Today, I’m excited to share the “Hidden Binding Mini Album Flower” file from Lori Whitlock. I also used the beautiful paper collection “Our Groovy Summer” by Lori. This easy mini album would be great for Mothers Day. Fill the mini album with thoughts and photos for that extra special gift! Links below:
Happy crafting!

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay, and I’m here today sharing my first ever tutorial for the Lori Whitlock design team. I am so excited to share my projects with you. I use my electronic cutting machines (yes, plural!) on a daily basis. For today’s project, I have created the most adorable card using the Box Card Hedgehog Tulips file (svg, silhouette). I used the You Are My Sunshine collection from Echo Park and some additional cardstock.
After cutting all of the pieces, I started assembling the card in sections. First up is the hedgehog. I used brown ink to distress the edges of each piece. I used liquid adhesive to add the black oval behind the face of the hedgehog, then adhered the face layer onto the cream layer. After that, I assembled the small flower and added the arms to the hedgehog. I then used foam adhesive to attach the body of the hedgehog to the dark brown layer. Finally, the entire animal is adhered to the green base layer. I folded along the scored tabs and added strong tape to either side.
The next section is the tulips. Using liquid adhesive, I added the grass/leaves layer first. Next, I assembled each flower and adhered to the green base piece. I folded along the scored tabs and added strong tape to either side. It helps to have the sample image pulled up on Lori’s website. That way you can zoom in and piece the flowers together easily.
The final section is the box portion of the card. It is two large pieces that will come together to form the box. I added floral patterned paper as a cute accent. I assembled all of the flowers and adhered them with foam adhesive just under the grass border. I added a sentiment sticker that says “Sending Sunshine.” Then I folded along the score lines and added strong tape to each tab.
Now it’s time to put it all together. I connected the two box pieces, peeling just one tab, to create one long strip. I did not adhere the final tab just yet. Once I had the box shape in place, I added the tulip layer. I peeled off the tape on only one side and lined up the tabs so that they touched the back of the box card. Next, I peeled the tape off one side of the hedgehog layer and adhered the tab directly in front of the tulips section. I peeled off the other side of the tulip and hedgehog sections and attached them to the side of the box. Finally, I closed the outer box card. I’ve added an image that shows what the bottom of the card looks like. You can see how the sections stack on top of each other like tables.
The end result is an adorable card that will fold flat into an envelope! You could easily tuck a gift card behind the hedgehog and use this for a birthday card.
I hope this inspires you to create today. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Spring!

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I have a tutorial to share with you today for the A2 Birthday Presents Wish Card (SVG, Silhouette). This cut file can be found in Lori’s store along with some new 5×7 Pop-up cards with the same inside blocks that pop up when the card is opened. I used pattern papers from Lori’s Birthday Boy collection as well as coordinating cardstock from my stash. The front of the card looks like any normal card. I added a few die-cut ephemera to go along with the birthday presents from the cut file.
Let me show you how this card is assembled.
1. Choose your papers and cut all pieces out. I used the Silhouette print and cut feature to get the sentiment Sending you a Birthday printed on my white Neenah cardstock. I like to ink the edges of some of my pieces especially if the paper has a white core. Inking the edges also adds depth.
2. Let’s assemble the inside of the card first. Adhere your colored squares between the cut lines. Fold the big squares out and the thinner base of the card in. Using a bone folder to get a good crease really helps. Fold the card base in half on the scored line as well.
4. Apply glue to the white cardstock and fold the card closed. Flip the card base over and repeat adhering the other side to the card base.
5. Assemble the birthday presents for the front of the card. Adhere the front panel to the card base. Use the birthday presents alone, or add other fun birthday die-cut ephemera.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out Lori’s Store for more amazing cut files.

Memorydex Cards have really made a comeback this year in the scrapping world, so I thought I would join in and create a bit. I used Lori’s new Echo Park collection Life Is Beautiful. Beautiful patterned papers, tons of embellishments, including puffy stickers. It was so much fun to play with this beautiful collection. I added my cards to a Heidi Swapp Memory Dex Spinner but Lori has a super cute Memory Dex box you can make, you can find it here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Store.

Hi everyone! I have the cutest card to share with you today. Lori recently added this 5×7 House Card (SVG, Silhouette) to her shop. This house card is so fun. I created this one with Lori’s Our Little Princess paper collection.
I added some embellishments that are also part of the Our Little Princess collection. Enjoy and have a great week!
