Card Sets by Christine and an International Giveaway

Please give Christine a warm welcome on the blog today! She has created an adorable card set sure to make anyone happy. Take it away Christine…
I love giving sets of cards as gifts and I like when I have a cute box to put them in.  This Stationary Box is the perfect solution.  It’s very easy to put together and you can decorate it for any occasion.  I used the Sweet Girl paper collection to cut it out, and the Layered Flowers Set 2 to decorate the front.

The box doesn’t have a handle to cut out so I decided to make my own from washi tape.  There are 3 different patterns in the Sweet Girl collection and I chose the light yellow one.  To make the handle I tore off a long piece probably about 20 inches long and did my best to keep it laying down on my desk, sticky side up.  Then I took another piece approximately the same length and stuck to the other piece so they were back to back.  The washi tape makes a really cute little handle that is strong but flexible and also matches perfectly.  After the handle was put together, I folded back the edge on both ends, punched a hole in these double layered ends with a 1/16 inch hole punch and then put a brad through the holes.  I also prepunched holes in the sides of the box so that the brads are secure inside.

Here is a closeup of the Layered Flowers.  I used some foam adhesive under some of the layers to get them dimension.  I really love the way they turned out.  I know these are files that I will be using over and over again.
Here is a card that I made to go along with the set.  The box will hold many other cards plus envelopes.  I’ll have to get busy to fill it up.  For my card, I used the 3×4 Quote Cards as the focal point.  I use these cards in my Project Life layouts but I wanted to challenge myself to use them in a different way.  I really like that it makes a perfect background for the card’s sentiment.  (Please excuse the spots on my card.  My digital camera needs to be cleaned.)
Thanks for stopping by.  I’ll be posting more pictures of my project on my blog here.

February Blog Hop

Have you missed seeing our Creative Team goodness this week? Well, we have a lot of talent to share with you today. Lori has recently released some double page layouts in both SVG and Digital Scrapbooking/PSD format. I want you to see what you can do with these different files and our creative team has so happily obliged, told you they were the best.

First the SVG’s, these files are designed to be used with Silhouette machines and can be found here in Lori’s shop. After opening the file you will see how the layout is assembled. Ungroup the pieces, sort and cut from your favorite pattern paper/cardstock. Assemble all pieces onto background paper (not included in cutting file) and VOILA, a beautiful layout to add to your scrapbook. Pieces can be moved around and placed/used any way your heart desires.

SVG FILES in Lori’s Shop

IF you are not a die cut kind of paper crafter, these files also come as digital scrapbooking kits, and are found at here at Jessica Sprague . They have been created as layered PSD’s, which means you can use the pieces as clipping masks in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop. These are ready for you to add your favorite pattern papers, ribbons and photos and the layouts are done.

PSD FILES in the Jessica Sprague Store

We created these layouts with the idea that you could throw these into your Project Life albums and mix it up a bit. The smaller photos slots are 3×4, which is a perfect fit for any of Lori’s Life Cards in her shop both here and at Jessica Sprague.

Without further ado, please let me show you the order of our blog hop today. These ladies are truly amazing and have shown you different ways to use these layouts, both digital format and SVG’s.  When you are done be sure to come back here and leave a comment so you can be entered in our drawing for a $20 gift card to Lori’s shop. She has amazing shapes there and more coming each week.

Christmas Traditions with Mendi

Today Mendi has an adorable layout showcasing her Christmas traditions. Thanks for giving us a sneak peek.

Mendi says, “For this layout I had so much fun using Lori’s shapes in unexpected ways to work perfectly for me.  I was able to transform a Valentine’s day border and give it a Christmas spin.  For my title, I pieced together three of Lori’s separate titles to create a completely new phrase to match what I had envisioned in my head.  Lastly I took a basic label shape and enlarged it to serve as my page background.  It’s so rewarding when you can get extra mileage out of the shapes you’ve purchased!  I hope I have inspired you to play with your cutting files and look at them in a new light.” 

 

As always Mendi, this is beautiful. Be sure to check out her blog as she has pictures and info on her blog.

Are You Ready for Christmas?

I have some eye candy to share with you, but before I show you, I want to tell you about our Happy Holidays Sale. So you can buy all the shapes you see here, and in the shop, for 25% off your $5 or more order. What a great Christmas present for yourself. I do that sometimes, do you? Better yet, grab some cute packaging for your gift cards and small gifts. I loved the reaction I got last week from my parents when I gave them presents in the “Gift Card Holder Horizontal”. They loved the packaging almost more than their birthday gifts, which made the present even better.

Today Natalie shares some beautiful projects with us as we near Christmas. I have loved seeing our Creative Team’s projects this month. They have all been amazing. Each day I think this one is the best, but then I get another project. I can not pick my favorite. I want one of each, todays projects included. Natalie has used the “Gift Card Holder Horizontal” and “Gift Card Holder Vertical.”

“Gingerbread House Treat Box”

Natalie created a digital Daily December album then made this cute cover from paper and SVG files from the shop.

Natalie has so many more pictures and information on her blog, so be sure you go check them out.
