Hi Everyone! It’s time for the Lori Whitlock/Paper Issues August Off the Page Challenge over in the Paper Issues Friends and Fans Facebook Group!  This month’s challenge is all about the summer and the beach! We are looking for all of your paper projects with a summer or beach theme… Beach parties, pool party, picnics, Shells, sand and surf!  Vacation themed projects as well!…  Mini albums, cards, favors, banners, gifts, décor… any paper project that isn’t a traditional layout will work!  Of course we want you to use Lori’s files!  For my project, I used the 3D Sandcastle file  from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.
 
 We are having a “shipping off to college” party for my daughter in a couple of weeks, and I thought this would be cute to hold some salt water taffy for the guests!   Here are some close ups…

 

 
Be sure to play along with this challenge by posting your project in the August Challenges Album in the  Paper Issues Friends and Fans Facebook Group in the comments under this project.  Each project posted will give you an entry to win a $10 Gift Card to the Paper Issues Store!  You have until September 5th to enter!  I can’t wait to see what you create!

4th of July Party with Lori’s New Sizzix Dies

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today here to share a fun 4th of July Party set I created using Lori’s new Sizzix Dies!  Take a peek…

I started with the new Hello Doily Sizzix Thinlets Set to make my banner.  I simply layered two of the doilies and folded them over a piece of twine to create the banner.  It would be so cute in a doorway or along a table edge!

Next I set together to make some fun serving items.  I used the oh so versatile Mix and Match Flowers Thinlets to decorate some serving items including the napkin holder, the bucket and Straw…

The label on the milk bottle is from the new Perfect Labels Thinlets Set, I thought it would be good to let folks label their drinks to keep the bottles from getting mixed up!  The butterflies on both the bottle and the bucket can be found in the Butterfly Lantern Thinlets Set.  I think this might be my favorite set!  Check out the adorable little lantern you can make using it!

You can fit a tiny electronic tea light into the lantern, to light up your night time table!  That’s it for me today, make sure to check out all of Lori’s Sizzix Dies over on the Sizzix Website here.  You won’t be disappointed!

 
Papers Used:

Echo Park Pinstripes
Echo Park Petticoats
Echo Park Little Man

 

 

 

 

Mason Jar Sunflower Box Card with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with a fun card to share, the Mason Jar Sunflower Box Card.  (here in the Silhouette Store).  Take a peek:

I used the Happy Summer Collection from Echo Park for the papers and stickers.  I did change the card a little to suit my needs, first I added the heart and letter stickers to the front for the “label”, and I added a pocket to the back of the card to hold a gift card (the pocket was taken from the Apple Gift Card Holder)

The card really goes together easily.  If you need some guidance, check out Lori’s Box Card Video here.  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
