My Favorite Lori Whitlock Projects

Hello everyone! Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here to share some of my favorite projects made with Lori’s cut files. Her designs are so versatile and fun. Here are just some of the ways that I have used them.

I really love super heroes and attend Comic Con each year. That’s what inspired this party idea.  I used Lori’s popcorn box  and cupcake flags to make these. The cupcake flags are very versatile too. You can use them for other things besides cupcakes.

 

My  next project is a handmade card. I used a Lori Whitlock 3D bow tie cut file for this one. The bows are so super adorable and can be used on any type of project.

 

My last project is a camera card. This is my favorite of Lori’s cut files. I used my Silhouette and her camera cut file. I used pop dots behind the heart and a “perfect vacation” sentiment to add some dimension.

 

As you can see Lori’s files are very versatile and can be used on all types of fun projects. I hope you enjoyed seeing the variety today! Happy crafting!

Sizzix Woodland Animal Party with Lori Whitlock Dies

Hello everyone! Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here with a fun party idea. This one would be perfect for both boys and girls. And since it’s a “woodland theme” you could host this party indoors or out. I used Lori’s adorable dies from Sizzix for this one. And I also used some of her patterned paper that she designed for Echo Park. Let’s get this party started!

 

Here are some close up shots of my little party! I just love the Sizzix Bigz Die Owl. It’s so adorable. I added some of the Petticoats and Pinstripes patterned paper to the wings. I also used the Framelits coordinating dies and stamps to make the cupcake toppers.

 

The Sizzix Bigz Die Fox is another adorable part of the party. I added more of the patterned paper and used the enamel dots for the eyes and nose.

Be sure to add more fun sentiments to some juice bottles.

The kiddos would love seeing them on their drinks.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my fun little party idea today. Be sure to check out Lori’s Sizzix dies, they’re a lot of fun to work with!

Girly Dress Box Tutorial with Angi

Hello everyone! Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here with a fun tutorial for a little girl’s party. I love the versatility of Lori’s cut files. You can use them in a variety of ways. For example, I used her Wedding Favor Box and transformed it in another way.

 

I decided to make a party favor set. I used Lori’s designer paper and chipboard accents from Echo Park. It’s called “Petticoats and Pinstripes”. It’s so adorable to use for girly parties.

Here’s how to make one of your own: First, use your electric die cutter and pretty paper to cut out the shape.

 

Next, fold at the cut lines and use adhesive to put the box together.

Add pop dots to the back of the extra cut out of the dress.

 

Place that extra piece to the front of your box to give it a 3D effect.

 

 

 

Add little pearl accents to the bottom of the dress.

You can make a whole set of these for each girl at the party. The girls would love it.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my little party idea today.

Sweet Teacher Gift with Angi

Happy Monday everyone! This is Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here with a fun gift idea for teachers. I am a teacher myself and love getting sweet gifts from my students. And we are only a month away from Teacher Appreciation day on May 3rd, why not make a handmade little something for your child’s teacher?

 

I browsed through Lori’s cut files and found this adorable 3D Apple Favor Box (here in the Silhouette Store) You can adjust the size to make it as big or as small as you like. It’s great for candy, trinkets, and even gift cards. You can add a small pencil embellishment inside as well.

Be sure to check out all of the teacher themed cut files in the SVG Shop. My favorites are the Teacher Thank you Tags,  A2 Chalkboard Teacher Card, and the Teacher Phrases.

 

I hope you enjoyed my fun project today! And don’t forget to thank a teacher!

A Crafty Embroidery Hoop Tutorial with Angi

Hello crafty friends! This is Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here with a fun tutorial for you today. I want to show you how to make a unique handmade gift using Lori’s SVG files and her new paper collection called “Happy Summer” from Echo Park.   This project is so fun to make and is sure to bring a smile to someone’s face!

 

Here are the supplies you will need:

  • A mini embroidery hoop
  • Lori’s cut files – 2 Layer Bird
  • Happy Summer paper collection
  • Happy Summer Enamel Dots
  • Cardstock
  • Adhesive & Pop Dots

 

 

Step 1: Cut out your shapes from the cut files using your Silhouette or Cricut Explore electronic cutter. I also cut out a circle that measured the length and width of the circle shape of the embroidery hoop.

I used the 2 Layer Bird – Design #8460 in the Silhouette Design Store.

 

Step 2: Add small dabs of liquid adhesive to the inside of the embroidery hoop then place the circle shape so that it fits all the way around it. Allow to dry so that the paper is firmly in place.

 

Step 3: Decorate the front by layering on all of the pieces on top. Leave room for a sentiment/greeting and the flower.

 

Easy peasy! You have just created a fun little gift. I love to gift these to teachers for end of the year gifts. They love them! You can easily change this up for any kind of occasion such as birthdays, baby showers, party favors, and more. Be sure to check out Lori’s SVG store for more cut files that you can use for this project!
