Treat Boxes by Christine, bag by Natalie and a Guest Post by Linda Vergottini

Today Christine is sharing her talents and gifts with us, quite literally actually, I am so excited to share them with you. Christine says…
 
I have a thing for treat boxes.  I just love making and giving them.  I love how one simple cut file can be a Valentine treat holder one minute and a Mother’s Day gift bag the next.  It all depends on the paper and embellishments that you use. So when this file, Treat Box with Handle, was put in the store, I knew it would be one that I could use over and over again.
The other thing that I want to mention about this cute little treat box is that it is all one piece that fits nicely on a 12×12 piece of paper.  All of the score lines are there and the only adhesive you need to put it together is a strip on the side seam.  The rest of the box is held together with flaps and tucks which makes it very easy and fast to put together.  It literally took longer to cut the file than it did for me to assemble it.  That is fast!!
To create my boxes, I used the Love Story Collection by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.  It is one of the most amazing paper collections that I have ever used and definitely my favorite Valentine themed line ever.  The stickers that you see are from that collection as well.

Natalie has this adorable bag that she created for her daughter as a scripture bag. I LOVE this and think Lori’s fabric makes it even more fabulous.
Hello everyone, today we have a break in the paper crafting to share with you a little bag I made for my daughter’s birthday.  She turned 8 this last week, and from her grandpa she received a set of scriptures for church.  Since I knew these were coming, I decided to make a bag for her to put them in.  I was in my local craft store and spotted Lori Whitlock’s Hello Sunshine collection in fabric from Riley Blake, and since it was to darling to pass up, I grabbed it and came home and went to work.
I pinned this pattern from Pinterest a while back, and actually made ballet bags for both of my girls with it to hold their shoes to take to class.  It was simple and perfect size I made it again for this bag. I did actually make the bottom a little more narrow than the pattern called for so it would fit her scriptures better.  Since it needed a little dressing up, I added the flower to make it a little more frilly, just like my daughter is.  Lets just say she was thrilled with it, and can’t wait to take them to church with her.

 

 

Today I also have a guest designer to share with you. Her name is Linda Vergottini. She used Lori’s 1 drawer box to make this adorable mini album. Thank you for sharing with us, this is so beautiful and clever!

Wedding Layout by Mendi

I seriously cannot get over how cute Lori’s “Love Story” line by Echo Park is, so when I saw this adorable layout by Mendi I was already in love. I have mostly boys and don’t like the ruffly girly look all the time but this collection and layout totally rock in my eyes. Mendi says…

For today’s layout I turned to more wedding photos that were just begging to be scrapbooked after over a decade of sitting in my photo box!  Lori has so many great heart shapes that I had fun mixing and matching in different styles and sizes.  I was excited to discover that the damask heart set is nearly a perfect match for the black and white patterned paper found in the Love Story paper collection!  Check out my blog today for more tips on getting extra mileage from border cutting files like I did on this layout.”
For this layout I used the following cutting files:
3 Tabs (silhouette store)
2 Borders (silhouette store)

 

 

Gifts by Corri and a layout by Amanda

Today Corri is here sharing a beautiful card and purse set. She always does such a great job. Corri says…

I have a cute card and gift bag that I made using the Echo Park – For the Record 2 Documented collection that Lori designed. 

For my card I layered some of the pattern papers and a doily that I purchased in the baking section at my local craft store.  I cut two butterflies using my Cameo from Lori’s 3 butterflies files.   I embossed the yellow one with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder and added some glitter to the turquoise one. 

For the little gift bag, I cut the party purse and added a pretty layered flower from this set.

This would be a great little thank you gift or a little pick me up for a friend.  You could up some sweet treats or a gift card in the little bag. 

Next I have a beautiful layout by Amanda, it even uses pictures of Amanda, isn’t she beautiful! I added the black borders for our sake to see the edges of the layout. Amanda says…

I created this layout using the Love Story line by Echo Park and Valentine’s banners, valentine’s embellishments, and love tickets.

Valentine Treats by Natalie and a pillow by Christine

Natalie has created the cutest Valentines for her kids. Wanna take a look? She used the Valentine Cards 2 file for the card. Natalie says…

Here’s a treat for you today!  I decided to make a little treat for some of my littles ones friends.  I made some homemade suckers.  And man are they good!
 Once wrapped, I cut out the sucker tag. My kids added stickers and signed their names, and well, of course I didn’t get a picture of that!  What a fun little treat!

 

Natalie has posted the recipe and more details on her blog so be sure and check it out.

Christine has created an adorable pillow with Lori’s Vintage Baby fabric produced by Riley Blake.  It turned out SO cute.  Christine says…

I love using paper with my digital cut files, but for this project, I wanted to do something a little different.  I decided to use my Lori Whitlock die cuts and Silhouette to cut my shapes from fabric.  I had just gotten a bunch of fat quarters of Vintage Baby, which is a fabric line that Lori Whitlock designed for Riley Blake Fabrics, and I thought a small pillow with an appliqué on it would make a nice baby gift.  It is really easy to cut fabric on your Silhouette if you know how, so be sure to check out my blog post for tips and tricks to make your next appliqué project a success.

Valentine Goodies by Mendi and Joy

We have such an amazing Creative Team. They have shared with us many beautiful Valentines Day projects and today is no different. Mendi has this adorable layout for us. She says…

“I had so much fun using Lori’s new Love Story collection and great cutting files on this layout of my little sister’s wedding.  I think it’s become a bit of a personal challenge for me to see how many of Lori’s patterns and cutting files I can fit on a layout without feeling overwhelmingly busy and today I was able to fit 7 different diecuts!  It makes me realize more than ever that next to paper and adhesive, a digital diecutting machine is really a must have tool!   You can see more details about my design at my blog today.”
Here’s a complete list of all the shapes I used:
3 Lace Borders  (Silhouette Store)
You Are Loved Phrase  (Silhouette Store)
Next I have a fun project from Joy. This would make an adorable decoration in your home. Joy has great instructions on her blog so be sure and take a peek. Joy says…
What goes great with any Valentine’s decor?  Candles!  I thought it would be fun to use the Kissy Lips file along with the XOXO from the Valentine’s Set to help me set a festive mood.  I cut the lips and XOXO in alternating pink and red vinyl and then applied them to the votive holders, which I found at my local craft store.  Next, I popped in some votive candles and I was all done!  I just love the way they look on my mantel.  Actually, I like looking at them so much that I keep moving them from room to room!  LOL!  You’ll have fun creating with these files too!
