Fall Gift Card Box

It’s a beautiful Fall here in Michigan and I am enjoying every aspect of the gorgeous new place I live.  Lori’s My Favorite Fall collection from Echo Park is just simply perfect, all the pretty colors and Fall elements you need to create with this season.  I needed a fun way to give a gift card and Lori had the perfect new file to create the sweetest little gift card box.  The box is just simply adorable.  You can find the file for the Gift Card Holder here in Silhouette or here in Lori’s SVG shop.  Very quick and easy to put together.  There are just tons of elements to My Favorite Fall and I had so much fun with the new puffy stickers.  They are just too cute.  All the new Echo Park collections have these Puffy Stickers…hooray!

I forgot to take a picture that shows a gift card inside, but you can see just where it goes and then how fun to decorate underneath so that the recipient has a extra little bit of your creativity.  This little box is so versatile that you will be able to adapt and change it for every theme.  A quick and easy project that you will use time and time again.

Thank you for joining us today.  Make sure to stop by Lori’s shop and check out here new files at Silhouette Design Store too.  There is always just a ton of fun waiting for your die cutting machine with her files!

Fall Gnome Card

Welcome Fall!  My favorite time of the year!  Autumn and Halloween are also my favorite for paper crafting. This Fall I have been seeing lots of little gnomes everywhere, in paper crafting, stamping and home decor.  I love these little guys, so I thought I would create a Fall gnome card with Lori’s Echo Park My Favorite Fall collection and just a bit Carta Bella’s Fall Market.

I used Lori’s Gnome for the Holidays card and just switched up the patterns.  You can find the file here in the Silhouette Store or here in Lori’s SVG shop.  After I pieced him together, I added pretty embellishments from both collections.  Isn’t he adorable?  He’s simply too cute and I know my friend will love him when I send him to her with Birthday Wishes.

Enjoy this beautiful time of year and thank you for joining us today! ~Cathy

Pop Up Barn Card with Chicken

Hi everyone, Cathy here with you today!  I hope your summer is going great, and it’s County Fair Time in almost every county across the country in August….so I thought I would create a fun card with Lori’s new pop up barn card with the cutest little chicken. A darling card that celebrates just about anybody.  You can find the file here on Silhouette or here at Lori’s SVG shop.

This card was so quick and easy to make.  Really, just a few minutes and I was done.  I had some fun little pieces left over from Doodlebug’s Down on the Farm Collection that I added.  That little chicken is just too funny!  Everything about this file is adorable.  Check out both the Silhouette Online Design Store and Lori’s Shop for all her new pop up cards!

Extreme Pop Up Card Print and Cut Tutorial

Hi everyone!  It’s Cathy and I have a quick print and cut tutorial with Lori’s new Extreme Pop Up Card Thank You Flowers (Silhouette) or here at Lori’s shop .  I changed the front of the card so that I could use more of Lori’s new collection for Echo Park called Forward with Faith.  It’s so pretty so for the  front of the card, I layered tags, stickers and ephemera from the collection but other wise my card is pretty close to the original file.

Here you can see the inside of this super fun card.  There are four different cards on the Silhouette Store and Lori’s Store.  The dimension you get is just unbelievable and even better, they fold flat for mailing.  I used a pearl card stock to print the pop flowers, just added more shimmer.

So print and cut sound intimidating, but it’s really so easy and there are so many unbelievably cool files from Lori that use this feature.  Your cutting machine does it all for you in just a couple of easy steps. First, open your file and separate your pieces.  Select your pieces that need to be printed, and open your mat to add registration marks.  You need your printer to print these registration marks in the corners so that it can read them when it goes to cut.  The registration marks also show you your allotted design space. You want to make sure your design is all inside theses marks.   Once you have your design up on your screen and position where you want, simply send to your printer.

Now take your printed image from the printer and line it up on your cutting machine mat.  Load and send it to cut, adjust your settings if needed for the type of paper you will be cutting and hit send for your machine to begin cutting.  It will automatically look for those four corners printed on your paper.  It’s pretty cool how it knows to do that.  It will cut accurately around your image.  It’s like magic.

So from here I am going to send you over to Lori’s You Tube video that shows you how to assemble these awesome cards.  You can find the link here:  Extreme Pop Up Card tutorial.  They go together in a matter of minutes!
