Hello Crafty friends, you may remember last month I shared the Snowman Pop Dot Card. Well today I am sharing another called Reindeer Pop Dot Card from Lori Whitlock, (SVGSilhouette).

I raised some of my panels using pop dots for dimension as well as the whole reindeer onto the base of the card. I inked the edges & used embossing folders on the top of the hat & scarf for a little more detail. 
Tip - Always cut panel pieces first before you emboss, then lightly spray with water before you run panel through your machine with embossing folder. I did omit the water spray this time as I did not want the ink to run.
For my base panel I used some Shabby White Embossing Enamel for some gold & white texture.
I wanted to have a border on my base so I enlarged it by .125" to create the border.

A2 Santa Clause Card

Hello crafty friends, today I want to share with you a cute Christmas card from Lori Whitlock file called A2 Santa Clause Card (SVG).

This is such a cute fun card to make. 


Once I cut all my pieces I embellished the red panel with a Christmas embossing folder. This was a simple step but effective I think. Then I glued my pieces in place. I cut a strip of gold & red Christmas ribbon & glued it down onto the base of my card. Lastly I stuck down my santa with some foam squares for dimension.


Supplies:
Paper:  AC Cardstock
SVG File: Lori Whitlock - A2 Santa Clause Card (SVG)
Doodlebug Sprinkles, Spellbinders Holly Flourish Embossing Folder & Ribbon from my stash.

Mrs Santa Slip Lid Box

Hello Crafty Friends, I know most of you are preparing for Halloween but in my house it's never too early to start preparing for Christmas. Today I want to share with you one of the newest files I am using from Lori Whitlock called Mrs Santa Slip Lid Box (SVG).


I started out by cutting all my pieces then glued on the corresponding panels to the top & bottom box sections like pictured. I folded the score lines first as this helped me to correctly align when I glued down. I left the glasses till last as I found this was easier to glue in place once box was made.


Next I started to put together the lid of the box glueing the flaps of the hat to the head, starting with the front then working from sides & finishing off at the back.


Now glue the hair panel on the back of the lid.


Then glue down the white strips of hat trim along the top. 


The next step is to assemble the base of the box. Start by glueing down the side flap. 


Then finish off by folding down the inside large rectangle base followed by glueing the 2 small side bases on it & then glue the outer rectangle flap over the top of the small side 2.


Lastly I glued on my glasses which I cut with gold metallic cardstock & embellished with a holly cutout onto the hat & 2 gold sprinkles for buttons.

Side Step Birthday Cake Card with Fairy - August blog Hop with Lori Whitlock

 

Hello friends! Welcome to the Lori Whitlock August Blog Hop!

Blog Hop Order:
Noelene Apap <--You are here


Hello Crafty Friends, I recently wanted to create a Birthday card with a Fairy theme for a special little someone, so I started out with the Side Step Birthday Cake Card, (SVGSilhouette). This card is also part of the Ultimate Birthday Bundle in Lori's store, (SVG).  After cutting out my panels I trimmed all the candles except for the middle one with the 3 candles. You don't need to do this, but I wanted it for a first birthday.  Once I glued the panels for the birthday card together I created my fairy using the Gift Card Fairy file, (SVG, Silhouette). After glueing all the pieces together I used some foam squares on the back of my fairy & stuck her in place.


It turned out so cute! Just like she just lit the candle!

Big Box Card Basket Strawberries

Hello crafty friends, today I want to share with you a tutorial for the berry sweet Big Box Card Basket Strawberries (SVG, Silhouette), from Lori Whitlock! 


As you most of you know Strawberry projects are my favourite, so I couldn't wait to make this card.


First step was to cut out all my pieces.


Next step is to layer & glue all your pieces, making sure to match correctly all the strawberry leaves to the green background panel before you glue. You will need to fold down the basket flaps then adhere the scalloped panels on the folded side down. The file comes with 2 flowers but as you will see, I cut some extra flowers to use as embellishments. I also inked the centres of my white flowers with some distress oxide before I glued down the circle centres or added the enamel dots. There are also some extra strawberries in the file, you can cut these if you wish for the strawberries to be seen from the back as well as the front. Note: make sure you flip the large strawberries horizontally if you wish to add these to the back of the card, remember you are doing the reverse side.


Now it's time to put your box card together & assemble the basket. Start by folding down all the scored lines. Now glue the tabs on the inside of the box. I find the best way to do this is by folding the box flat to get the tabs nice & straight along the edge.  


Next is to adhere the inside panels inside the box. These are numbered 1, 2 & 3. I started out by glueing number 2 first in the centre as I found this helped me space them evenly. Flatten your project as the glue dries each time to make sure the tabs adhere.


To finish off I adhered the strawberry onto the front using pop dots and embellished with some of the extra flowers. I also tied a bow onto the basket handle.


Hope you like my Big Box Card Basket Strawberries! This file is also be found in the Big Box Card Basket Bundle, which includes Big Box Card Basket Big Box Card Basket Flowers, Big Box Card Crafty & Big Box Card Basket Sunflowers, (SVG)

Paper: Doodlebug Design - Petite Prints
