I have always meant to make one of the Lori Whitlock sliceform cards, but honestly they looked so intimidating. Well…. let me tell you, they are really easy to put together! Surprise, surprise. I should have known Lori wouldn’t do that to me! Her files are always top notch.

You can follow her YouTube tutorial HERE. This card was easy to assemble by following her video instructions.

I hope you enjoyed this card and give the sliceform files a go!

Butterfly Mini Album Tutorial

March 21, 2024March 20, 2024

Hey friends! Traci here and today, I have a new project for spring. Last Thursday was National Butterfly Day and I realized … I’ve never made a mini album in the shape of a butterfly! So, with the help of two amazing Lori Whitlock cutting files, I created a super cute little butterfly scrapbook. Take a look …

Butterfly Shaped Scrapbook Mini Album Tutorial

I chose the first cut file titled Butterfly Set (Silhouette) because it had the perfect wings, however it didn’t have the separate body piece that I needed. So I found a second file called Shaped Card Butterfly (Silhouette) & used them both!

Butterfly Shaped Scrapbook Mini Album with cut-outs

I loved the delicate patterned cut-outs in the wings and thought it would be pretty backed with some colorful papers. I also added a few gems for sparkle.

Let’s take a quick look inside, then I’ll walk you through the steps of how I made it …

I used the file to cut white card stock pages, then covered them in a mix of 12×12 pattern papers from Bella Blvd’s Birthday Bash and Bella Besties Hearts and Ombre.

I created photo mats for each page in varying shapes and sizes, then decorated with lots of cute die cuts.

On this page, I made two round photo mats by punching a 2.5″ scalloped circle out of a pattern paper, then a 1 3/4″ circle out of white card stock.

Ok, time for the tutorial. Here’s how I made the album with Lori’s awesome cut file …

Butterfly Shaped Scrapbook Album Tutorial

1. I duplicated the shape first so that I would have a front cover, back cover, and pages.

2. I wanted the pages and back cover to be a solid shape so next I highlighted my second butterfly and clicked release compound path — this separates all of the little inside shapes.

3. I moved the base butterfly shape off the the left, and deleted the little bits and pieces that were left behind.

4. Next, I created an internal offset of the solid butterfly so that I would have a smaller shape to cut pattern paper layers.

I cut the cover pieces once, and then cut 5 solid pieces to use as pages. Finally, I cut various pattern papers out of the smaller butterfly.

I hope this helps you to create your own shaped mini album with Lori’s butterfly cut files. She has so many great ones to choose from! Hop on over to her shop today and have fun exploring. Happy crafting!

Double Gatefold Card Ladybug Tutorial

December 28, 2023December 27, 2023

Hi everyone! I hope you are all getting rested up from the Holidays! I have a quick tutorial to share with you today that features Lori’s new Echo Park Collection Little Ladybug. It’s just so fun, all kinds of darling patterned papers and makes us dream of Spring. Especially, after our first blizzard of the season here in South Dakota, the day after Christmas. Oh the Joy!

The file I used today is the Double Gatefold Ladybug Card or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.

First, cut your pieces with desired papers.

Next, fold in on each score line creating a double fold like this.

You can see here how your card will double open.

Ink the edges of your patterned papers.

And adhere to the cardstock base, add a few enamel dots to the antennas.

Then I just double layered a couple tags from the collection and added a few more enamel dots, and there you have it. A quick and easy card. I forgot to take a photo of the envelope, but the file also comes with an envelope that the card fits perfectly.

Who doesn’t love ladybugs?

Thanks for stopping by!
