Strawberry Carton Box Card -Lori Whitlock

Hi Lori Whitlock fans - today I am up on the blog to show you how to assemble the adorable new Strawberry Carton Box Card.

This is a little different than the box cards that Lori has previously came out with so I wanted to walk you through how to put this card together. Lets get started!

   

 First off - open the file. It can be found here on the Silhouette Store or here on the Lori Whitlock site.  Here's what it looks like after I have ungrouped the box base from the leaves and strawberries.

 Next, just to make things easier - Lori has numbered the leaf layers to make sure you know how the layers go front to back on the inside of the box. I've numbered them even bigger so you can see better.

Here are the leaf layers ungrouped by the papers I used.

Just to note - there a little yellow circles on the cut file for the flower centers, but I used some glitter dot stickers on mine instead. :) 

For the label I did a print and cut title using Lori's LW Brush Font

Now that all the pieces are cut out, I assembled all the pieces. I added some brown ink to the edges of the cut outs for some added dimension.

Add adhesive to the leave layers as shown.

I then assembled the box.

I then started layering the leave sections into the center of the box. The first section is glued right to the front edge of the inside of the box.

Here is the box all assembled. It folds down nice a easy so you can send it to that special someone.

This was a really fun box to put together and now that I have shown you how easy it is to assemble, I hope I have inspired you to make a few of your own! Thanks for stopping by!

Mason Jar Shaker Tags - Doodlebug Design Bunnyville Line

Hi friends! I am blog today and I am up to share my Bunnyville project with you. I am always looking for fun ways to add Doodlebug products to my holiday decor and gift giving packaging. I was smitten with the adorable icons that come with the Bunnyville collection and knew that I wanted to make some fun shaker tags to tie on to these cute chocolate bunnies that I put in some mason jars. Check them out!

It was really simple to make these tags. I cut a tag shape using my Silhouette using the Coloring Eggs pattern paper and some Textured Cardstock. To make the tag a shaker I only had to add a couple of extra supplies. I cut out an additional tag for the back and then I added a sheet of acetate to hold the sequins in. To make the shaker window, I simply added some foam tape in between the acetate and the back tag and then added the sequins. I also decorated the tag window with some bunnies and eggs from the Icon Sticker sheet and some jellybean Sprinkle Shapes. I added some Teensy Type letter stickers to spell out my children's names. I then added a Fancy Frill along the bottom of the tag.

After I finished assembling the tags, I took about a yard of Chunky Twine and wrapped it around the top of the mason jar. I then added the tag, tied a bow and that was all! Super easy - but super cute and fun too!

Hopefully I have inspired you to pick up some Bunnyville products of your own to dress up your Easter holiday treats! My kids loved the extra touch of  shaker part of the tag! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Easter!

Lori Whitlock Creative Team March Blog Hop

 Hi friends - welcome to Lori Whitlock's March Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from Cathy's blog or you can start at the very beginning at Lori's blog where you can pick up this darling freebie that is available through today so make sure to stop back there!

With St. Patty's Day right around the corner - I thought I would share with you some really fun projects that I plan to give to my daughters to make them "Pinch Proof" for the big day. I did a Nail Polish holder and then made a fun topper for a bag with some festive socks to wear. 

 These were really fun to put together. I used the following files:
-Treat Bag Topper Butterfly (Silhouette) (LW Shop)
-5 Clover Shamrock Set (Silhouette) (LW Shop)
-Flag Circle Banner -for circle Tag  (Silhouette)
-LW Fun Font (Silhouette) (LW Shop)
-Nail Polish Tote Gift Set (Silhouette) (LW Shop)

Here are some close ups:
I place a couple of green nail polishes in this fun box. I then cut out a circle tag and tied the tag to the box. I used the adorable new Fun Font for my Pinch Proof sentiment

 On this bag I replaced the butterflies that originally come with the file to some shamrocks. I cut out 6 shamrocks, and then folded the top shamrocks in half and glued the centers only down on top of the other shamrock to make a pop up effect.

That' all there is to it! I can't wait to give these to my daughters! They were a lot of fun to make. People just love things in cute packages and Lori does such a good job at creating adorable packaging! Thanks for stopping by! Next stop is Courtney's darling blog!

Sweet and Simple Card Set featuring Doodlebug Design Swiss Dot Papers

 Hello Doodlebug fans - today I am up on the ol' blog  to showcase the adorable Swiss Dot pattern papers. These papers are some of my absolute favorites and I have loved all the different ways my Design Team friends have used the papers. I decided to do up a simple card set in some of my favorite colors to show you just how perfect the swiss dot papers are for a basic staple to keep in your scrapbook stash.

I did up 4 cards using some cardstock, and 4 colors of the swiss dot paper. I also added some other Doodlebug staples that I use on all my projects like bakers twine, buttons, Sprinkles and mini doilies. I had a lot of fun playing with all the fun designs and the swiss dot papers add that perfect touch of not being too busy, but adding some interest with the dot pattern. Here are the cards close up:

 As you can see in the card below - the papers are a solid color and a white dot on one side, and then white with a colored dot on the other side. So versatile and fun!

 That's all there is to them! Sometimes simple really is best, and I love that the adorable Doodlebug products were able to take center stage on these cards. Hopefully I have inspired you to whip up a batch of your own and use your favorite colors! Happy Crafting!!
