Lori Whitlock December Tutorial

Hello there! My tutorial today is not on construction of a file but is more about time savings! We are all busy this time of year so I am going to show you how I whip up a few cute Lori Whitlock gift tags in minutes!

I chose a set of tags that were same style, different design. That's not necessary but makes for fast tracking your project if your time is limited and you want to add a special touch to your gifts. I double all the pieces to make 2 sets of tags.

Christmas Tag Santa (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

Christmas Tag Penguin  (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

Christmas Tag Polar Bear  (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

Christmas Tag Snowman  (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

In the Lori Whitlock Store you can also buy all of these tags as a bundle HERE.

 If you have a cutting machine, you should pop over and see an easy way to make these cute tags.

I hope you can find a few minutes to make these gift tags.

Lori Whitlock December Blog Hop

I made this cute Christmas Matchbox Bundle for the December blog hop. I'm trying to finish some projects so that I can use them for Christmas! These will be perfect for gift cards! They are just so cute! I added a few snowflakes and holly leaves to make them holiday ready! Those little holly is not included in the files, but they are included in many of Lori's other files. The snowflakes are just little doo dahs.

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

 Thanks for stopping in today, I do hope you 

enjoyed checking out my House Mouse inspiration!

Use A Die

 

Hosted by our Talented Teamie Sue K

Merry Little Christmas

For my card today I used this new little Merry Little Christmas stamp.

The die I used is a new one from Waffle Flowers named Postage Collage Die. I also used the coordinated stencil mask for the die set and the Postage Collage and Postage Collage North Pole stamps set. 

I have had my eye on this die set for a bit and wanted to try adding bits and pieces of my stamps instead of stenciling a scene. It was a bit of a test of patience but thank heavens for my Misti! I stamped different parts of my stamp in each square after masking off each square individually. I think it turned out pretty cute. It was a bit hard to get the image close to the edge, so I used my Copic multi liner pens to add a line or dots here and there to complete each little scene. That worked out just dandy. All my coloring was with copics.

Lori Whitlock November Blog Hop

 Flat Fold Tudor House Bundle

Aren't these so fun???  I love all the detail on these houses.  (Lori's Store, Silhouette Store House 1, House 2, House 3)

In Lori's store you can purchase them in a bundle or singly. 

I cut them in a festive color theme and decorated them with bits and pieces from  several other Lori Whitlock files. I used the swag and trees from Christmas House Card (Lori's Store, Silhouette Store) and the wreath and red bow from the Gingerbread House Treat box (Lori's Store, Silhouette Store).(I resized the decorations to fit the Tudor houses) 

Notice the details on all sides of the houses too!

I added in the inside window pane piece and then added vellum over the window openings. (cut pieces for all that included).  I will then add some little battery lights inside so the light shines through the windows.  These houses fold flat for storage or mailing.
