June Lori Whitlock Creative Team Blog Hop




It's that time again for the Lori Whitlock Creative Team blog hop and this one is for June.  I made a Box Card Father's Day Tractor (SVG, Silhouette).  I just love how cute it is and it was so easy to put together.  You should have come here from Traci Matthews Penrod's blog and will next be going to Ashley Cook's blog.  Here are photos of the front and back of the card.  Be sure to hop along to see what my fellow Creative Team Members made and to shop in Lori's SVG store for your Father's Day needs.

Hugs,

Father's Day Cabin Box Card

Anita here with a fun Father's Day card for the active/outdoorsy type of dad.  It is called Box Card Cabin (SVG, Silhouette).  I used some of Lori's Echo Park Paper collections including Let's Go Anywhere, Here Comes the Sun and Halloween Party.  There were more pieces to put on the front of the card but I decided to just use the one wood grain piece for the front of my house.


As always, the beauty of a box card is that it folds flat for mailing.  Be sure to check out all of Lori's wonderful SVG's for Father's Day.

Grad Cap Card Tutorial

 

Anita here with a tutorial for assembling Lori's A2 Grad Cap Card (SVG, Silhouette).  I also used a tutorial that one of my fellow Creative Team Members created to make the tassel for my card.  You can find Teri's tutorial here.  Below are the pieces that you will need to cut out to make this card.

This is the card base and you will be closing the card by gluing on the tabs.
Next, we will fold the inner part of the card that makes the sentiment card base and grad hat shape.  You will want to flip your card over and fold across the score lines as shown below.
Flip the card back over with the right side facing up and fold on the diagonal score lines.  I did one fold to the left and then the next diagonal score line was folded to the right.

Once you have your card folded it should look like the card below.
I glued the tassel with a wet adhesive to make sure that it would stay in place.
Here is what the card insert looks like with the grad cap topper on the base and a brad through the holes.


Here is a photo of the pieces of the card pieces together and you are now ready to insert the card base into the envelope pocket.
That's it for me today.  Be sure to check out all of Lori's graduation cards.
Hugs,

May Lori Whitlock Creative Team Blog Hop

Happy May Everyone:
Welcome to the Lori Whitlock Creative Team blog hop.  I made a beautiful butterfly card which matches two items that I am giving the birthday lady for her upcoming birthday.  This is Lori's Square Center Step Card Butterfly(SVG, Silhouette).  I used Lori's Echo Park Paper collection called Life is Beautiful.  I also cut three of each colors of the butterflies and glued them in the center only so that I could puff them up a bit to give them some more dimension.  You should have come here from Lori Whitlock's blog and will next be going to Brandie Harding Adams' blog.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.
Hugs,

Garden Box Card

 

   Anita here with a fun post on this April morning.  Do you have a gardener in your life who is getting excited that it is spring?  Well, I do, so I assembled Lori's Garden Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) and used another of her box cards to have the pieces for the sentiment so that I could personalize it.  I used A2 Box Card Home (SVG, Silhouette).  I also used Lori's brand new Echo Park Paper collections called Bee Happy.  It is so fun and I also used Endless Summer which was an Echo Park Paper collection of hers from last summer.  I will be folding this card flat for mailing and sending it off to a special lad.

That's it for me today.  Thanks for looking and be sure to check out Lori's shop for all your spring and summer paper crafting needs.

Box Card Easter Bunny Carrot Card Tutorial

  

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a tutorial on assembling Lori's Box Card Easter Bunny Carrot card (SVG, Silhouette).  My grandson loves everything to do with cars and trucks and I thought that he would love this card for Easter.  Lori has so many fabulous designs, be sure to check them out for your spring card needs.

Here are the pieces for this fun, interactive card.

Glue the pieces that go together and set them aside for now.

Here is the box glued together and the bunny glued inside it.  When making these cards I always fold them closed to make sure that things are lining up like I want them to.

Here is a top view where you can see where the bunny center piece was placed within the car body.

Here is the back of the card.  I love the way Lori has the sentiment and room for me to write my grandson a message.

Here is the card folded flat and ready for mailing.

That's it for me today.  I hope that you have  a wonderful spring weekend this weekend.  Happy Easter for those that celebrate it.

Hugs,
