Lori has so many fun new shapes. I wish my daughter was still little so we could make paper dolls and store them in her adorable Armoire box. Wouldn’t that be the cutest?

Card Making Tutorial by Corri

 Welcome! We are so excited to share with you our new Thursday Tutorials. We have had so many questions, we thought we would start a collection of answers and tips here. Today we have Corri sharing one of her perfected skills. Take it away Corri…

One of the most popular cards that I’ve done is this cupcake card I did last year.

I thought I would share a tutorial to show you all how to weld shapes to create your own shape card.

First, select a shape you would like to use to create your card.  It’s best if the top of the shape is simple to allow for a clean weld and crease along the top.

I used this cupcakes file to create my card. I resized the file to 11.75″h so that my completed card would be about 5″h.

Next, ungroup and delete the pieces you don’t need.

Drag the cupcake top and wrapper off the mat and position the cupcake base layer in the lower left corner of your mat.

Click on the cupcake shape, then on the menus along the top of your screen select object, pull down to duplicate then select replicate above.

Now you have two identical shapes stacked on top of each other.  Click on the top cupcake to select it.

Then go to object, transform, flip vertically.

While the top cupcake is still selected, use the arrow keys to move it down a little until the edges overlap slightly.  Select both cupcake shapes (you can hold down the shift key to add the second shape to your selection) and then go back to the object menu.  Pull down to select Modify and then Weld.

Now you have your card base….just fold and cut out the remaining layers and embellish.

For my card today, I used Echo Park  All about a Boy.  I left off the heart and cut a number 5 instead using Lori’s Happy Font instead.

Everyone loves cupcakes and you can personalize this cute card for any age depending on the the papers and embellishements you choose.

Miss Natalie Graham always has something super crafty and so cute up her sleeve. She’s created some “candy pouches” for her kids to give their friends for Christmas. What an awesome and inexpensive idea!! Here’s what Natalie has to say…

“I was trying to think of who was left on my list to figure out what to give and I  was reminded from my kids that they wanted to give something to their friends from school and church!  So I had seen something like this and thought, it would be much cuter with something die cut, and not to mention easier – so here are my Candy gift pouches.”

“This set of “cookies” was made with plain brown paper wrapping paper I picked up at the dollar store. I cut two bases with my cricut, then started sewing them around.  When you are about three quarters around – stuff the candy inside, then continue sewing until it is all sewn around – then I add the cute decorations all made from pattern paper.  I made this a set of four, since it is a gift for a cute family we know that has four kids – it will be from my kids to them.  So I wrapped them up together with string and added a tag.”

How CUTE… you just tear right into them to find the secret stash of treats!

Here’s what you’ll need:
Kraft wrapping paper (it’s thinner than cardstock which makes it easier to tear into them!)
Christmas wrapping paper
Cookie: Christmas Cookie Set by Lori Whitlock
Christmas Countdown by Kerri Bradford

And TODAY ONLY, the gift that Natalie used is available for FREE!!
