My Etsy Shop for SVG files

I finally went for it!  I opened an Etsy shop!  It's called SVGShack.  I've included all of my SVG cut files which are perfect for the Cricut Explore, Sillhouette Cameo, Sizzix Eclips and many other digital cutters.    Here's a sample of what's in the shop right now, though the content changes almost daily.

Stop by the SVGshack and see what's new!!

Pottery Barn Knock off Mirror

I was looking through Pinterest awhile back and saw where someone had made a pottery barn knock off mirror.  I saved the photo of the pottery barn mirror, but forgot to save the person who made the knock off.  If anyone knows who that was, I'd be happy to post credit here.  Anywho... this is my version of the Pottery Barn mirror.  I made it with My Cricut Explore, Vinyl and a Cheapo mirror from Walmart.  Pretty Cute, eh?  It took me all of about 20 minutes start to finish.    I love how it turned out!

How to size an evelope in Cricut Design Space

I see lots of questions in the facebook groups on how to size and envelope in Cricut Design Space.  I made a super quick (2 minute) video to show you a super easy way to make sure your envelopes are perfectly sized for your projects.

Birthday Card with Cricut Explore using the Pen Tool

Today I made this fun birthday card using the Cricut Explore with the Pen Tool Accessory.  There are so many ways to use the pen tool.  In the video below I show you how to use the pen to create an outline around a cut out image, how to use the pen to add a sentiment and how to use the pen to create a border.

Hey Foxy! Card

Hey foxy! 
This card was so fun to make.  I used the Fox from Lori Whitlock's SVG shop, and my Cricut Explore.   I don't know what it is about this little guy, but I want to put him on everything.

I used the Cricut Explore pens to write the sentiment using Lori Whitlock Tall Sketch Font.

Merry Christmas Card with the Cricut Explore

I did it.  I had to make a Christmas Card.  I don't know why.  It's 70 degrees here today and I've got Christmas on the brain.

This card was made from start to finish with the Cricut Explore and Cricut Design Space using Cricut Images.

You can watch the video below and recreate it as I walk you through step by step.

Who Says Halloween has to be spooky?

Hello and thanks for stopping by!

I've got a new post up over at Lori Whitlock's blog.

Today I'm featuring a non-spooky Halloween Gift set.  Who ever said Halloween had to be filled with witches, ghosts and goblins?  I turned this simple everyday occasion card and crate into a Halloween set simply by changing the papers.

I cut the Lori Whitlock Wooden Crate Svg file and the Kolette Hall Floral and Flag Card with my Cricut Explore.

Using the pen tool in the Cricut Explore made it super simple to add the Halloween sentiment using Lori Whitlock's Dot Sketch Font

 

Isn't this wooden crate the cutest?  It's the perfect size for a bag of candy corn or other Halloween treat.

Welcome to the Lori Whitlock October Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Lori Whitlock October blog hop!

It's October and, of course that makes me think of Halloween!  I made a super fun Halloween treat box and matching card.  I love to find cut files such as the Patriotic Mason Jar and repurpose it into a totally different holiday.  It was super easy to do but cutting the jar in black and adding a Halloween sentiment to the front.  I paired it with the Bracket Tri Fold Card by Lori Whitlock.  This is the cutest card! 

This card as this fun belly band and then it opens to reveal plenty of area to write a message to the recipient.  I added the Trick or Treat Sentiment (Lori Whitlock Cute Spooks Digital kit) to the front panel by using the new Print Then Cut feature with the Cricut Explore.

Thanks for stopping by!  Now it's time for the fun stuff!

Halloween Tag Card with Thermoweb

Hello there!  It's Lorrie here with a Halloween tag card.  Halloween and Christmas are my two favorite cardmaking seasons.  I wanted to do something a little different than a basic card.  I came up with this tag that was inspired by the absolute cutest birthday card I recently received from a super crafty friend.

This is simply several different types of tags layered together to create a lot of dimension and fun things to look at.


I just love interactive cards.  They make you want to get in there and see what's happening in there.

The first page is a clear page with some fun embellishments sewed right on the acetate.

Next we have a chevron tag with a simple owl/moon die cut.  I adhered this delicate diecut to the tag with Liquid Fabric Fuse.  Yes, that's right.. FABRIC fuse.  It is the perfect adhesive for paper projects, especially those tiny pieces.  It has a very narrow tip which makes it easy to control the amount of adhesive going on your project.  I'll show you another place in this card I used it in a few more photos below.


The page below was made by using the Thermoweb Mini Dot Runner to adhere the 31, I added a couple of staples to make it interesting and the cat was adhered using Thermoweb 3D Foam Squares
The cute part of this card is that it is all tucked into a brown paper bag simply by sliding the tag down into the bag.  The bag serves as an envelope.. (sort of).

Those cute glittery photo corners are Thermoweb Glitter Dust Black Nickel Glitter Photo Corners.  I LOVE these!

Ready for the last page of the card?  This is the tag that was tucked into the bag.
I used Thermoweb 3d Foam Squares to pop the pumpkins up and add dimension, the Thermoweb Sticky Dot Runner to add the Skeleton to the tag, and the Liquid Fabric Fuse to add the ring to the tag




That completes the tag card.  Super simple to make and a great way to use scraps!
