Birthday Tag With Ashley

Today I am sharing a fun Birthday tag.  I am making 100 of these tags, so I altered a card file to make some tags. I used just the cut out part to create a tag.  The birthday card can be found here or in the Silhouette store.

I used the Silhouette print and cut function to print first, then I foiled, then cut the tags.  You could also print in color.

That’s a lot of fun tags coming up.  Have a great day!

5 X 7 Lace Edge Card Tutorial with Anita

 

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a fun and easy tutorial to make this lace edge card which you can use for any occasion that you need a pretty card .  You can find the file that I used called Lace Edge 3 here in Lori’s SVG store and here in the Silhouette Design store.  As you will see there are many different styles to choose from.  I used Lori’s new fabulous Echo Park collection called Celebrate Winter.  Planning to send this off to a friend with warm winter wishes.

Here are the three pieces that you will be cutting out using your preferred electronic cutter.  The card base, the insert and the pocket that holds the insert.

Place your card in front of you with the fold on the left.  Fold on the score lines on the card and also on the pocket.  Next you will glue the pocket to the right side of the card putting glue only on the tabs.  This photo shows the pocket completed and the insert inside.  Below is another shot which has the insert half way out so that you can see it.

This card goes together so easily and as you see can be used for whatever occasion you want.  You could even slip a gift card, cash or check in the pocket with your sentiment as well.  That’s it for me today.

Hugs,

Anita

Merry Christmas Eve Family Pajama Shirts

Happy Christmas Eve! I hope that you have everything ready for Christmas. And if not, never fear, you have a few more hours of last minute shopping, wrapping, crafting! Today my family will open matching pajamas.  I added reindeer to the shirts to give them that special custom flare.  You can find this reindeer in the SVG shop and Silhouette Design store.

The font is Lori’s Longhand Font. In the Silhouette Store.  In Silhouette Studio, you can curve text to a shape.  While you have your text box selected drag the circle to the shape you’d like to curve it to.  Move it around a bit until it’s in the right spot.

I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas Eve and a very Merry Christmas!

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

 

Anita here with a fun tutorial to make this gift set.  I love to quilt and embroider as much as I love to paper craft and I was thrilled to recently discover that Lori Whitlock has embroidery files that she has designed, many of which mirror her paper craft SVG files.  You can find her gorgeous embroidery files at Embroidery Online.  I will give you all the links in the post .

I bought shrink film from Amazon and used Lori’s Print & Cut Stamps Christmas Cookies which you can find here in her store .  I resized the image of the gingerbread man so that it would come out the size that I wanted.  I then printed the image onto the shrink film through my laser printer.  Just let it dry for a few minutes before coloring it.

I then used my Copic markers to color the shrink film.  I knew that the colors would deepen once I shrunk the image so chose my colors with that in mind.  I used R37, E11, G14, G07, E99 for the gingerbread man and Y08, E99, R37, G07 for the Gingerbread house.  Be sure to punch a hole in your shrink film before you put it in the oven and remember that the hole shrinks also.  The directions say to bake the film on parchment at 300 degrees for 2-3 minutes but I found that my heat gun worked much better as I could control the plastic as it shrank.  Below is the before picture.

Here is the photo of the shrink plastic after it was  done.

I went to Embroidery online and bought the bundle which had all the Christmas embroidery files that I wanted to use for this project.  It is called Christmas Time by Lori Whitlock.  You can buy the collection or the individual embroidery files.  I embroidered the phrase It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas on a piece cotton.  I then finished the edges and glued it to the front of my tote.  I also embroidered my daughter-in-law’s name on the top of the apron as this set is for her.  She is an amazing baker.

I then strung my two adorable gingerbread embellishments on some yummy twine, added a bell and glued that down as well.

I really love to match things and  have been so excited to make this project.  Here is a close up of all the goodies that I put inside the basket.

The last thing that I did was made a card that used the SVG cut file which matched the embroidery.  I used Lori’s new Christmas collection called Celebrate Christmas.  The cut file can be found here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette store and is called Look a lot Like Christmas Phrase.
That’s it for me.  Hope that you have a wonderful holiday season.

Hugs,

Anita
