Perpetual Celebration Calendar Tutorial

Happy Thursday Everyone:

Anita here today with a tutorial for a Perpetual Celebration Calendar.  I have a perpetual calendar which I have been using for years and wanted to replace it with something more fun.  I decided to buy a rolodex and found some great files in Lori’s store that I used to create the pages for my calendar.  I used Memorydex Scalloped Cards (SVG, Silhouette) and used all three included shapes.  Male birthdays got the rectangle shape which can be found in the 4 Cute Tags file (SVG, Silhouette).  I  used 4 Scalloped Shapes (SVG, Silhouette) as the date reminder tags that went on the female birthday cards.  And I used the Nested Hearts file (SVG, Silhouette) for the anniversary cards. For the files without the punch holes in the bottom, I used a memorydex punch to add them.   Please note that each card also has an extra layer on the back of cardstock to give it a bit more stability and to help it to be more stable on the rolodex holder as it spins.

I used the Memorydex Box and Cards (SVG, Silhouette) for the month tab cards.  You can find a tutorial to make the Memorydex Box and Cards here on Lori’s blog.  I also used the Month 4X6 Journaling Cards (SVG, Silhouette)  I resized them to fit on the card and then cut them out.  I did my editing of this file on my Silhouette.   I decorated the cards with ephemera from my stash.

That’s it for me today.  I love how this came out and now each  month I get to flip the pages to see who I will be celebrating that month.

Hugs,

Anita

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.

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
