5×7 House Card

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!

Princess Castle Box Card Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. Have you seen Lori’s new Our Little Princess collection from Echo Park Paper?  There are lots of coordinating die cuts that you can use to create a truly special card for your little princess. I love making dimensional cards so I selected the Castle 3 Box Card (SVGSilhouette).

Let me show you how easy it is to put together.

  1. Cut out pieces with your electronic cutter. You can use the print and cut feature for the sentiment on the back of the card or use a sticker from the collection. If the pattern paper you are using is different colors on the front and back, you will want to cut 2 of the castle backs that the sentiment piece is adhered to. This is so when viewed from the front, it is the same color as the rest of the card.

  2. Glue the black cardstock pieces behind the windows and door. Use coordinating ink to ink the edges of the paper to add dimension.

  3. Assemble the card front panel, the back panel, and the 2 castle inserts.

  4. Glue the card base to create a rectangle and then adhere the card front and back panels to the base.

  5. Add the box card inserts and then embellish with stickers from the Our Little Princess collection.

This card folds completely flat for mailing (A7 envelope) and is sure to bring a smile to the lucky recipient’s face. Be sure to check out all the other castle cut files in Lori’s store too.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

A Card for a Princess

Every gal wants to be a Princess!  Isn’t that the truth?!  I still wake up in morning wishing someone would bring me my morning coffee in bed.  I can’t complain though as I am greeted by French Bulldog kisses….so in my own way that’s almost as good as being a princess.

I created today’s card with a brand new collection from Lori for Echo Park.  Our Little Princess is just the sweetest collection.  The colors are so soft and all the amazing little details to the paper.  The embellishments are swoon worthy.  So for this card, I went heavy on embellishments.  I just couldn’t resist them.  One of my favorite parts of designing, is really being able to showcase the amazing products that Lori designs.  So 100% of the time, I look at one of her SVG files and then at one of her collections….and just start creating!   I absolutely love being to design this way.  The sweet dragon in the Our Little Princess collection is my favorite and I know my little grand daughter will adore this card, even though she is already a Princess.

I used this card for the base of my design:  Box Card Envelope Castle (SVG, Silhouette). You can see how that file sparked my idea for this card.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a great day!
