Lori Whitlock Boo Truck

 Box Card Halloween Truck (Lori Whitlock, Silhouette)

I made this cute Black Boo truck for my grandson. He drives a black truck at college so I thought this cut file would be perfect to send to him. It's a standard box card with added Halloween details. I also cut out his name in white vinyl and added it to the door. Just to add a little more fun! :)

Lori has so many cute Halloween files, it's just hard to choose a favorite... and a little personalization adds that extra special touch.

Enjoy,

Sue Kment🎃🎃👻👻

Penny Black October Saturday Challenge A/G or Bright Colors

 Penny Black Saturday Challenge

October Challenge

Anything Goes

or the optional theme-

Bright Colors

I had to make 2 cards with this cute stamp! I am in love with my new Stitched Circles dies as well.

This little stamp is currently on sale on the Penny Black site, so don't miss out if you have a shine for it!

This was actually a quick card to make. I colored the image and cut it out with my Scan N Cut2 and popped it up over the circle opening. A quick embossed sentiment and it's done. The hardest part was trying to figure out where to stick everything. Decisions!!

I used the following products:

Dies:

Stitched Circles

Stamps:

Bauble Balance

Delicate Pines

Paper:

Embossing powder and foam dots

Thanks for stopping by today!

Anything Goes

🎃🎃🎃Pumpkins 🎃🎃🎃

Hosted by our Talented Teamie - April

Pumpkins, Ghost and Mice Oh My!

For my card today I got out one of my wonderful vintage stamps from 2004! My, it seems like only yesterday I bought this colorful HM stamp from Stampendous. Just goes to show you how timeless these stamps are! (You can see if for sale here on Ebay-oh my!) 

Die hard House Mousers will remember many years ago when Stampendous used to also sell their stamps with fancy matching sentiments. Those were also fun! I'm using one for the next challenge!

I have two drawers of these HM sentiments. 

Ok back to the card...

I cut out this batty card base twice- sizing it so it was big enough to use with this stamp. The stamp is a very big one. I colored it with copics and did a little shading in the sky. I wish I had used a black, but too late now. :)

Stamp used: Pumpkins, Ghost and Mice Oh My! (Stampendous)

Silhouette cut file: Frame Ornate Bat Top Pair #331240 by Snapdragon Snippets

Lori Whitlock September Tutorial-Santa Paws Shaker Tutorial

Today I have this tutorial on the Lori Whitlock blog on how I used a simple cut file to make this card into a shaker card. 

Santa Paws Shaker

Vintage Postcard 4x6

This is what the file looks like (in the Silhouette software) when you open it. (I did highlight the first piece in red.) You need to choose the first two pieces for this card and delete the rest.

 

Make a duplicate of the red striped piece. (Cntrl + any arrow)

To get the frame without the cut outs, right click the frame and choose  Release Compound Path and remove the cut out pieces, leaving a solid frame. 

This is what your two frames will look like.  

Final cut pieces

 First piece you will cut your background piece (my blue sky) and a piece of acetate. Second piece is the solid frame-I cut 3  per page out of 8.5x11 generic white cardstock (9)-they won't show so you can use cheapo white cardstock. You can cut only one of the solid frame is you want to use foam for the edges of your shaker.  My final top piece is cut  out of red. 

First Stack-red piece glued to one white frame and the acetate is glued on the bottom. 

The second stack- glue all the white frames together(use enough to make a good size stack). I used 7 frames because my snowflakes where a bit thick.

Assemble second stack, add your shaker pieces inside and glue on  your top section.  I decorated the the top of the card with Lori's new Santa Paws dies! Viola! You can then add it to a card base and call it good!

Products Used:

Cut File: 6 pc 4x6 Vintage Postcard

(Lori SVG, Silhouette 33680)

Here Comes Santa Paws: 6x6 paper pad, Christmas Puppy Pals Die Set, Embossed Christmas Tree Die Set, Ephemera

I love all of Lori's frames, they are perfect for using as a great card base. 

I hope you give this a try!
