June Lori Whitlock Blog Hop

Hi Everyone:

Welcome to the June Lori Whitlock Blog Hop.  I just became a grandmother for the first time and we were with our son and daughter-in-law in Ohio when they went in for his birth and when they came home.  Given how many things from her pregnancy were different than what we hoped given Covid 19, I wanted them to come home to a wonderful celebration of sweet Henry's birth.  I repurposed some cardboard for the main sign and made all of the smaller signs as well and brought them with me from MA to Ohio to decorate their home for the baby's arrival.

You should have come here from Kathy Skou's blog and will next be going to Brandie Harding Adams' blog.  If you didn't get here in that way then you can start at the beginning at Lori's blog.  I used the following Lori Whitlock files which you can find the links for below:

Baby Balloon Box in Lori's store and in the Silhouette Design store

Build a Banner Set in Lori's store and in the Silhouette Design store

Baby Boy Onesie Card Kit in Lori's store and in the Silhouette Design store

Dog Shaped Card in Lori's store and in the Silhouette Design store

Lori Whitlock Font called Thick in Lori's store and in the Silhouette Design store

I used a bunch of fun Petite Prints from Doodlebug as well as some of their solid cardstock for my signs.  I also used some Doodlebug Puppy Love Odds and Ends to embellish the signs.

Baby Mini Album

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a fun tutorial to make this mini baby album.  My brother's girlfriend just became a grandmother of a beautiful baby boy and I made this album for her to fill and have to share with her friends.

This is a photo of the cut file.  It is called Baby Layered Mini Album and you can find it in Lori's store and in the Silhouette Store.  I mixed and matched some wonderful collections of Lori's from Echo Park to make my album including A Perfect Winter, A Perfect Autumn, A Perfect Christmas and I Love Family.  I bought 1.5 inch colored rings from Amazon for the album.

I decided that I wanted to make each page be the same print/color so I used the replicate function on my Silhouette to mirror the left tabbed page to the right so that I could glue them together to create a heavier page.  I used matching papers.

Next, I used the rectangle tool on the left side bar to create a white piece to put the photo on.  I like to put the item I am trying to match the size on my mat.

Here is the sized rectangle on my mat.

Here is a photo that shows the other rectangles that I created for the pages of my album.  I then cut two of each for the album.

I used Lori's font called Wide Marker at the 56.0 font size and moved them on to the bottle to see how it would look.

Here are the pieces for my album.

There you have it.  This worked up very quickly and it so cute.  Can't wait to send it off to it's recipient.

Baby Month Signs

Hello Everyone:
Happy Monday.  I made this sign set for a friend's daughter who is having a baby in January.  I used Lori's cut file called Baby T-Shirt Months which you can find here in her store and here in the Silhouette Store.   I also used Scalloped Shapes for the background of my months and you can find that file here in her store and here in the Silhouette Store.  I used Lori's Echo Park collections called Happiness is Homemade and I Love Family.

I bought a chalkboard stand online and put two sided sticky tape on the back of each oval and then stuck a piece of wax paper over the tape so that they wouldn't stick together.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out Lori's store for these cut files and many more new and fun cut files.
Hugs,

Dream Big Little One

Anita here with a quick tutorial to use some of Lori's adorable phrase files in a fun and different way.  I used the file called Dream Big Little One 2 which you can find here in Lori's wonderful shop and here in the Silhouette store.  I used files similar to these to embellish some baby onesies.  When I found this box at a craft store I knew I could make something cute with it.  I used Lori's brand new Echo Park Collection called Perfect Princess.  It is a very sweet line.

Here are the materials for this project.  I used some fun milk paint which was so soft and pretty.  I used Mod Podge at the end to seal my letters and stars and moon onto the project.

Here is a photo of the top of the box.

Here is a photo of the front of the box.  You can see how cute this paper line is.

This is a photo of the top of the box with the light on.  It runs on two AA batteries.

That's it for me today.  Be sure to check out Lori's store for this and many other amazing cut files.

Hugs,

Anita

Insta-cube Baby Card

Anita here with a card that Lori created that is just so easy to put together and will have the recipients saying oooh and aaaah.  I used Lori's new cut file called Insta-Cube Card Baby which you can find here in her store and here in the Silhouette Store.  She has other designs of this adorable box and has a fabulous tutorial which shows you how to put it together.  Here is the link to the tutorial on her blog.  I used Lori's new Echo Park Collection called Perfect Princess.

Here is the box with the card most of the way out.

When you pull the card all the way out of the box it pops into a cube.  You will have to watch the tutorial to see the secret on how this pops open on its own.

Here is the second side of my cube.

That's it for me today.  Thanks for looking and have a great week.

Hugs,
