Hello Summer Bicycle Shadowbox

Hello all you crafty friends…and Happy Summer! I have an adorable craft for you today to make and set on your desk to enjoy Summer without having to endure the heat. This is the Hexagon Shadowbox Bicycle (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette), one of Lori’s new svg files. It is soooo cute sitting here on my desk. I just love all of the different layers!!

If you’d like to make one of your own, I’m here to help! So let’s get started!

Cut out all of the pieces. I used a thick white cardstock for the frame (at least 80lb for sturdiness) and normal cardstock for all of the colored layers. Once I had all of the balloons, trees, and bicycle pieces cut out I adhered them to the layer pieces.

Here is a closer look at those pieces.

Next, adhere the tabs together on each piece of the main frame and let it dry.

Now we can start assembling the shadowbox. Adhere the light blue cardstock piece to the back of the base piece. Bend all of the glue tabs…solid base piece tabs fold upwards and the insert layering pieces along with the front frame tabs fold downwards.

Adhere the outside frame to the back piece of the box.

With the layered piece tabs folded down, insert and adhere them to the box. Tree piece is adhered first. Make sure you are adhering the layers so that the tabs are touching the piece behind it. You need to make sure you still have enough room for the top frame tabs.

Next adhere the balloon piece to the box.

And then the bicycle piece.

After all of the layers have been adhered into the box, there should still be enough room to adhere the top frame tabs to the inside of the box. Adhere the top frame (tabs go inside )on and wait for it to dry.
Then decorate to your heart’s content!! I simply added a Hello Summer title chipboard piece from the I Love Summer collection.
Hope you have fun putting this fun shadowbox together!!  And don’t forget, the July Sale is happening in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!  Get 30% Off All SVGs when you use code JUL2020 at checkout!

Sailboat Box Card

Hello crafty friends! Aimee with you today and bringing you this adorable little sailboat card. This is the new Box Card Sailboat (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette Design).

It looks great in the red, white, and blue colors but I thought I’d go a different route and use the new America collection by Lori. I love the red, white, blue, light blue, and wood!! The smaller patterns from the 6×6 pad were the perfect size for my card.
This sweet little sailboat card can easily be folded to fit inside of an envelope for mailing but I think it will be perfect to set out with all of my 4th of July decor in my house.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Father’s Day Mower Box Card

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today with another fabulous Father’s Day card! As soon as I saw the Box Card Father’s Day Mower (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette) with the John Deere tractor I knew I needed to make it for my husband. He’s not a country guy but he loves his tractor for doing yard work!

For a little more dimension, I used some pop dots between the tractor and the insert card and the tree and insert card. This box card is absolutely adorable and I can’t wait to give it to him!

I adore this little tractor and have had the thought of making a larger cut of it to use on a scrapbook layout. I have quite a few pictures of my husband pulling our kids around in the cart behind the tractor or of my kids driving the tractor.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

Changing up Sentiments

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today and I wanted to share a little tip with you on changing the sentiments on your Lori Whitlock SVGs that have special print and cut messages. The original message may say Happy Mother’s Day but you can change them to fit any occasion you need such as birthday, Thank You, I miss you, or Congrats!

For the card itself, I used the A2 Box Card Mother’s Day Flowers file (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette).

I used the Joyful In Hope sentiment (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette)  for one of my box cards and

the sentiment from the Double Slider Card Birthday Balloons (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette).

It’s very simple to do. Just open up your file, ungroup the message from its background box, and delete the original message.

1. Duplicate the background box found in the file you intent to use. Import the sentiments you want to use.
2. Ungroup the new message and delete its background box.
3. Move the new message over to the other background box and resize it to fit.
4. Now you have your boxes ready. All you need to do now is print and cut, and then adhere to your project.
Hope everyone is staying happy, healthy and crafty! Thanks for stopping by today!

Carriage Mini Album

Hello to all! Aimee here today with a mini album for that special little girl in your life! It’s fun for me to look at all of the different SVG files from Lori and get ideas on how to use those files by thinking out of the box. There are so many possibilities when you do a little altering with the files.

When I looked at the Princess Carriage Treat Box (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette) I could perfectly envision a mini album made with it. And it looks quite adorable made with the new All Girl collection! If you are interested in making one of these, grab your papers, stickers, embellies, and some thick white cardstock and check out my simple instructions down below.

Here is a closer look at the inside pages:

Instructions: Delete any of the pieces not needed. I did not need the box, the inside wheel pieces and the heart.

Cut out the pieces needed for the front cover of the mini album. I choose different shades of pink for the carriage and some wood print cardstock for the wheels. For the inside pages of the mini, cut out 2 of the full shapes for each page and glue them together for sturdy pages. I have 5 inside pages so I cut out 10 of the full shapes.

Using the Internal Offset, create a shape that fits inside the cuts that will be the pages. This will be for the pattern paper that fits just inside of the white pages. Assemble your album and then all that is left to do is have fun decorating each page!! You will have a blast decorating your mini with all of the fun elements of the new All Girl collection!

I hope you all have a great day.  Thanks for stopping by and stay safe and healthy!!
