LTCCB #85: Flowers in a Box

Hello Crafty Friends :o)  Spring is just around the corner....let's start the new month with inspiration from the LTCCB crafty team.

This is a birthday card using Lori Whitlock SVG file, 3D Envelope Box Flowers.  These SVG files have made it very easy to craft in a day and it's still beautiful. Don't let the name of the file fool you, it does not lay flat for and envelope, it's a box.

 Here's some details I added to the flowers and leaves, either with color pencils or inks.

LTSCB #172: 20th Grudge Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends :o)  March is here and Mother Nature's hormones are going wild. Sit back and enjoy some time while going through the inspiration of all the sisters blog.

This post is for LTSCB, Anything Goes always.  Please share your scrappy projects.

My son's girlfriend just jad a birthday, she like everything dark and gothic.  I used SVG file from Lori Whitlock, Box Card Birthday

I picked papers that I thought she might like and decided not to do the banners from the svg file.  Instead, I die cutted #20, to signified her 20th birthday. Took my color pencils to add some details to the bow.

Here's the back, that way a message could be written.

Folds nice and neatly into the envelope.

paper: Recllections, Soto Studios Paper

Love to Craft Challenge Blog #81: Congrats Grad

 Hello Crafty Friends :o)  Hopefully you are able to enjoy some sunshine and good weather wherever you are.  This post is for LTCCB, anything crafty is wanted.

This card was made for my red headed step child twice removed from another mother... the neighbor kid that used to live here almost every weekend.  He is off to college and I'm not sure if him or his mother is having the hardest time with him leaving the nest.  This is a SVG file from Lori Whitlock, Curved Pop-Up Card Graduation.  I'm not one to cut and just put together.  I did ink up the edges, but also used my color pencils to make the books have pages and the scroll to look more 3D.  

Here is the side view of the pop -up curved.  There were panels to put on the back to write a message to the graduate.

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #69: Little Note Card

 Hello crafty friends. 

This post is for MIUCB, this month we would like to see some folds.

There are some many beautiful multi folded cards, but I went for something for simple and easy.  I used Lori Whitlocks, Tabbed Card svg.  If you are a true crafter, you have more scrap pieces of paper that just needs to be used.  This whole card was made from scraps :o)

I decided to put white on both sides.  That way I can stamp on the side that faces outward and write a personal message on the other side.  

thanks for reading and looking :o)

Hats Off Graduation: LTSCB #161

 Hello crafty friends :o)   It's hard to believe Spring is already here, the last of the High School are happening.  All sisters blogs go live today, so check out all the inspiration.

This post is for Love to Scrap Challenge Blog, Anything Goes

My son is double graduating this month.  He will graduate from Jr College first with high honors.  Then two weeks later, he will graduate from High School as Valedictorian. As a senior class, they have a tradition called the blue envelope, where anyone can give seniors cards of congrats for their hard work and success for the future.  This is our blue envelope using Lori Whitlock SVG files.

I like lots of details, much added details to the tassels and scrolls.

Put a piece of dark blue, so we could write a message to the senior.

Thanks for looking and reading :o)

No graduation is complete without some party favors.  Once again the SVG file is from Lori Whitlock

It's a good size box to put some goodies inside.

The tassel does not come with the svg file, but easily made with floss.  Of course a little brad on top.

Mix It Up! Challenge Blog #59: Double the Treats

 Hello crafty friends :o)   Ready for another challenge at Mix It Up! Challenge Blog, we would like to see 3-D projects, but it is optional.

Making boxes for gifts or goodies to give is fun.  Now with machine and designs, there are so many fun designs to choose from.  This SVG file is from Lori Whitlock called 2 Compartment Cookie Box.  Not sure if I will put cookies inside, but I was thinking some chocolate and other goodies.

Here's the inside.  It was very easy to put together and is very sturdy.  The kraft paper I used was a heavy paper.

Mix It Up! Challenge Box #58: Thanks a Latte

Hello crafty friends :o) 

Here with my project for Mix It Up! Challenge Blog, where Fancy Folds are a creative must.

When you find cute stamps and die-cuts/svgs that go together ... just have to make a card.  The coffee cup is a svg file from Lori Whitlock website, part of Doodle bug collections.  

The inside of the card has my fancy fold technique for this challenge.  It's also a svg file from Lori Whitlock, I really like the book fold of this.  The stamp from Sugar Pea Designs goes perfectly with the coffee files.

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #46: Birthday Twist Card

 Hello crafty friends :o)   I'm here with my post for Mix It Up Challenge Blog, this month we want to see some "fancy folds".  

I tried a new fold from a SVG file for my cutting machine.  This is a Twist Pop Card from Lori Whitlock SVG

My fancy fold is inside the card.  The "wish" panel actually twist sideways to fit neatly in the card.

This is the card completely opened.  Trying something new can be challenging and fun.

Merry Little Christmas! Challenge Blog #28: Snowman Winterland

 Hello crafty friends :o)   Not that anyone is counting, but Christmas is 47 days away, time to get busy with all those projects.  This is my post for Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog, where we love Christmas projects all year around :o)

This is a cute little card from Lori Whitlock's svg, called Wiper Card Christmas Snowman.  Personally, I think svg files have made it easier for crafters.  No more measuring and making sure each measurement is correct for each fold.  Projects can be made a little faster.  Some files, you have to resize.  Choosing what color of paper for each piece can be challenging.  Just wish the mat would stay stickier longer.

Love to Scrap Challenge Blog #139: Happy Fall

 Hello crafty friends :o)   Here's my post for Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog where this month is Anything Goes.  

Who doesn't love Fall; the smells, the colors, and the crisp air.  I found this cute Fall bendy card svg design at Lori Whitlocks: Flexi Card Fall Scene.  Picking out the papers can be fun, because you can make it look different based on the colors you pick out.

I cut out some extra leaves to put inside and around.  The Happy Fall is a stamp from Stampin'Up.

Dr Digi Scary Halloween

Hello crafty friends :o)  I'm here today with a Dr Digi post. 

Using a Lori Whitlock svg file of Pop Up Box Card Halloween Headstones and just adding some extra details using my Prismacolor pencils, some extra die-cuts, to make my Dr Digi card extra spooky.   The image Scary Pumpkin, backing paper Skull N Bone and the sentiment from Halloween Sentiment sheet; all come from Dr Digi. 

Acetate paper was used for the inner brackets that hold the bats, I thought it looked better than solid paper, almost like they are really flying.  Some glitter scattered throughout the sky to give some sparkle.

It does come with a film strip to cut out, but I had some file strip from Idea-ology to use.  I thought it would be a cute idea to use some real film instead.   There was room on the back to write a little message.
