Lori Whitlock SVG Envelope Necessities

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I would like to share my Top Ten Envelopes that are a must-have for any crafter. How many times have you made an awesome card and stuck it in an ordinary, thin, white envelope? It happens all of the time, which is why I’ve compiled this easy-to-reference list so you can find the right size and style for almost any card. I’ve also included some tips and embellishment ideas too!

All of the following envelopes are my very favorite. I know that they’ll be yours, too! All can be sent through the US Post Office, with the exception of the Money Holder. The Money Holder envelope is meant to be hand delivered, but it’s a great envelope to have on hand, so I included it too!

That seems like a lot, but there’s more! Did you know that there’s an entire category for  envelopes at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop? You can find them all here!

You can make your envelopes in advance too! I like to use Easy-Tear Double Sided Tape. Simply leave the tape liner on and when you’re ready to seal the envelope, remove the tape liner and press firmly. It certainly beats licking the envelopes! Currently, a standard size envelope can be mailed First-Class mail for 55-cents. Square, oversized, thick, or oddly shaped envelopes start out at 70-cents. I always take mine to my local Post Office to be weighed. You can find out where your local branch is at: usps.com.

Want to make that envelope extra special? Make a coordinating label! I love the “Label 3 Dingbat Font.”

Label 3 has many different shapes and you can customize the size to fit your envelope. You can find the font at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or at the Silhouette Design Store.

Curious about the samples posted above? They were made with Lori’s “Forward with Faith” Echo Park Paper line. I love, love, love the colors!

Bookmark this page so you will be able to create the perfect envelope for any project. Now, get those cards in the mail!

Happy Crafting!

Pop Up Box Card Wedding Hearts

Hi:

Anita here with a card I made for my best friend’s daughter who just got engaged.  I love the pop up box cards.  They look so cool when they are open and they fold flat to mail.  There are so many different card styles to choose from in Lori’s store.  I used one of Lori’s new collection called Forward with Faith from Echo Park.  You can find the cute file which is called Pop Up Box Card Wedding Hearts here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette store.

Here is the card folded and ready to mail.  Be sure to check out Lori’s store for all your summer celebration needs.

Hugs,

Anita

Birthday Tag With Ashley

Today I am sharing a fun Birthday tag.  I am making 100 of these tags, so I altered a card file to make some tags. I used just the cut out part to create a tag.  The birthday card can be found here or in the Silhouette store.

I used the Silhouette print and cut function to print first, then I foiled, then cut the tags.  You could also print in color.

That’s a lot of fun tags coming up.  Have a great day!

5 X 7 Lace Edge Card Tutorial with Anita

 

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a fun and easy tutorial to make this lace edge card which you can use for any occasion that you need a pretty card .  You can find the file that I used called Lace Edge 3 here in Lori’s SVG store and here in the Silhouette Design store.  As you will see there are many different styles to choose from.  I used Lori’s new fabulous Echo Park collection called Celebrate Winter.  Planning to send this off to a friend with warm winter wishes.

Here are the three pieces that you will be cutting out using your preferred electronic cutter.  The card base, the insert and the pocket that holds the insert.

Place your card in front of you with the fold on the left.  Fold on the score lines on the card and also on the pocket.  Next you will glue the pocket to the right side of the card putting glue only on the tabs.  This photo shows the pocket completed and the insert inside.  Below is another shot which has the insert half way out so that you can see it.

This card goes together so easily and as you see can be used for whatever occasion you want.  You could even slip a gift card, cash or check in the pocket with your sentiment as well.  That’s it for me today.

Hugs,

Anita
