Easter Banner

Hello crafty friends. Today I want to share with you how I made this cute Easter banner using 6 Lori Whitlocks Files:

Layered Bunting 2 (Silhouette, SVG)
Easter Purse Topper (Silhouette, SVG)
 Easter Sheep Car Box Card (Silhouette, SVG)
 Easter Bunny Car Box Card (Silhouette, SVG)
 5x7 Easter Bunny Card (Silhouette, SVG)
Easter Basket Chic Box Card (Silhouette, SVG)

I wanted my banner to have a pastel rustic feel. I chose some Doodlebug kraft gingham cardstock for my bunting base. Then some coordinating coloured papers to match. 


To start my project I opened all the files in Silhouette that I wanted to use.  I deleted the parts I didn't need then I copied them onto one page with the bunting.  You will see I have used the similar bunnies from the 5x7 Easter Bunny Card & Easter Bunny Car box card. I did this because the carrots in the box card are whole carrots once you ungroup everything. Also she has more of a body. I omitted her bow & used the floral head piece from the 5x7 card. You can just use the Bunny from the Easter Bunny Car box Card if you wish. I also took the extra step of using the egg from the topper to give the bunny a belly like the one in the 5x7 card. To do this I used the same step below by sizing it onto the bunny.


When you open the Bunting file it will have 3 bunting shapes across the page. I right clicked over all 3 & enlarged by dragging the corner just enough so that all 3 bunting pieces fit across my page. I then coppied all 3 & pasted another row. You can make yours bigger or smaller however you please. I did mine this way as it will give me the most bunting pieces, (6 in total per page), without too much scrap. I cut 9 bunting panels in total. Next I sized my images one by one. To do this I copied a bunting panel to the side of my page. I then placed my image piece inside & enlarged or reduced the size making sure it fit inside. Make sure you place the little panel across the top of the bunting as well as I did in my image below.  Do this step for all your pieces.


Now once you have all the sizes correctly cut out all your pieces & glue together all your image pieces.


Then just place everything onto the panels to see what order you want everything to sit. Once you are happy with it, it helps to take a photo so that you remember where to glue everything.


Now glue the panels onto the bunting base. You will notice that the body on the bunny is a little long. Before I stuck down the bunny I placed her onto the bunting with washi tape, then I turned the bunting over & traced the edge with pencil along the back of the bunny. I then cut along the pencil trace & proceeded to stick the bunny onto the front of the bunting. 

 


I used foam squares to stick down my image pieces. This gives them a raised look. 


Once you have all the bunting pieces ready the last step is to thread some twine & pastel pom poms through to finish the banner.


You can use as little or as many files as you wish. The possibilities are endless. I just love Lori's files & couldn't resist the temptation. 




I hope I have given you some inspiration today to create an Easter banner!

Baby Dresser Cards

 Hello Crafty Friends, today I want to share with you some sweet baby cards I made.


First I created the Baby Dresser Card for a boy (SVGSilhouette). 


I then decided that I loved it so much that I would make a girl version of the card. To do this I changed the little boys romper in the file to the dress from the Baby Girl Dress Card (SVGSilhouette). To get the size I simply pasted the file on the same page & used the original romper as a guide.


Supplies:
Paper: AC Cardstock
SVG File: Lori Whitlock - Baby Dresser Card (SVGSilhouette)
Baby Girl Dress Card (SVGSilhouette)
Accessories: Doodlebug Design Gold Sprinkles & pearl stickers from my stash.

Valentine Bear Snowglobe

 

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

Blog Hop Order:
Today I am sharing a Snowglobe I created using the adorable bear from the Lori Whitlock file Box Card Shopping Bag Valentine Bear (SVG, Silhouette).



I started with a 6" bauble which I purchased from a craft store. Inside my bauble I have used the Bear component of the file & added a few layers to make him sturdy. I then cut a 1" x  5" strip of cardstock & scored at 1" intervals to create a cube shape. I glued this down inside my snowglobe at the base to create a stand for my bear. Then I added some heart confetti inside my snowglobe.


For my base I cut 2 strips of paper 3" x 9" wide & glued them together to create a base 16" in circumference. Lastly I glued one of the hearts on top of my snowglobe to embellish.

Valentine Birdhouse

Hello Crafty Friends, today I want to share a Valentine themed Birdhouse I made using the Double Decker Birdhouse from the Lori Whitlock 5 Birdhouse Set (SVG)


The original file has one bird but I wanted to add another bird to make them look like love birds, so to start off with I copy & pasted the bird. Then I horizontally flipped the bird so that it was facing the original. 


I did the same with the bird on the branch, then I used the knife tool to make 2 cuts to separate the bird from the branch. I then deleted the branch & used only the bird to cut.


After cutting all my pieces on my Silhouette Cameo & put together my birds onto the branch. You will need to trim the excess branch from the back panel of the extra bird we created before glueing him onto the main branch. 


Next I took the larger part of the house which is the bottom & glued the side flaps together.


Once these were dry I proceeded to glue down the roof first by glueing down the bigger piece then following the smaller roof piece on top.


Next I took the smaller bird house & glued the side flaps together. Then I glued it down onto the bottom half of the birdhouse that we have already put together. Once this was dry I finished off by glueing the 3 roof panels starting from the largest on the bottom. 


Lastly I embellished my Birdhouse with some die cuts, stickers & paper roses.


Isn't it the sweetest!
