Sending Hugs Floral Envelope Box Card

Hello friends! Do you know someone that could use a pick me up? Marcia here today. Sending hugs with this cute Flower Envelope Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) really lets people know you care. I created this card using the new Echo Park Paper Farmer’s Market collection.

The sentiment that comes with this cut file was for a birthday. It is easy to substitute a different sentiment using stamps to suit your needs. You can also add ephemera die cuts and swap out the flower centers with enamel dots to add more dimension.

Check out all the other envelope box cards in Lori’s shop. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Shadow Box Card Friends

 

Anita here with a card that I made for a dear friend who is moving away to be closer to her daughter and be in a warmer climate.  I wanted to give her a special card which reflected the importance of her friendship to me.  I made this 5X7 Shadow Box Card Friends which you can find here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used one of Lori’s new Echo Park Paper collections called A Slice of Summer to piece it together.  This card folds flat for mailing and is sure to add some cheer to a friend’s day.

If you need help with assembly, Lori has a video here.  That’s it for me today.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.  Be sure to check out Lori’s other beautiful friendship cards.

Hugs,

Anita

Library Pocket Card Sailboat and matching Gift Box

Hello Everyone:

Anita here with a fun project which Lori designed recently called Library Pocket Card Sailboat.  You can find the file here in her SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I also made the matching Gift Box Sailboat which you can find here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used some of Lori’s Echo Park Paper collections for this project including All Boy, My Favorite Christmas and I Love Summer.  I used the print and cut feature for the library card itself.  I’m sure my nephew will love his box which I will also put some treats into for him.

This is a photo of the gift box by itself.

Here is a photo of the gift box with the card inside.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita

Iris Shutter Card Tutorial

How are you today? Around the world this week, most of us are working and/or staying at home. Guess what, crafters?  It is time to use your stash!  All those items you have been saving–this is it.  This is the time to use it!!  Lori recently released these fun Iris Cards.  She has 2 video tutorials to help you make them.  This video is the first with paper only, and this tutorial uses mini brads.  The cards are available in the Silhouette Design Store individually and in Lori’s SVG Shop individually and in Bundles.

5×7 Iris Shutter Card Bundle
A2 Iris Shutter Card Birthday Bundle

I have made several of these cards, and I just love them.  I’m going to inspire you today with ways you can personalize them.

5×7 Iris Shutter Card Camera: SVG, Silhouette

For this Camera Card, I though it would be so cute to add a picture.  Have you heard of the front porch project?  Photographers that are participating, stop at your house, and take pics of you while staying at least 6 feet away.  This would be a great way to send a pic to a loved one.  To do this in Cricut Design Space:

1. Open the Camera Card File

2. Ungroup the card pieces

3. Draw a circle that is 2.36″ using the shapes tool.

4. Upload a photo, and select your preferred image type option, click continue then save as print then cut image.  Insert this image onto the mat with your circle.

5. Resize your photo to fit the 2.36 circle.

6. Layer the circle on top of the photo.  Make sure the circle doesn’t hang off any edge of the picture.

7. Select both the photo and circle, right mouse click and select slice.

8. Delete the part of the picture you don’t need as well as the circle you drew.

9. Layer the photo over the heart and starburst on the card base.  Once it is lined up, delete the heart and starburst.

10. Select the photo circle and the rectangular white card, and select flatten.

11. Don’t forget to flatten the sentiments as well.

Now print then cut your photo and sentiments and cut all the other pieces of the card to assemble.

 

 

Here are some of the other iris cards that I have made:

5×7 Iris Shutter Card Flower SVG, Silhouette

A2 Iris Shutter Card Birthday Donut  SVG, Silhouette

5×7 Iris Shutter Card Camera: SVG, Silhouette

This one has a foiled heart.  I changed the red heart to black before I printed with my laser printer, then foiled it. These cards are so fun.  Personalize them, and send them off.

Enjoy crafting!

Twist Pop Card with a Twist

Today I am sharing a “twist” on a twist pop card file.  Lori has several Twist Pop Card styles.  You can use any one of them to make this project.  These are the files I used.

Twist Pop Card Thank You (SVG, Silhouette)
Library Pockets (SVG, Silhouette and Silhouette)

I resized the library pockets to fit on the pop out piece where the word KIND is in the above card.  I cut out all the pieces and assembled the card using Lori’s tutorial found here. I then added the pockets. In addition, I made an insert card for each pocket.  And this is how it turned out.

I also decorated the front and back of the card.

 

I used papers and stickers from Lori’s Forward with Faith Collection from Echo Park.

I am writing a message on the card inserts, but you could also fill the pockets with money or gift cards!

Have a great day!
