Pop Up Box Card for Veterans Day

Hi Everyone:

Veterans Day is a solemn day for me as I reflect on those men and women who are serving our Country.  This card is called Pop Up Box Card Military which you can find here in the Lori Whitlock SVG store and here in the Silhouette store.  It is very easy to put together and will surely let those serving currently or previously know that we value their service.  These cards lie flat for mailing and are so wonderful when opened.  Lori has many different styles of pop up box cards to choose from.  I used some of Lori’s Echo Park collections including Summer Adventure, My Favorite Fall and I’d Rather be Crafting.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita

Camera Lovers Birthday Set

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a really fun birthday card and camera gift box set for the photography lovers in your life.  My nephew takes amazing photos and I made this set for his birthday.   I used Lori’s A2 Shaped Box Card Camera which you can find the file for here in her SVG shop and here in the Silhouette store.  I used her SVG file called Camera Shaped Box and you can find that file here in Lori’s SVG shop and here in the Silhouette store.  Lori also has a wonderful tutorial for putting together the camera shaped box which was done by one of my fellow Creative Team members, Brandie Adams which you can find here.  I used a several of Lori’s wonderful Echo Park paper collections on these projects including I’d Rather be Crafting, Back to School and Easter Wishes.

That’s it for me today.

Hugs,

Anita

Lori Whitlock SVG Envelope Necessities

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I would like to share my Top Ten Envelopes that are a must-have for any crafter. How many times have you made an awesome card and stuck it in an ordinary, thin, white envelope? It happens all of the time, which is why I’ve compiled this easy-to-reference list so you can find the right size and style for almost any card. I’ve also included some tips and embellishment ideas too!

All of the following envelopes are my very favorite. I know that they’ll be yours, too! All can be sent through the US Post Office, with the exception of the Money Holder. The Money Holder envelope is meant to be hand delivered, but it’s a great envelope to have on hand, so I included it too!

10. Money Holder Envelope* US Currency Money Holder Envelope with Tag Design Id# 209573 *Not to be mailed. This money holder envelope includes a print & cut tag

That seems like a lot, but there’s more! Did you know that there’s an entire category for  envelopes at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop? You can find them all here!

You can make your envelopes in advance too! I like to use Easy-Tear Double Sided Tape. Simply leave the tape liner on and when you’re ready to seal the envelope, remove the tape liner and press firmly. It certainly beats licking the envelopes! Currently, a standard size envelope can be mailed First-Class mail for 55-cents. Square, oversized, thick, or oddly shaped envelopes start out at 70-cents. I always take mine to my local Post Office to be weighed. You can find out where your local branch is at: usps.com.

Want to make that envelope extra special? Make a coordinating label! I love the “Label 3 Dingbat Font.”

Label 3 has many different shapes and you can customize the size to fit your envelope. You can find the font at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or at the Silhouette Design Store.

Curious about the samples posted above? They were made with Lori’s “Forward with Faith” Echo Park Paper line. I love, love, love the colors!

Happy Crafting!
