Crafty Tutorial with Lori's SVG's and Twine

Where is the summer going?  I can hardly believe that we are in the second week of August.    I fell in love with Lori's Box Card Coconut Drink (SVG, Silhouette).  I used some of Lori's Echo Park Paper collections including Wish Upon a Star and Endless Summer. I used a bendy straw and two sided tape on the straw to adhere the twine.  Next, I glued the bent straw to the straw that is part of the card SVG.  It worked perfectly with the shape that the straw was already cut out in the SVG file.  There are so many ways to kick your creations up a notch and I was happy to share this one with you today.  

 

Here is a photo of the card flat and ready for mailing.

Thanks for looking and have a great day. Hugs,

Recently my mom was in the hospital and were unsure if she would get well.  I reached out on Facebook to my family and friends for support and my mother has turned the corner and is currently at a rehab in Florida to build back her strength.  I made this card so thank all those that reached out to me with Facebook messages, texts, phone calls and prayers.  I am blessed to have to many caring people in my life.

I used a bunch of different Echo Park paper collections of Lori's to complete this sweet card.  It is called Shaped Card Lifesaver and you can find the cut file here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette store.  I used I Heart Crafting, Wish Upon a Star and Sweet Baby Boy and what I love so much about her Echo Park collections is that they are interchangeable with the same color hues which allows me to mix and match easily.

May Lori Whitlock Blog Hop

 Hi:

Happy Tuesday and welcome to the May blog hop.  I loved making this adorable card for Mother's Day.  The gift box is also so easy to put together as well.

The box is called Gift Card Wrap Box and is simple to put together.  You can find that file here in Lori's shop and there is a tutorial there as well.  You can find it also in the Silhouette Store.  I didn't want my box to have the same sentiment so I used the sentiment from the A2 Tea Shaped Box Card  Teapot which you can find here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette store.  
You should have come her from Traci's blog and next you will be going to Brandie's blog.  If you did not come here that way you should go to Lori's blog and start at the beginning.

Mother's Day Card and Gift Card Box Set

Hi Lori Whitlock Fans:

Anita here with a pretty card which was so easy t make and a gift card box.  It's time to start thinking about those Mother's in our lives.  I am impressed and amazed every day by the strength, humor and resilience that I see in the mothers around me.  For this set I used several different files.  The card is part of Lori's Center Box Card series and it is called Center Box Card Mother Flowers and you can find it here in her store along with a tutorial to put it together and here in the Silhouette store.  I am in love with the soft sweet colors in Lori's new Echo Park line called Sweet Baby Girl. I used some pearls for the flower centers and some twine to finish off my card.  

The box is called Gift Card Wrap Box and is simple to put together.  You can find that file here in Lori's shop and there is a tutorial there as well.  You can find it also in the Silhouette Store.  I didn't want my box to have the same sentiment so I used the sentiment from the A2 Tea Shaped Box Card  Teapot which you can find here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette store.  

Here is a photo of the card folded flat.  It folds into a 5 1/2" X 6 1.4" almost square.

Here are the box pieces.

Finally, here is the completed box.

That's it for me.  See you soon and enjoy your week.
