April Lori Whitlock Blog Hop

Welcome to the April Lori Whitlock blog hop.  As we are all dealing with the challenges of social distancing and trying to keep our families healthy, I have been looking forward to Spring.  I made this Sliding Shadow Box Card Paris which you can find here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used a sentiment from another of Lori's cut files called Iris Shutter Card Fishbowl, which you can find here in Lori's store and here in the Silhouette Design store.
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 on Lori's blog. The card folds flat to 5X7 for mailing. I used Lori's new collection from Echo Park Paper called All Girl.  Such a pretty line for girls and spring projects.  Sending this off to a good friend of mine who loves Paris.

Box Card Easter Flower

Hi Everyone:

Anita here from MA where we are practicing social distancing and trying to help end this pandemic.  My creative endeavors have kept me going while having to be at home so much.  Lori has lots of wonderful cut files that you can easily whip up to bring some joy to a friend or loved one.  I created this Box Card Easter Flower which was so easy to put together and as you can see in the second photo, folds flat for mailing.  You can find this cut file here in Lori's shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used some of Lori's Echo Park collections including her newest ones called All Boy and All Girl.  I also used My Favorite Christmas, My Favorite Winter and Easter Wishes.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita

St. Patrick's Day Pop Up Box Card Jar Shaker Tutorial

Anita here with a tutorial to make Lori's lovely cut file for the Pop Up Box Card St. Patrick's Jar into a shaker card.  You can find this file here in her shop and here in the Silhouette store.

   

Here is a photo of the parts of the card after I cut them out.  I cut a piece of overhead projector plastic the same size as the jar.  I also used the rectangle shape tool to cut out the center of my green plaid jar top piece for the window.  I also cut a jar out of black and trimmed it even with the top of the band so that you could see the details in the jar cover.

Those are shown glued down in this photo.

Next, I took the jar outline piece and used foam tape to create both height and space for the shaker materials as you can see from the photo below.

I then started to assemble the card which is very easy to put together.  I tend to use a wet adhesive as at first it is forgiving and you can move the pieces around a bit and then it holds better than regular adhesive.  I lined up the pieces and then closed the card to make sure everything was where I wanted it.  Here are some photos of the card with the pieces ready to be adhered onto the card and with all the pieces on it.  I filled my shaker with extra shamrocks from the cut file and some sequins.  I love how festive it is.  

Lastly here is a photo of the card when it is closed.  Lori has many wonderful St. Patrick's Day files which you can whip up quickly to brighten someone's day.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita

Print & Cut Valentine Gnomes

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a fun and cute print and cut Valentine set for a dear friend of mine.  I used Lori's Print & Cut Valentine Gnomes SVG file which you can find here in her store and here in the Silhouette store.  I ungrouped the Valentines and used sticker paper to make the matching stickers which she can use to seal the envelopes.  This set will be a great gift and would be great for classroom Valentine's as well.  Below you can see the three Valentines that are included in the file and the two different sticker types that I made.  I used Silhouette sticker paper but there are many other brands out there.

That's it for me today.  Have a great day.

Hugs,
