Lori Whitlock August 2017 Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to this month's hop!!  I'm so happy to be back here on Lori's Creative Team, looking forward to the next couple of months!  For my blog hop project, I'd like to share a card using the adorable turtle shaped birthday card and the birthday balloon bouquet files.

I cut out the balloons in white cardstock and colored them in with my new distress oxide inks, except for the yellow.  The rest of the paper is from Doodlebug Design.

Here's a closer look at the adorable turtle.

Christmas Tags with Twine Stitching - Doodlebug Design Team Project

Hello, I have a couple of Doodlebug Design Christmas tags to share with you today. For this Stitched Twine Challenge, I used a couple of cutting files from the Here Comes Santa Claus collection, you can get this from the Silhouette Online Store or Lori Whitlock's Online Shop in svg format.

I used three of the here comes santa claus ornament cut files and made cutouts for each tag using my Silhouette Cameo. Silhouette Studio has a nice rhinestone feature, I used that to create the holes for my stitches, size 1 spacing .2 worked perfectly for me.

The tags have three layers, top with the cutout and stitching on the gingham, patterned paper for the middle and a shadow layer using textured cardstock.

For the stitching, I used a simple back stitch and on the chunky twine I knotted and frayed the ends.

The little tags were printed then cut with my Cameo, which I layered onto another tag cut from silver sprinkles vellum.

Swimming By - My Creative Time Trending Now

Hello and welcome, my project I'd like to share today is a MCT trending now under the sea card.  This was a quick and easy card to make using the Sea You Soon set.  I used some distress oxide inks to great the background and spraying with some water, I then stamped the fish and colored with a gray watermarker.  The turtle was cut out with the coordinating die that comes in the set.
