Floating Easel Card Sunflower

 Happy Thursday everyone! Today I am bringing you a tutorial over at the Lori Whitlock Blog for this fun floating easel card with a sunflower. 

As always, cut all your pieces and have your supplies ready. (You will need fishing line for this card).

I folded my 2 pieces on the score marks.

Then added the patterned paper to the base.

I assembled my sentiment and added dimentionals before centering it onto the base.

Assemble your flowers by offsetting the 2 colors of flower. I also embossed my centeres for a little extra texture. You will need to attached the backs of your 2 flowers with your fishing line between the 2 flowers. (my fishing line is yellow for you to see better).

Add your circle piece of patterned paper on top followed by your 1st circle boarder. Attach your fishing line to the top of the circle boarder left to right. Trim your fishing line so it does not go past the circle boarder. Add the 2nd circle board over top of the 1st.

When the card is done the flower will be hanging within the circle.

And when the easel is in place, it is a cute little floating sunflower.

I'd love to see if you make one of these fun card. Until then, thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

 Happy Monday everyone. Can you believe it's February already? That means Valentine's crafts! Today I made this little treat box to share.

I used 3D Gnome Treat Box found HERE. Then I messed with the contours on his hat to remove the stars and added 1 of the Nesting Hearts found HERE to make his hat Valentine Day worthy.  I used Echo Park Company's Valentine's Day paper designed by Lori Whitlock.

I loaded the little box with goodies and a giftcard and it's ready to be gifted.

5x7 Shutter Card tutorial

 Happy Thursday everyone!! I'm here with a quick and easy tutorial for you all today.

Here in South Dakota, at least my side of the state, we still haven't had any snow. So I created this fun little shutter card in hopes of encourging the snow to fly. We also all need a reminder that even the easiest cards bases can turn out super cute and detailed. I used the 5x7 Shutter Card found HERE. Its such a fun little card base. My paper is from Echo Park Company. It's Lori Whitlock's Winter Fun line found HERE.

As usual get all your pieces cut and organized.

The base itself gets folded on the score lines like the below photo.

Add your first patterened paper to the base remebering there is a bit of a mat on the base so don't line your patterned paper to the edge.

Go ahead and add your 2nd patterened paper like shown.

And add your white piece to the center. I did use some pop dots to pop mine up a little.

Decorate your card as you see fit. I used some chipboard stickers and some regular stickers. Again I used pop dots to give my cute fox some dimention. I also added some enamel dots for a little more fun and detail on the card. 

 

How cute is this card with such a simple and easy card base?!

January Blog Hop

 

HOW is it January ALREADY?! That means January birthdays! I made this Flexi Card Happy Birthday found HERE. I didn't realize how easy these were to make. (I did flip the orientation on my card.)

I used Lori Whitlock's new paper line with Echo Park Paper called Party Animal. This line can be found HERE. Such great colors in this line.

How fun is this card? I love the flexi pieces.

Finished my card off with this cute little balloon puppy from the sticker sheet.

Santa's Cookies Layout

 And the countdown to Christmas is on! Who's ready? NOT ME!! But I did take a great cookie decorating class recently to have some cute Christmas cookies and what a better way to show everyone the cookies than creating a layout!

I used the Echo Park Paper line that Lori designed called Santa Clause found HERE.

I used 3D Cookies For Santa SVG from Lori's website found HERE. But instead of making it a card, I added a background to the words and used it as a title. I cut one of the cookies and turned it into a shaker piece for one of my embelishments.  The rest of my embelishments were sickers and chipboard pieces from the paper collection.

December Blog Hop

 

Welcome to our Deember Blog Hop!!

Today I created a layout using a photo of my adorable grandbabies and some of Lori's great files.

I used the Trees Background Lace (found HERE) 

Then I layered the background on some of Echo Park's Santa Clause line (found HERE).

I embelished with some Nested Star cuts (found HERE) as well as some stickers from the paper collection and some Ephemra. I also used a brad and some enamel dots from the collection as well.

 

I absolutely LOVE the detail of the lace. It cut nice and clean and was easy to weed.
