May Lori Whitlock Creative Team Blog Hop

 Hi Everyone:

Welcome to the May Lori Whitlock Creative Team Blog Hop.  You should have come here from Kathy Skou's blog and will next be going to Brandie Harding Adams' blog.  

My niece is about to graduate from high school and head off to Georgetown in the fall.  I made these projects to celebrate with her this momentous occasion.  I used Lori's SVG files including the Grad Hat Small Mouth Topper which is filled with different types of M & M's in her school colors.  You can find the file here in Lori's SVG store and here in the Silhouette store.  I also made her a Grad Year Shaped Card which you can find here in Lori's store.  Lastly, I made the Grad Photo Props Décor as a fun centerpiece.  You can find that file here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette Design store.

5X7 Shadow Box Frame Card Friends

 

Anita here with a card that I made for a dear friend who is moving away to be closer to her daughter and be in a warmer climate.  I wanted to give her a special card which reflected the importance of her friendship to me.  I made this 5X7 Shadow Box Frame Card Friends which you can find here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used one of Lori's new Echo Park Paper collections called A Slice of Summer.  This card folds flat for mailing and is sure to add some cheer to a friend's day.  

That's it for me today.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.  Be sure to check out Lori's other beautiful friendship cards.

Perpetual Calendar Tutorial

 

Happy Thursday Everyone:

Anita here today with a tutorial for a Perpetual Celebration Calendar.  I have a perpetual calendar which I have been using for years and wanted to replace it with something more fun and prettier.  I decided to buy a rolodex holder and found some great files in Lori's store that I used to create the pages for my calendar.  I used Memorydex Scalloped Cards and used all three included shapes.  You can find those cards  here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette store.  Male birthdays got the rectangle shape which can be found in the 4 Cute Tags file, here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette store.    I  used 4 Scalloped Shapes which you can find here in Lori's Store and here in the Silhouette Store, these were the date reminder tags that went on the female birthday cards.  I used the Nested Hearts file which you can find here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette store for the anniversary cards.  Please note that each card also has an extra layer on the back of cardstock to give it a bit more stability and to help it to be more stable on the rolodex holder as it spins.

I used the Memorydex Box and Cards for the month tab cards.  You can find the Memorydex Box and Cards here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette Store.  You can find a tutorial to make the Memorydex Box and Cards here on Lori's blog.  I also used the Month 4X6 Journaling Cards which you can find here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette store.  I resized them to fit on the card and then cut them out.  I did my editing of this file on my Silhouette.   I decorated the cards with ephemera from my stash.

That's it for me today.  I love how this came out and now each  month I get to flip the pages to see who I will be celebrating that month.

Hugs,

March Lori Whitlock Creative Team Blog Hop

Happy March Everyone:

Welcome to the Lori Whitlock Creative Team blog hop for March.  I made this adorable Decagon Pop Up Card St. Patrick Gnome, which you can find the file for here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette store.  I used some fun Doodlebug papers from my stash.  I made this for my sweet grandson and will be sending it off to his daycare center for the monthly mail day that they have for the kids.  

You should have come here from Traci Matthews Penrod's blog and will next be going to Brandie Harding Adams' blog.

Here is a photo of the card folded flat for mailing.

A2 Snow Globe Shaker Card Snowman

 

Happy President's Day Everyone:

Anita here with a card that I made to send to my sweet grandson for mail day at his daycare center.  I made this A2 Snow Globe Shaker and you can find this file here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette store.  It even comes with the envelope file to mail your lovely interactive card in.  Lori also has a tutorial for this card on her blog by my friend, Kathy Skou and you can find that here.  I used several different Echo Park Paper collections of Lori's on this card including A Perfect Winter, Celebrate Winter and My Favorite Winter.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day.  Be sure to check out all of Lori's shaker cards.  They are so much fun and my grandson and his day care teachers loved it.
