Happy 4th of July!  Enjoy your holiday!

Sweet As Honey Card and Layout Class

 Here are the photos of my Sweet As Honey Class.  I have designed this kits with lots of love, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. 

 Almost everything has been cut for you, there is black and white card stock in your kit to layer and mat.  You can tell from the photos, pretty close to what size you need to cut.  The photos are jumping point for your creativity.  Everything is layered in bags for the cards and layouts, (the layouts pieces are separated by a piece of printer paper).  Don't fret the measurements just play and create.  

Even though the cards are scored, still line up the corners and hold them as you fold.  I have left some pieces for you to cut, so you can create as you wish.  You can embellish and get carried away by the cuteness.  Some envelopes are included...some won't fit in envelopes.  

You will need a paper trimmer, ruler, scissors, adhesive, glue dots, pop dots, scor tape, and baby powder.

The back side holds a little gift card.

Choose any paper for this card.  Lots of options, just trim to fit. 

Cut this piece as a whole, then divide and flip.

Just a bit a of trimming on this card, just size the flowers as you wish.

On this next to cards, remember to unsticky some of the stickers with baby powder.

You will need to cut the black for this layout, approximately 6 1/2 by 9, and the sunflower is 6x4.

The gnome paper is 6 1/2 by 9!

I am smitten with this line, and I could have kept creating forever....please keep creating with your leftovers....there's a ton.  Remember you have lots of black for matting and little strips, and you have two sheets of stickers, one in your pack and one that is just in your bag.  Plus your little ephemera kit.  Familiarize yourself with the pieces before you get started, or even spread it all out and organize it before you get started.  

Thank you for everything.

Relax and enjoy the process!

I  have layout to share with you today, I was super inspired by this layout by Nathalie for Doodlebug.  I just fell in love with it, so I had to lift....mine doesn't compare but I love it.  Someday I will start stitching on my layouts again.  But I had so much fun with this.  

I started with this rainbow file, I enlarged the rainbow and clouds.  I used the knife to cut it in half with the knife tool.  I used Lori's new Echo Park collection A Magical Place.  So fun!  I then added the 

Shaker Sunshine in Lori's shop, or here in the Silhouette Design Store.  I enlarged it also, and added a ton on Mickey Head Sprinkles.  Adding a shaker to a scrapbook page is a fun interactive element.  

Then I added the Dream Big, here in the Silhouette Design Store. 

I really enjoyed creating this page.

I had so much fun with this Box Card Envelope St.Patrick's Day that you can find in Lori's Shop or find it here in the Silhouette Design Store.  One of my favorite things to do with Lori's files is add fun embellishments from collection packs.  I just start with her design and I grab a collection pack with all the fun papers and stickers.  For this card, I just added the fun sticker elements.  Just remember to dust them with a bit of baby powder where you don't want them to stick.  I had a heart at the end of my rainbow, with a button and twine.  There are several Box Envelope files in Lori's shop, the possibilities are endless....and these fold flat for mailing.  

I love this little card and it fuels more of my gnome addiction.

Please hop along with these fabulous designers.  I am always thrilled to be in their company.

When I saw this file in Lori's shop, I fell in love...I just love to make little things like this and give them away to make people smile.  I ordered a ton of the little coffee cups and I will be making lots of people smile with these!  You can find the file here in Lori's Shop or here in the Silhouette Store.  So easy to make and the results are just too cute.  I plan on filling some with candy, some with hot cocoa and a Keurig Cup fits perfectly inside too.  I kept mine really simple and went with just a kraft colored holder, just like the ones at the coffee shop.  I added a couple of straws and a few hearts.  

Cute and simple.  

They are some really cute files that use these mini coffee cups and combined with Lori's other files, the possibilities are endless.

Thank you for stopping by!  Enjoy the hop!

Welcome to the December Hop and Merry Christmas to all of you!

I'm so happy to be back creating again.  I decided to created a little gift for part of our Secret Santa gift exchange at work and I found the perfect files to create with...

I made 4 A2 Christmas cards with envelopes and the cutest little box to give them in.  I used Lori's Little Lumber Jack Christmas collection.

I used the gnome from Lori's Gnome gift card tag or here in the Silhouette Design Store.  He was the perfect size.  I just changed up the paper for their hats and the sentiments for the fronts.  The box is just too cute, it holds all four cards and the envelopes.  The box is here in the Silhouette Design Store.  I just love how it turned out.

Thank you for joining us today.
