Princess Castle Box Card Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. Have you seen Lori’s new Our Little Princess collection from Echo Park Paper?  There are lots of coordinating die cuts that you can use to create a truly special card for your little princess. I love making dimensional cards so I selected the Castle 3 Box Card (SVG, Silhouette).

Let me show you how easy it is to put together.

  1. Cut out pieces with your electronic cutter. You can use the print and cut feature for the sentiment on the back of the card or use a sticker from the collection. If the pattern paper you are using is different colors on the front and back, you will want to cut 2 of the castle backs that the sentiment piece is adhered to. This is so when viewed from the front, it is the same color as the rest of the card.

  2. Glue the black cardstock pieces behind the windows and door. Use coordinating ink to ink the edges of the paper to add dimension.

  3. Assemble the card front panel, the back panel, and the 2 castle inserts.

  4. Glue the card base to create a rectangle and then adhere the card front and back panels to the base.

  5. Add the box card inserts and then embellish with stickers from the Our Little Princess collection.

This card folds completely flat for mailing (A7 envelope) and is sure to bring a smile to the lucky recipient’s face. Be sure to check out all the other castle cut files in Lori’s store too.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Box Castle Card and Sketch Fonts

Hello!  Today I have a great castle card to show off and a review of some of Lori’s Sketch Fonts.

Image 1

SVG/Silhouette

On the back is a Happy Birthday sentiment.  I decided I wanted to try out some sketch fonts with different pens.  On the card I used the LW Favorite Sketch font. Here are fonts I experimented with:

Tall Sketch Font: SVG/Silhouette

Jordan Sketch Font: SVG/Silhouette

Favorite Sketch Font: SVG/Silhouette

Block Sketch Font: SVG/Silhouette

Dot Sketch Font: SVG/Silhouette

I also tried some fonts that aren’t Sketch:

Delightful SVG/Silhouette

Skinny Minnie SVG/Silhouette

State Heart Dingbats SVG/Silhouette

I’m using the Cricut Explore Air 2 today.  These sketch fonts will also work with other Cricut machines as well as Silhouette machines.  I first used a pen, and I forgot to select Draw for several of the fonts (so some were cut).  First tip when using sketch fonts and pens is to make sure to select Draw for your font.

You can see the sketch fonts are a single line and the other fonts, the machine draws an outline of the letters.  I think they all look great though.  Next I used a 1 mm marker.  This was an older marker, so by the end of the drawing, it is getting a little faded.

I learned that you select the type of pen or marker in the pallet square next to the Linetype selection drop down menu in Cricut Design Space. I think the marker is especially great for the Tall Sketch Font and the State Dingbats font.

Last I tried selecting some fonts with the pen and some fonts with a marker.  The turquoise words are in pen and the gold are 1 mm marker. The machine stops after finishing drawing with the pen, and then tells you to change tools.  You can see what the different fonts look like.  I love having some sketch fonts to be able to add your own sentiments to cards.

The first font in the above picture is the Dot Sketch font (not Block).  The marker writes the Skinny Minnie font really great too.

Well there you go–an exploration in using different fonts with your sketch pens.  Is anyone interested in seeing the Silhouette sketch pens?  We can try that in another post!

And don’t forget,  all SVGs, Fonts, pattern fills and commercial licenses are on sale now in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  Get 30% off when you use code AUG2020 at checkout.  Sale Ends Saturday.

Have a great day!
