Reverse Canvas With Ashley

September 20, 2018September 18, 2018

Reverse canvas projects have been floating around. Have you made one yet? You start with a canvas that can be found at your favorite craft store, and you unstaple the canvas from the frame.

Next pick your favorite Lori Whitlock file from her shop or the Silhouette Design Store.

Get to work making your design in your software. I used these files: World Where there are Octobers ( Silhouette, SVG); Pumpkins (Silhouette, SVG) ; Decorative Pumpkins (Silhouette, SVG), 3 Pumpkins (Silhouette, SVG) Flourish (Silhouette, SVG)

I laid down the canvas, then the frame, then placed all the Heat Transfer cut files and arranged them. Now they are ready to iron on.

I painted the frame and stapled the canvas to the back.

I’m ready for October (well maybe) with this fun Anne Shirley inspired project.

Give Thanks Pumpkin Card

November 2, 2017November 2, 2017

Hi, Crafty Friends!! Creative Team Member, Mitsyana Wright, here. It’s a new month and I’m not going to lie, I’m missing Halloween already. It’s ok, I have lots to look forward to and lots to be thankful for. And speaking of thankful… Today, I’m bringing you this Give Thanks, Pumpkin Card.

Let me show you how I made it…

Here are the supplies you need:

Pumpkin Mini Album (here in the Silhouette Store)
Give Thanks (here in the Silhouette Store)
Patterned Cardstock (Autumn Leaves Stack- DCWV)
Xyron Creative Station
Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Vintage Photo
Hemp Twine
Glue Pen

I used Lori Whitlock’s Pumpkin Mini Album to create my card base.

I opened the SVG file using my ecal software.

Then “UNGROUP”ed the holes from that are in the pumpkin base and files.

Then, I cut and pasted the window base onto a new page.

I made a mirror image then slightly had them overlap at the center. Then I highlighted the whole and “WELDED” the two pumpkins together.

Once the welded pumpkins were cut, I used my bone folder to crease my card.

Then I die cut the panel pieces, stem, and accessories that come with the file.

Next, I ran the patterned paper through my Xyron Creative Station Lite. Then I inked up the edges with Tim Holtz’ in Vintage Photo. Then All I simply did was peel and stick! Easy-Peasy!!

I also used Lori Whitlock’s Give Thanks Title for my cards sentiment.

I sized it to fit the pumpkin cover in my ecal software. Then opened a new window and cut and pasted it there.

After cutting these words out, I left them in their negative space and inked the edges. Keeping them in the negative space helps to reduce bends and tears.

I used a glue pen to attached my sentiment onto the front cover.

Then, I added the leaves and button. I fastened them together with hemp twine.

I also used a micron pen to add details to the words and swirls for a little definition.

And here is my finished card…

Now, it’s ready to give to someone I am very thankful for…

It’s so hard to choose!! I’m going to have to make more!! There are too many people I am incredibly thankful for! I guess that is a good problem to have!

Hope you all enjoyed my project for today!! See you soon!!

3D Pumpkin with Kathy

October 30, 2017October 25, 2017

Hi Everyone! It’s Kathy today with a cute 3D Pumpkin, perfect for Fall and Halloween gift giving or decorating! Take a peek…

I used Lori’s 3D Pumpkin Short (here in the Silhouette Store) to make this adorable box. This box also comes in medium and tall (here and here in the Silhouette Store.) Lori also has great assembly directions for these pumpkins here. The best part, the pumpkin opens up to hold some goodies!

This would make a fabulous gift for a friend or coworker. It would also make a great seasonal centerpiece! That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Layout by Mendi + Canvas by Traci

September 30, 2013September 25, 2013

Today we have two beautiful projects to share with you by Mendi and Traci. First to share with you is Mendi.

I’m so excited to finally be sharing this layout today! I actually started this one back in May and was just waiting for the perfect moment to share it between all the Summer and Fall themed occasions. For this project I turned to my all time favorite collection of Lori’s called Summer Days which she designed for Echo Park, along with a number of her awesome cutting files.

I’ve had this photo of my daughter in my photo box for nearly 4 years waiting for the perfect rainbow inspired layout to use it on. As soon as I saw Lori’s doily cutting files I knew it would be so much fun to cut each one from a different color for a clean and simple layout. I love the way they look cut from the different solid colors from the collection!

If these shapes look like a bit of fun to cut out, you would be correct. They definitely leave their fair share of confetti on your cutting mat so make sure to have a scraper or old gift card handy to get all these little guys off. These beautiful doilies were more than worth the tiny bit of extra effort though. 😉

To complete my layout I used the following cutting files available for purchase in Lori’s Shop:

Next up we have Traci with a beautiful wall hanging.

Happy Fall everyone! Do you love this time of year as much as I do? The colors of the leaves, the cooler temperatures, the sweaters … love sweaters! I have a great home decor piece to share with you today since fall is officially here. Lori’s 6×8 Canvas set is such a fun project and so versatile — you could make one for each season! The cutting file comes with even more than you see here — not only are the two hanging “canvases” included, but 4 different mat shaped backgrounds are also in the file! You could hang two like I’ve done here, or hang three, or even more!

The paper collection is one of my favorites this season — Echo Park’s Reflections Fall, designed by Lori.

I also love Lori’s title “A Thankful Heart is a Happy Heart“. You can find it with 4 other fall titles in Lori’s shop, or in the Silhouette shop.

Thanks for letting me share this canvas wall hanging with you! Please stop by my blog and say hello today! I’ll be giving away a $10 Silhouette download card to one lucky winner!

Have a wonderful week!
