5×7 Shutter Card Tutorial

Happy Thursday everyone!! I’m here with a quick and easy tutorial for you all today.

Here in South Dakota, at least my side of the state, we still haven’t had any snow. So I created this fun little shutter card in hopes of encourging the snow to fly. We also all need a reminder that even the easiest cards bases can turn out super cute and detailed. I used the 5×7 Shutter Card found here…(SVG, Silhouttte). Its such a fun little card base. My paper is from Echo Park Company. It’s Lori Whitlock’s Winter Fun line found HERE.

As usual, get all your pieces cut and organized.

The base itself gets folded on the score lines like the below photo.

Add your first patterened paper to the base remebering there is a bit of a mat on the base so don’t line your patterned paper to the edge.

Go ahead and add your 2nd patterened paper like shown.

And add your white piece to the center. I did use some pop dots to pop mine up a little.

Decorate your card as you see fit. I used some chipboard stickers and some regular stickers. Again, I used pop dots to give my cute fox some dimention. I also added some enamel dots for a little more fun and detail on the card.

How cute is this card with such a simple and easy card base?!

Transform Lori Whitlock’s 3D Valentine Houses SVG Bundle Into Winter Décor

Hi everybody, it’s Holly! Today, I’m excited to share a fun “diy” project with you, showcasing the 3D Valentine House Bundle from Lori Whitlock. I’ve turned the Valentine houses into Winter houses. I added some tea lights inside to make the houses light up and it just looks so cute up on my mantle. The warm lights inside the houses adds such a calming peaceful feeling.

Hi there friends and happy Winter! Did you all survive the holiday? Ready for the next one? I’m not. We are planning a low-key New Years, cozy home party with an early bedtime! Ha!

Today I am sharing the 3D Lantern Belly Snowman (SVG, Silhouette). This cutie is a darling winter decor piece and so easy to assemble. I used papers and a sticker from the Winter Fun collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also added a battery powered light to the inside of the snowman.
