use but these 2 looked the most fall-ish to me. I cut out the flowers, assembled them, and then glued them to a matching paper clip. To make sure they would stay on the paper clip, I adhered paper circles to the backs. Make sure to use a good type of glue so they stay in tact through your planner activities.

Here is a look at my full dashboard/pocket spread made with the beautiful “Celebrate Autumn” collection…

The weekly pages were just as much fun creating as I really put the stamp set to work!

Lori’s cut files needed to complete this project:

Wreath Welcome Home – Lori Whitlock Shop or Silhouette Design Studio

It’s Fall Y’all – Lori Whitlock Shop or Silhouette Design Studio

Hope you enjoyed taking a look into my Autumn planner pages and will try making your own paper flower clips for your planner!

A5 Planner Dashboard Tutorial with Aimee

Hello crafty peeps! Aimee here with you today to share a tutorial on creating planner dashboards. I’ve been doing this all year long because I feel there are so many of Lori’s svg cuts that create a very unique dashboard!

To start off I needed an A5 planner template so I would know how to resize all of my svg pieces. I created this template myself by scanning one of my pages and importing it into my Silhouette program to get the cut lines I needed.

I pulled up the A2 Beach Card svg file and deleted all of the pieces I didn’t need which are the card base, card front panel piece, and the sentiment tag. I know this is a card svg but I just knew it make a fabulous planner dashboard!

I also pulled up the Cloud Dingbat font to get a title for my dashboard.

I wanted it to stand out so I added an offset cut.

I played around with the sizes of the cuts to get it to fit onto my A5 planner page template.

Here are my pieces after I cut them out with my Silhouette.

And here they are adhered down to my August A5 planner page with some added decorations. I also ran my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen over the sun and umbrella.

And here is finished product in my planner! It sets the tone of how I want the rest of my August planner pages to look.

Here is a look at my January dashboard with a Lori Whitlock sentiment svg.

My April dashboard sports the beautiful mason jar svg cut.

There are so many options of Lori Whitlock svg cuts to create a unique look for all your planner dashboards!

You Rock Shadow Box Card by Aimee

Hi friends! Aimee here with you today and I have a fabulous card for those loved ones in your family who like to rock out on the guitar! I made this card for my son who loves to play guitar, bass, and drums. I am so amazed at his musical talents and want him to know that I appreciate hearing his music!

This card is the Shadow Box Card You Rock Guitar found at the Lori Whitlock store HERE or at the Silhouette Store HERE.  A couple of things I did to jazz up this card is to use a lot of patterned paper and can you believe these papers are from the Lori Whitlock Baby Boy collection? The other thing I did was add some Nuvo Gold Glimmer Paste to the “you rock”. I masked off the side frame and smoothed it right over the top of the “you rock” & lines and let it dry before I adhered my card together. I love this card so much and hope you do too!

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you are having a day that rocks!!

My Teacher Rocks Sticky Note & Pen Holder by Aimee

Hi friends! Aimee here today with an adorable My Teacher Rocks notepad. I know most everyone is on a traditional school schedule and right in the middle of Summer fun but our kids attend a year round school so we are already back to school for the 2018-2019 school year. So here I am sharing this teacher gift early in hopes you have time to get a jump start on yours.

I used the Sticky Note & Pen Holder svg which you can find at the Lori Whitlock store here or in the Silhouette Design Store here. You’ll also notice I used the amazing new Back To School collection by Lori for Echo Park on my project.

Thanks for stopping by today and hope everyone is enjoying their Summer so far!
