A Monster birthday card

 Halloween Monster # 155137

This card is not for Halloween but I thought it would be cute for a 7 year old birthday boy!  This cute file is designed by Miss Kates Cuttables-lots of layers but easy to make. I resized this little monster to fit a 5.5 square card and added a simple little birthday sentiment from Sweet and Cute Penny Black transparent stamp set. 

Hope you enjoyed this fun card!

Box Card Teacup Flowers-Lori Whitlock cut file

I think this little get well card would make anyone feel better! A touch of yellow to cheer you up!

I made this sweet teacup bouquet cut file and added my two cute little sick meecies peeping out from from the flowers and teacup. 

I had a crazy time taking pictures today. It was sunny, but oh so cold and windy...several times this sweet little card went flying. It was funny trying to hold the card and snap quickly! LOL

Lori Whitlock Shadow Box Card Golf Cart

  Hello! About once a month you will see a short little assembly tutorial for Lori Whitlock cut files here on my blog.

 Here we go!

 I wanted to show you how I put together this Shadow Box Card.  I'm making this golf themed card as a Thank You for my son-in-law. He's celebrating the end of tax season (he's a CPA) and can't wait to hit the fairways! The addition of the sun on this card is my wishful thinking for warmer weather...it is unseasonably cold here.

  Shadow Box Card Golf Cart (SVG, Silhouette)

This is a good size card-it folds down to fit in a 5 x7 envelope. There are many pieces but it assembles very quickly. FYI- You will need two 12 x 12 pieces of white cardstock for the main working panels of the card. 

This is the two main frame pieces. The slots will be on either side of the card.

These are the insert panels for inside the frame

This is all the smaller pieces. The blue piece is optional, but I used it as a sky.  The sun is from the Summer Set file. You can also find it here.

This is what the panels should look like when the colored cardstock is glued on. 

A view of the panels stacked to reveal your golfing scene!

 To assemble the main frame of the card you are going to glue the front frame to the back frame after you fold the end flaps in.

Make sure to flatten out each frame piece and align at the bottom when you glue the flaps. This will assure a nice fit for the inserts.

 Start by inserting the back panel in first, slightly bending the panel so that the top of the tab inserts into the side slit and then the bottom of the tab will follow easily. 

Here you can see the tabs after they were inserted into the side slots. Now you have a fun 3D diorama type scene!

A little tip. I bought some quarter inch blue painters tape and stick my little pieces on them. I always lose tiny pieces so I cut extras and add them to a piece of tape to keep them from escaping! 

I hope you will give this card a try-it was fun and easy to make. It would be perfect for any golfer in your life!

Birthday Wishes 

I received my new House Mouse stamps from House Mouse Designs! Whoopee!

I colored this Birthday Wishes image and used the Starry Night stencil for the yellow stars in the background.

I colored with copics and used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the image. I then cut the yellow matting with my Silhouette to get the exact size I wanted (offset at .075). I used the pretty pinked edge card base  Lori Whitlock 8.5x11 Background Shapes.  I resized it to 4.25x5.5. I also cut a few random pink stars to add as well. The sentiment is included with the set. I embossed the sentiment with Hero Arts white detail embossing powder.

Welcome to our April Blog Hop!  

Box Card Cherry Carton (Silhouette, SVG)

This is a very easy and fun file! I followed the file except I loved those little side flaps on the cherry box sticking out so I chose not to glue them down. The sentiment is a print and cut included with the file.

My creations for today are inspired by the beautiful cherry orchards in full bloom in my hometown! We will have cherries everywhere in a few more months-the more blooms the more cherries! 

A2 Cherry Jam Card (Silhouette,SVG)

Another simple card to make and such a cute design. I used some Lori Whitlock A Slice of Summer  red gingham checked designer paper for the top piece.  The tag is a print a cut as well. 

You can find  these files at either the Silhouette Store or at the Lori Whitlock Shop.

This really is sweet and cute!

I made this card for my Auntie Pearl's birthday. She will be 96 years young next week. She's an amazing lady.

For my card today I combined two images from the Sweet & Cute set and added the sentiment from Special Thoughts. I then cut the 96 with my Silhouette and added the numbers on to the card to personalize it. I also used the Penny Black stencils to add a bit of 'sky' interest as well.
