stars – Lori Whitlock

The 4th of July is right around the corner. Lori has some new 4th of July projects in her shop. Today I’m going to share a tutorial for this card (SVG, Silhouette).

The front of the card can either be created by printing or using a sketch pen. Today I’m going to show the card using the sketch pen.

In Silhouette Studio open your file and ungroup the pieces. Place the front of the card on the mat. Click on Send, to open the Send panel.

Notice above, the cut lines are selected in red. Select the Line panel (available in some version of Studio).

Click on the box to select the No Color selection. And change the tool to Sketch.

Now we have the red lines set to cut and the no color set to sketch. We are ready to send to the machine.

Here you see the sketched lines. I think it looks so cute.

Now cut all the other pieces for the card.

I then used the front piece to lightly trace the balloon outlines onto the card base. This helps with placing the balloon pieces. Adhere all the balloon pieces to the card base.

Next, adhere the card front to the card base.

Also, adhere the white star middle pieces and the ribbon.

There is how to make this adorable 4th of July card. You can also sketch with Cricut software. Similar steps. Let us know if you sketch this card with your Cricut and share your projects.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, Crafty Friends! Creative Team Member Mitsyana Wright here and I’m kicking off a new year with back to back parties. Not just to celebrate a beginning to a brand new year but also to celebrate multiple BIRTHDAYS!! WOOHOO!! Both my youngest son and my husband have birthdays in January. As well as a niece and nephew. We’re on birthday cake overload throughout the month!

And if cake wasn’t enough sugar, let’s spike everyone’s blood sugar level by adding candy to the mix. But I’ll play it safe and send the candy home with them instead.

**Disclaimer** – Remember folks, consume sugar responsibly!!

So, I made these adorable PUFFED STARS using Lori Whitlock’s Star Pillow Box file.

You can purchase this file from the Lori Whitlock Shop, here.

Or from the Silhouette Store, here.

For an instant “WOW” factor, just fill a large glass jar with filled boxes and set it on tables for a quick and easy centerpiece. Or lay them on each place setting for awesome place cards. These will totally dress up your party tabletop!!
