February Blog Hop

Have you missed seeing our Creative Team goodness this week? Well, we have a lot of talent to share with you today. Lori has recently released some double page layouts in both SVG and Digital Scrapbooking/PSD format. I want you to see what you can do with these different files and our creative team has so happily obliged, told you they were the best.

First the SVG’s, these files are designed to be used with Silhouette machines and can be found here in Lori’s shop. After opening the file you will see how the layout is assembled. Ungroup the pieces, sort and cut from your favorite pattern paper/cardstock. Assemble all pieces onto background paper (not included in cutting file) and VOILA, a beautiful layout to add to your scrapbook. Pieces can be moved around and placed/used any way your heart desires.

SVG FILES in Lori’s Shop

IF you are not a die cut kind of paper crafter, these files also come as digital scrapbooking kits, and are found at here at Jessica Sprague . They have been created as layered PSD’s, which means you can use the pieces as clipping masks in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop. These are ready for you to add your favorite pattern papers, ribbons and photos and the layouts are done.

PSD FILES in the Jessica Sprague Store

We created these layouts with the idea that you could throw these into your Project Life albums and mix it up a bit. The smaller photos slots are 3×4, which is a perfect fit for any of Lori’s Life Cards in her shop both here and at Jessica Sprague.

Without further ado, please let me show you the order of our blog hop today. These ladies are truly amazing and have shown you different ways to use these layouts, both digital format and SVG’s.  When you are done be sure to come back here and leave a comment so you can be entered in our drawing for a $20 gift card to Lori’s shop. She has amazing shapes there and more coming each week.

Eye Candy by Amanda and Corri

Amanda is also here today to share a really fun technique with us for some adorable organizational tag embellishments. She says…
I used the 5 charms file 
Other supplies:
Distress ink
cardstock
gold and clear embossing powders
Versamark inkpad
Heat tool
Typewriter or computer to print the label names
I used the 5 charms file to create some faux-metal tags to label some of my crafty storage jars.
 
Step 1: I cut the charms out with my Silhouette from smooth white cardstock.
Step 2: I typed out the labels I needed and trimmed them to fit my tags. I distressed them a little with some brushed corduroy distress ink.
Step 3: I inked the charms with versamark ink and embossed with gold powder. I repeated this 3 times to get a very thick coat of enamel.
Step 4: Whilst the powder was still melted, I pressed the printed label into the enamel, so that it sunk in.
Step 5: I added another embossed layer over the top of the whole charm, this time using clear embossing powder. This sealed in the cardstock labels and gave the whole charm a nice glossy sheen. It also had a bit of a reaction with the gold powder and gave the charms a nice antiqued appearance.

Next I have a cute treat box and card by Corri…

I have a cute Spring project today using the Echo Park – Sweet Girl collection that was desgined by Lori Whitlock.  This collection will definitely get your in mood for Spring….the colors and patterns are so beautiful!

Lori recently added this adorable Bird House Treat Box to the shop.  It’s so adorable and perfect for Spring! 

I used the yellow wood grain paper from the collection for the base and the turquoise chevron for the roof.  The roof is secured with ribbon that threads through the base of the box….so cute!

Of course, I had to make a card to match….

The files I used on my card are
Bird on Branch 2
Clouds
Card Base
