October Mini Album 10/5

 Hi there crafty friends! We made it to October! Woohoo! Time for cooler weather, pumpkin everything, and spooky fun. The last few years I have created an October daily album for all the cute fun things I have done with my family. Since this year will be scaled back I wanted to create smaller version of an October daily. I used the Circular Pop Up Card (SVG, Silhouette) for a October mini album. (I used pictures from last year for an example.)

I used my sewing machine to stich around all of the cover panels. As I glued the cover panels on I left the tops open to create pockets for tags and extra pictures.

The papers, stickers, and embellishments are from the I Love Halloween collection by Echo Park Paper Co. 

I hope you are able to enjoy this Fall season and get a little crafting done. Thanks for stopping by.

A2 Insert Card Ideas

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a few ideas for some of the new insert cards in Lori's shop. There is lots of options, endless possibilities, and they are so quick and easy to assemble.  I used the A2 Insert Card Mandala (SVG, Silhouette), A2 Insert Card Flower Spray (SVG, Silhouette), and the A2 Insert Card Cut and Fold Butterfly 4 (SVG, Silhouette).

Once you have the images uploaded in Cricut Design Space you will have to decide which version you want to use. There are three. I used the folded card with the insert.

  

I ungrouped the images and deleted the flat card version and front cuts version. I also changed the middle score line from a cut to a score line. 

I folded the cards at the score line then tucked the insert into the card from the back (inside).  

I used white cardstock for the base of all three cards. I used a papers from the I Love Crafting collection by Echo Park Paper for the flower spray card and the butterfly card. I painted the flower spray card with watercolors. For the butterfly card I added sequins to middle of each butterfly for some sparkle.  I used distress oxide inks and gold paint on white cardstock to create the color blend for the mandala card. 

These cards really are so quick to assemble, look great as is or embellished, and will make the recipient so happy. That's it for me today. Thanks for stopping by!

Pop Up Butterfly Card

Happy Monday friends! I am sharing one of the new Pop Up Butterfly Cards (SVG, Silhouette). This card is so pretty and makes a big impact with the large butterfly on the inside. I love how adaptable they are as well. The colors and sentiment can be changed out as you need. I changed the sentiment from Thank You to Hello in Cricut Design Space and cut an extra decorative panel to add to the front of the card. 

I used the I'd Rather Be Crafting collection by Echo Park Paper.  Give this card a try. It really is lovely. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Lori Whitlock Creative Team July 2020 Blog Hop

Hi there and welcome to the Lori Whitlock July 2020 blog hop! The order this month is Traci, Anita, Brandie, Aimee, Ashley, Cathy, and Michelle. 

Have you seen the new word art in the shop? (Around the House Phrase Bundle) So cute. I used the Laundry Room Help Needed (SVG, Silhouette) to make this sign. I resized the image to be a 9x9 square and cut out in black vinyl. I then applied it to a DIY sign blank I found at Walmart. 

Now if I can just get the help with the never ending pile of laundry! LOL! Thanks for hopping along with us today.  Aimee is up next.

Paige Taylor Evans Guest Designer

 Hi there friends, Brandie Adams here from Conviviality Crafts! (Blog, IG, Facebook) I'm so excited to be one of Paige's Guest Designers and share three of my projects with you using Paige's cut files. 

My first layout I used the Zinia Flower #295917 This cut file is one that does not have a outline that encloses the image. I used the negative pieces to create the flower image rather than backing the positive image the cut file creates. I used fun foam under all of the petals to give the flower dimension and shadows. I the embellished with stickers, floral ephemera, and enamel dots. The patterned paper and sticker embellishments are from the Truly Grateful Collection. The flowers and tassel are from the Whimsical Collection. 

I love sunflowers and when I saw the Sunflower #320995  cut file I knew I had to make a mini album with it. I sized the sunflower to 5.5 width and 5.3 height. For the cover of the mini album I cut one sunflower with all the details and backed the center with a dark brown cardstock and paper from the Truly Grateful Collection I also cut seven more sunflowers of just the outline to crate a solid sunflower for the pages of the mini album. 

I embellished with pattern papers, stickers, and word stickers  from the Truly Grateful collection. I also used several flower ephemera from the Whimsical collection. The gold Thickers and ribbon are all from my stash. 

For my last layout I used the Maze Background #267505 I paired it with the rainbow colors in the Turn the Page collection to create a fun candy land themed layout. For embellishments I made some peaked flags and tags from paper, chipboard stickers, and the mini foam alphas, and several stickers from the Paige Evans sticker book. I also did a messy stich down the center line to hold everything in place. 

 This has been so fun to create with Paige's cut files and Pink Paisley collections. Thanks for having me!
