Lori Whitlock Creative Team Blog Hop March 2026

 

Hi there and welcome to the March blog hop. The hop order is Lori, Brandie, Cathy, Chelsea, Sue, and Holly. I needed a birthday card and loved the new Spring Tulip cards. They are beautiful, bright and perfect for a birthday card. I used the Box Card Hedgehog Tulips card (SVG, Silhouette). I added the happy birthday sentiment to the front, but any sentiment would be darling.  

Thanks for hoping along today. Cathy is next.

Money Roll Gift Bag Tutorial

Hello there! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the Money Roll Gift Bag Birthday file (SVG, Silhouette). For this project I also used the Party Animal collection by Echo Park Paper Co. This little gift idea is perfect for a last-minute gift idea or that hard to shop loved one. 

After cutting everything out, I inked the edges of my bag, box, cake, and candles. I glued the decorative panels in place, assembled the cake, and folded all the score lines into mountain folds. Since I used patterned paper for the cake, I couldn’t use the print and cut feature, so I added a few stickers from the collection for the sentiment.

Once the cake was assembled, I glued the back and attached it to the front of the bag. I folded down the bottom tabs and glued each layer to hold it in place. For the money roll box, I glued the smallest tabs and secured each side. The back of the box stays open and will fold shut once the money roll is tucked inside.

The file includes a print-and-cut tab to attach to the end of the money. I used low-tackhi washi tape to secure the tab and connect the money end to end. Starting from the end without the tab, I rolled up the bills, fed the tab through the slot in the money roll box, and then closed the box. The money roll box fits perfectly into the bag.

This money roll gift set is sure to be a hit with the recipient and will make gifting money exciting as the tab is pulled. Thanks for stopping by today, and happy crafting!

Lori Whitlock Creative Team Blog Hop February 2026

Hello and welcome to the Lori Whitlock design team blog hop! The hop order this moth is Lori, Brandie, Cathy, Chelsea, Sue, Noelene, and Holly. Today I am sharing a little gift I made for Galentine's Day for some of my friends. I used the 2 on 12x12 Envelope Flavor Box (SVG, Silhouette). I did modify my boxes a little. I cut off the borders for some of the hearts because I didn't cut out all the hearts for the back of the box. The size of this box is perfect to tuck a few chocolates and small note inside.  

Thanks for hoping along with us today! Cathy is up next. Be sure to grab that coupon and enter the giveaway!

3D Lantern Belly Snowman

Hi there friends and happy Winter! Did you all survive the holiday? Ready for the next one? I'm not. We are planning a low-key New Years, cozy home party with an early bedtime! Ha! 

Today I am sharing the 3D Lantern Belly Snowman (SVG, Silhouette). This cutie is a darling winter decor piece and so easy to assemble. I used papers and a sticker from the Winter Fun collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also added a battery powered light to the inside of the snowman. 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic rest of 2025 and get to do something you love.

Candy Holder Christmas Ornament

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the new Candy Holder Christmas Ornament Santa (SVG, Silhouette). This ornament comes in several different styles as well. You can find the bundle here. I used the Lindt Lindor chocolate and found that a heavier (85lb) cardstock worked better than a lighter (60lb) one. But these are defiantly a great scrap buster project. These cuties would look great tired to a gift as well as hanging on a tree. 

After I cut everything out, I decided to discard the round cheeks for some pink chalk that I applied with a paint brush. I then assembled the faces of my characters. The front of the Santa also has a belt, a white ruffle for the hat, an additional cover for the top of the hanger and a white ruffle for the bottom of his jacket.  

With front of the characters done I folded the score line into mountain folds. Before tucking the candy into the belly of the ornament I used some glue dots to secure the wrapper onto the back of the candy. I then added glue to just the top of the inside of the ornament. Creating s little A-Frame shape with the ornament. The chocolate then slides right into the belly of the ornament. 

I added a sticker and tied some bakers twine to the top. 

These are a cute fun project. Thanks for stopping by today!

Miniature Christmas House Craft

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing a cute snow globe craft I put together with the Miniature Christmas House for Snowglobe (SVG, Silhouette). This project is perfect for a kid's craft. It uses very few supplies, comes together quick and is very lightweight.  It also makes a darling Christmas or Winter decoration. I used papers and sticker from the Winter Fun collection by Echo Park Paper. I found the DIY snow globe and fake snow at the dollar store a few years ago but they are also available on Amazon.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy crafting!
