cherries – Lori Whitlock

Some of my favorite cards to create with Lori’s files are her shape cards, especially for my granddaughter. She loves to receive mail and I try to send a card to her every couple of weeks with a bit of spending cash. These are two cards that will be coming her way, bright and fun for summertime. Both have just a couple of stickers from Lori’s Echo Park collection A Slice of Summer. It’s one of my all-time favorite collections and I am always reaching for little bits and pieces of it to create with….it’s a must-have.

First, I have one of her new cherry cards. How cute is this?! It is the Cherry Carton A2 Shaped Card or you can find it here in the Silhouette Design Store. I just love this little card, it’s so bright and cheery! I used sketch pens to outline the basket, kind of hard to see here, and little hearts onto a couple of the cherries!

My next card continues with the fruit theme… this fun A2 Shaped Strawberry Card in Lori’s shop or here in the Silhouette Design Store. Love the little hearts in the design of this file, so cute. I added some stitch lines with a sketch pen to the top of the strawberry and a couple of stickers from the Slice of Summer collection. The perfect summer cards.

There are several strawberry and cherry card designs to choose from, go check them out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there friends! Have you seen all the new cherry themed projects in Loris’s store yet? So darling! Let’s make the new Box Card Cherry Carton (SVG, Silhouette-soon to be in the store!).

I used papers from the Down on the Farm Collection by Echo Park Paper Co. Once I had everything cut out, I inked the edge of the cherries, flower, and decorative panels. I then glued the all the panels and cherries in place. The first insert has four cherries, and the second insert has three. The two tabs on the ends of the box pieces are mountain folds and then glued together creating the box.

Now to add the inserts. The tabs are valley folds, and the glue is applied to the outside of the tab (the side that is going against the inside of the box card). I lined up the front of the tabs with the front of the inside of the box and the top of the tabs with the top of the box card.
