Bee Happy Tutorial with Guest Designer Lorrie Nunemaker

Hello everyone!

It’s Lorri Nunmaker, and I’m so excited to be a guest on LoriWhitlock.com.  I was a part of the Lori Whitlock design team for a couple of years, and was so excited to be offered a guest blog post.  Lori’s products have always been super inspiring!

Today, I am happy to share with you a tutorial for this “Bee Happy” card.  When I started thinking about what I would like to create for this post, I instantly knew I wanted to use the Lori Whitlock “Fine and Dandy” paper line for Echo Park Paper, which led me to this card.

I created this card in Cricut Design Space, and then cut the card base and elements with my Cricut Explore.  I just love how the papers went with this theme.  Here’s a video tutorial for the card set up in Design Space.  Have a great day!

Files Used:

2 Nested Shapes
3 Bugs
Mega Flower Collection
Nested Scalloped Circle
Square Center Step Card-School


Thanking the Best Teacher

When you literally have no time and HAVE to throw a card together, Lori Whitlock comes to the rescue with thousands of designs and design elements that can save the day and make you look like a PRO!

All this card took was some patterned paper with a school theme and one of Lori’s designs. I used Cricut Design Space to upload the images, flatten the elements and use the print then cut function to put together my card.

After uploading my files, I flattened the images I wanted to print, then cut.

It’s a simple card, but it took no more than 15 minutes and I didn’t have to go out and buy one.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
