Sympathy Cards

Happy Columbus Day Everyone:

Anita here with a set of sympathy cards that I made for a dear friend who lost her uncle recently and he was a significant person in her life.  I love how elegant these are.  I used Lori’s file called Sympathy Card Thoughts Prayers which you can find here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  The second card is called Sympathy Card Comfort Strength Hope and you can find that one here in Lori’s SVG store and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used one of Lori’s new Echo Park Paper collections called Our Wedding.  The card file comes with an insert that you can put behind the card front but I liked the colors showing through the designs.

 

Lori has cards for every occasion and in these times when you may be choosing to stay closer to home, you can still keep in touch with your family and friends.

Hugs,

Anita

Shutter Card Fox

Hi! As we move into the fall season in some parts of the world, we reach for fall colors. Foxes seem to match right along with the seasonal decor. I’m sharing today Lori’s Fox Shutter Card–SVG, Silhouette.

I used Lori’s My Favorite Fall Collection from Echo Park Paper.

Enjoy the holiday!

State Heart Dingbat Tutorial

Today I’m going to show you a fun way to use Lori’s State Dingbat Font (Silhouette Store) for a baby body suit.  Start by opening Silhouette Studio and typing a letter using the font.  Most of the States will be their first letter, either lowercase or capital.

You can see in the above image the state of Utah on the mat, in the font the states and hearts have a double line.  To delete this select your state, right mouse click and then select ungroup, and then release compound path.  Now you can delete one of the outlines of the state and heart.

Now resize for the project.  I made the heart a little bit smaller for my project.  For my words  I used another of Lori’s fonts–Longhand, Silhouette Store.  I typed the words “made in” and welded them together and resized.  The design is ready to cut.

Since I used Heat Transfer Vinyl,I cut the mirror image and then applied it to the bodysuit.

 

This is such a fun personalized gift to give new babies. Enjoy!

Pop Up Box Card Wedding Hearts

Hi:

Anita here with a card I made for my best friend’s daughter who just got engaged.  I love the pop up box cards.  They look so cool when they are open and they fold flat to mail.  There are so many different card styles to choose from in Lori’s store.  I used one of Lori’s new collection called Forward with Faith from Echo Park.  You can find the cute file which is called Pop Up Box Card Wedding Hearts here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette store.

Here is the card folded and ready to mail.  Be sure to check out Lori’s store for all your summer celebration needs.

Hugs,

Anita

Pop Out Birthday Card with Ashley

Hi Everyone, Today I’m sharing the new Pop Out Birthday card. Such a fun card to send and easy to assemble!

Image 1

You can find this card in Lori’s shop and in the Silhouette Store.  

When you open this file in Cricut Design Space, there are a few steps to take before you cut.

1. Ungroup the file.

2. Optional: I changed out the dashed cut lines to score lines.  To do this, select the score line which is grouped in Shapes. Align the score line with the dashed cut line and resize as necessary.  Repeat for all the score lines on the white layer.

3. Group the 3 score lines  you created and delete the original dashed cut lines.

4. Select the score lines and the white card and then select Attach.

5. Repeat the processwith the blue card–replace dashed cut line with Score Line, Attach the the Score line with the blue card.

6. Now you are ready to cut.

You don’t have to replace the dashed lines if you are not using a Cricut Scoring wheel or scoring tool.  The dashed lines will be cut instead of scored.  But you will still need to attach the dashed lines to the appropriate layer.

Once you’ve cut the two card pieces, simply adhere the pop out portion of the card to the base, careful not to glue under the pop out section.  Then decorate the front.

  I used paper from Lori’s Spring Fling Collection with Echo Park.  Have a great day!
