Father’s Day Toolbox Card with Karin

20160612-_MG_5139-Edit

Here is another really cute Father’s Day card from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. This time, it’s in the shape of a toolbox and it’s full of very useful tools.

The supplies I used include:

Lori Whitlock’s Toolbox card

Cricut card stock

Cricut pearl paper

Versamark stamp pad

Zing Pewter Metallic Finish embossing powder

Ranger black heat tool

ATG adhesive

 

In the video below, I show you how I set everything up in Design Space and then put the card together for you.

Have a great day!


Thanking the Best Teacher

When you literally have no time and HAVE to throw a card together, Lori Whitlock comes to the rescue with thousands of designs and design elements that can save the day and make you look like a PRO!

All this card took was some patterned paper with a school theme and one of Lori’s designs. I used Cricut Design Space to upload the images, flatten the elements and use the print then cut function to put together my card.

For this card, I used Lori Whitlock’s Teacher Thank You Tags file set.

After uploading my files, I flattened the images I wanted to print, then cut.

It’s a simple card, but it took no more than 15 minutes and I didn’t have to go out and buy one.

Santa Shaped Card with Corri

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  Corri here today sharing a fun shaped card made with Lori’s Santa Face file. Here’s how I made it.

First, ungroup the pieces and drag them off your mat.    Drag the beard portion onto your mat and then click on the replicate menu along the top. Click on mirror above.

Next, select the top beard and move it down slightly.  Select both pieces and the right click and select weld.

Now you have your card base. Next, cut all the layers including an additional white beard piece.   To add some texture to the card, I embossed this layer.

I used paper from the Christmas Cheer Collection from Echo Park Paper.  Such a fun card and it goes together really quickly.

Be sure to check out all the new Christmas files in Lori’s SVG shop and Silhouette Shop.

Favor + Invite from Brigit

Here’s a cute matching set, perfect for a barbecue invite and favor or a summer birthday party.

The paper and elements are from Echo Park’s A Perfect Summer collection designed by Lori, I absolutely love it, so bright and cheery!

For the card I welded the flipflops together from Lori’s Don’t Bother Me set, Corri has a great tutorial on how to create a shaped card in Silhouette Studio, you can find it here.

The stamped sentiment is from Jaded Blossom’s Happy Summer set and the Trendy Twine is Tickled With Teal.

The candy tube holder was so easy to make, I used Lori’s Firecracker Box and sized the whole thing to 13.25w (check lock aspect ratio).

I ungrouped and deleted the other pieces, select all and grouped the box and score marks together again, (it should measure 5.9h x 6.410w.)  Then I centered a 1″ circle on the top flap of the box for the cutout, (depending on the tube you use you may have to make the hole slightly larger.)

The back piece is just a rectangle cut at 1.535w x 6.75h and glued onto the back.  The two top inside flaps have to be trimmed a little so they don’t block the hole.

I used some Orangesicle Trendy Twine on the tube and filled with some Reese’s Pieces.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed my summery project!!

Stationary Set by Traci and Centerpiece by Corri

Today we have some fabulous projects by Traci and Corri
Hi Lori fans!
I’m so excited to be on the blog today sharing a really fun, and pretty quick, project with you.  As many of you may know, I’m a mini album girl.  They are my all-time favorite project.  Despite my mini love, I also love giving fun gifts with cute packaging.  So today I decided to share my love of little gift notes.  A 3×3 gift note is the perfect little “accessory” to a perfectly wrapped present.  I make several at a time so that when I have a birthday, wedding, or new baby gift to wrap, I already have a cute little hand-made gift enclosure to go with it.
Here is some gift note inspiration for you — complete with Lori’s adorable 3×3 stationary box to keep the cards in until you need them.
I love all of Lori’s digital cutting files, so it’s never hard to find the perfect addition to any card or project.  For this one, my favorite part of each card are the sentiments.  Lori designed the “Happy Birthday”, “Thank You’ and “Hello” pieces with an adorable font and a great background piece.  The ability to cut a white background allowed each of my sentiments to “pop” off any pattern paper I layered it onto.  I also love the cupcake for this card…especially with the little heart cut out.
I have always been a fan of Echo Park…especially the paper and embellishments that Lori designs for them.  Most of the papers I’ve used in this card set are from the “My Girl” Collection.  For the card below, I added a fun little branch from the sticker sheet and set an adorable bird up on pop dots for dimension.
For the “Thank You” card, I found Lori’s mason jar cutting file
This design can be used for so many things — I cut the design and then added a flower sticker and brad from the “My Girl” collection and finished it off with a knot of twine.
For the 3×3 box, I cut the file and also created an “inset” shape for each side.  After adding the inset accent pieces, I cut one of Lori’s new 3D flower designs for the front.  The flower also serves as a little accent to tuck the tab behind so that the lid stays closed 🙂  So, so, cute!
Thanks so much for visiting today!  Please stop by my personal blog, Artsy Albums, to say hello!

Next we have this adorable center piece by Corri.
I have a fun project for you today that would be great for a Memorial Day or July 4th table decoration.
I cut Lori’s Octagon Flower Pot as sized in the file from some kraft card stock.
For the rim of the pot, I used the red wood grain paper from Echo Park’s “Perfect Summer” collection which Lori designed.
I cut 3 of the Spiral Stars (size reduced to 2.795″h) and 2 Spiral Flower 1 from some navy card stock and some pattern paper from the “Perfect Summer” collection.  I cut an extra base layer for each flower, then hot glued a wooden skewer to one of the base layers and mounted the assemble flower to that with foam dots.
To add some stability, put something with a little weight in the bottom of the flower pot.  I used a few tokens from Chuck E. Cheese!   I used some more hot glue to glue a 4″ foam ball in the pot and then arranged my flowers and covered with some paper shreds.
You could change up this cute project for all kinds of summer parties.  Add some graduation caps and 2013 on your sticks for a cute graduation party center piece. Corri
