Valentine Cat Bag & A2 Card Gift Set

Hello Crafty Friends, with Valentine's Day less than 2 weeks away today I want to share with you an adorable little bag & card gift set I made using one of the newest files from Lori Whitlock called Valentine Bag Cat (SVG), (Silhouette). I also created a matching card using an A2 card Base (SVG), (Silhouette)


To start off I cut out all the panel pieces for the bag. Make sure you cut 2 of each of all the panels that make the cat, (if you are making the card). I did not need to alter the size of the cat in any way as it fit nicely onto the a2 card base. Now start by putting all your pieces together for the cat by following the steps below.


Now it's time to put the bag together. Glue all your bag panels onto the bag base. 


Note the next step I did after glueing the panels, but it may be slightly easier to do before the panels are glued on, as the cardstock will be more flexible. Mountain fold the bottom flaps & valley fold the sides of the bag.


Next glue the side tab of the bag.


Glue the base then set your bag aside for the time being.


Now to create our matching A2 card. Firstly cut out all the panels. You will see that I have an extra rectangle piece of cardstock which is not in the file. I just cut out a rectangle 1.25" x 4.25" with the same paper I used on the side of my bag so that it coordinates with my card. 


Glue the 2 front panels onto the card base.


Glue the extra rectangle piece onto the far right side of the inside of your card, so that when you close your card it will be visible from behind the pinking pattern.


Lastly to finish off place a cat onto the front of your bag & another onto the card front. I used foam squares to give it dimension. Then add the ribbon to your bag & any other embellishments you wish. Today I have kept it simple & only added a heart stickle. 




Supplies:
Paper: Doodlebug Design - Sweet Things Collection
SVG File: Lori Whitlock - Valentine Bag Cat (SVG), (Silhouette)
                                  - A2 card Base (SVG), (Silhouette)
Doodlebug Doodle Sprinkles & Ribbon from my stash.

Mixer Shaped Card

Hello crafty friends, today I want to share with you a sweet card from the Lori Whitlock file called Mixer Shaped Card (SVG), (Silhouette).


For this card I have combined a few of Lori's files. I started by puting together all my pieces for the Mixer Shaped card. I have then taken the whisk from Lori's Box Card Love Apron file (SVG, (Silhouette) & glued that down. Lastly I added some flowers from the Doodlebug Farmhouse Mixing Bowls file (SVG), also available from the Lori Whitlock store.
This file is so versatile. It can be used for many themes including Valentines, Birthdays & Christmas as well!


Supplies:
Paper:  Doodlebug Design - Made with Love Collection

3D Hot Cocoa Mug with Cookies for Santa

 Merry Christmas Crafty Friends!🎅
Did you make sure you left some cocoa & cookies for Santa? 
Today I am popping in for a quick tutorial to show you how I made this cute 3D Hot Cocoa Mug (SVG, Silhouette) & Cookies for Santa (SVG, Silhouette), from Lori Whitlock.


First cut out all your pieces & glue your panels on.


Next glue the 2 handle pieces together then glue the handle tab to the inside of a mug panel.


Now valley fold all your mug tabs & start glueing each piece one by one. It helps to slightly bow the panels inward before you start glueing.


Now fold the tabs down for your cocoa lid. Next take the white froth piece & fold inwards each panel. Then gently one by one overlap each panel till they sit in place, but do not push down all the way. Now glue the froth onto the cocoa lid. The lid sits on top so you can put some treats inside the mug.


To make your saucer & plate, valley fold your scored plates & glue the end tab on the base. 


Then take the hexagon piece & glue that down onto the bottom centre.


Then on one of the plates stick down your biscuits. I used foam tabs to create a bit of dimension. Now mountain fold your cookies sign & your done!


They make the cutest little gift with treats inside! Or even a prop for your Elf on the Shelf!


Don't forget to check out all the other 3D Mugs, which include 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Penguin (SVG, Silhouette), 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Santa (SVG, Silhouette), 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Snowman (SVG, Silhouette), 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Gnome (SVG, Silhouette), 3D Hot Cocoa Mug Polar Bear (SVG, Silhouette). They can also be found in a Bundle, which includes all the 6 3D Mugs & the Cookies for Santa, (SVG).

Reindeer Pop Dot Card - December Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock


Hello friends! Welcome to the Lori Whitlock December Blog Hop!

Blog Hop Order:
Noelene Apap <--You are here

Hello Crafty friends, you may remember last month I shared the Snowman Pop Dot Card. Well today I am sharing another called Reindeer Pop Dot Card from Lori Whitlock, (SVGSilhouette).

I raised some of my panels using pop dots for dimension as well as the whole reindeer onto the base of the card. I inked the edges & used embossing folders on the top of the hat & scarf for a little more detail. 
Tip - Always cut panel pieces first before you emboss, then lightly spray with water before you run panel through your machine with embossing folder. I did omit the water spray this time as I did not want the ink to run.
For my base panel I used some Shabby White Embossing Enamel for some gold & white texture.
I wanted to have a border on my base so I enlarged it by .125" to create the border.
