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!

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!

Hi everyone! Corri here today sharing this fun S’more Shaped Box SVG cutting file that was recently added to the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Store. This fun box would make an adorable party favor for a camping themed birthday party. You could fill it with mini chocolate bars.
This box goes together very quickly so you could easily make several of these in a short time. Be sure to stop by the shop to see all the other fun new outdoor-themed cut files.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Looking for a really cute Baby Shower Favor? How about this adorable little Baby Shoe (SVG, Silhouette).
This little shoe is easy to assemble and can be made in any color to match your shower theme!
Start out by cutting the pieces. You have 2 bottom pieces (each the same size) and the top of the shoe.
On the “wrong” side of one of the bottom pieces, I measured up about one inch from the heel and drew a line. (the bottom pieces both have a wider end which is the top of the shoe, and a narrower end which is the heel.) You don’t need to do this part, I just found it easier to place where to start gluing on the shoe top.
Starting at the 1″ mark, glue the top of the shoe to the bottom piece going in the direction of the top of the shoe.
Continue all the way around the shoe, making sure there are no gaps. When you are done, there will be an overlap of one tab.
Add a little adhesive in the overlap of the top piece and secure.
Add the second bottom piece to the bottom of the shoe to cover the tabs.
All that is left is to glue the shoe strap down and decorate! I added a button to the strap and a little bow to the shoe top. Now to fill it with a sweet treat!
This tutorial will also help with the assembly of the Explosion Box Baby Shoes File (SVG, Silhouette). That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
