August Blog Hop – Summer Meets Spooky!

Summer is still in full swing, and we’re soaking up every bit of sunshine, warm evenings and those long summer days…

But wait… did you see that?!
Every now and then, a little ghost seems to pop up! Yes, it may still feel like summer, but Halloween is slowly creeping closer… and before we know it, it will be time for pumpkins, ghosts, bats and all things spooky! 🎃🦇👻

So for our August Blog Hop, I decided to mix the best of both worlds: a little summer sunshine with a tiny spooky twist! 🌞👻

I used this summer Boxcard SVG or Silhouette


I did cut off 1 of the swimsuits

I replaced the swimsuit with a little ghost from one of Loris cute Halloween files SVG or SILHOUETTE

Lori Whitlock April Blog Hop!

Welcome to the April Blog Hop featuring the beautiful designs of Lori Whitlock!

This month I created a baby card, because I’m completely in a grandma-to-be vibe right now… I’m becoming a grandma in June!!! 💙
It’s such an exciting time, and of course I couldn’t resist making a sweet card to celebrate the arrival of a little one.

For this project, I made a baby boy card in a fun Z-fold style.
I love how interactive this type of card is it gives you a little something extra compared to a standard card, and it’s perfect for showcasing all those adorable baby elements.
I used sweet colors to make it extra special for welcoming a baby boy.

You can find the card I used here: Lori’s shop (SVG) or go here Silhouette Design store

Lori Whitlock September Blog Hop

September’s Blog Hop Fun + Giveaway! 

For today’s hop I created an easel card designed by Lori Whitlock, it is called A2 Easel Card Fall Squirrel . I decided to give it a little personal twist! Instead of the original “Happy Birthday” sentiment, I left the text off and added two cute 

little acorns. 🍂 This way, the card feels a bit more neutral and can be used for many different occasions – not just birthdays.

I love to ink my edges as you can see in the pictures below to give the image a 3d effect.

You can find the original file both individually and as part of a bundle directly from Lori’s shopYou can find them here.

Single SVG / Bundle

💝 And there’s more! You can join the giveaway during this hop and get the chance to win a 20 dollar giftcard.

Plus, don’t forget to grab 30% off in Lori’s shop – it’s the perfect time to stock up on your favorite designs.

Lori Whitlock April Blog Hop!

Thanks for stopping by during this April blog hop!
This month, I created something cute and fun to celebrate Easter: a chick-shaped Easter lantern!

SVG single file or bundle / SILHOUETTE

I made two versions, a boy and a girl.
For the girl version, I added a sweet little detail: the bow is taken from Lori Whitlock’s lamb lantern file.
It’s a small touch, but it gives the chick an extra charming look!

These little lanterns make perfect springtime decorations, and you can even pop a small LED light inside to bring them to life.
They’re sure to add a joyful, handmade touch to any Easter celebration!

Make sure to hop along to the next stop in the blog hop, there’s so much lovely inspiration to discover!

Don’t forget to stop by Lori’s Shop and checked out all of her Easter/Spring designs she has so many cute designs with a discount!

Inspiratie | Leuke Paaskaart!

Vandaag even het kaartje laten zien die ik als korte tutorial voor het Lori Whitlock blog gemaakt heb.

Het is een kaart die je plat kunt versturen maar heel schattig rechtop kunt laten staan als je hem ontvangt!
Dit soort kaartjes vind ik echt geweldig, en geloof me, de ontvangers reageren altijd super enthousiast!

Hieronder laat ik nog wat fotos zien, hierop zie je hoe de kaart in elkaar zit.

Zoals je op de laatste foto ziet heb je genoeg plek om een persoonlijke boodschap achter te laten.

Link naar Blogpost : https://loriwhitlock.com/box-card-easter-bunny-carrot-car-tutorial-tamara/

Wat helemaal leuk is, je krijgt dit bestand nu in de paasbundle als je een Silhouette machine aanschaft bij www.villafolie.nl , Ook zijn de files los te koop via de silhouette store of via Lori haar shop, linkjes hiervan vind je in de blogpost die hierboven vermeld is.

Liefs,
Tamara

December Blog Hop 2024 – Christmas gifttags

Handmade Christmas Gift Tags with Lori Whitlock Designs

The tags are also available separately in Silhouette store and in Lori her shop as well.

This year, I gave my Christmas gifts a creative twist with beautiful handmade gift tags designed by Lori Whitlock. Using my Silhouette Cameo, I brought these designs to life, cutting them from just a few colors of cardstock to perfectly match my holiday wrapping.

Lori Whitlock’s designs are stunning, with delicate details like snowflakes and whimsical shapes that add an extra-special touch to any present. These tags aren’t just pretty—they’re also practical, with plenty of space to write a heartfelt message on the back.

If you’re looking for a way to make your gifts stand out this Christmas, I highly recommend trying out these designs. They’re easy to create, fun to make, and guaranteed to bring smiles to everyone on your gift list!

November Blog Hop 2024 – Snowman Giftbag

Crafting a Festive Treat Bag for My Son’s Classmates, was on my to do list…

With the holiday season just around the corner, I was on the hunt for a unique way to spread some cheer at my youngest son’s school Christmas dinner. I wanted to create something fun and festive for his classmates to take home, and that’s when I found a project that was so cute, I had to make it. Lori’s designs are always a joy to work with, and this treat bag is no exception.

For this project, I used my Silhouette Cameo 5, paired with an electrostatic mat for cutting. The end result was a set of adorable, holiday-themed treat bags – perfect for candy and a little gift.

You can find the design here:
single SVG or bundle SVG / SILHOUETTE

As you can see, the bundle has 3 very cute gift bags in it.

Silhouette | Graveren met de Curio 2

Graveren, ik vind het geweldig… en met de Curio 2 helemaal!

Ik heb de Curio 2 geleend en moet zeggen, ben helemaal overtuigd dat ik die erbij wil… en Ja ik weet ik heb het een en ander in huis al… maar dit… nog niet 😛

Hieronder zie je wat foto’s van graveren en opgevuld!! graveren van metaal.

Zeg nou zelf… als je naar het filmpje hieronder kijkt… geweldig toch!

En als deze je niet overtuigd… dan even deze bekijken!

Echt ik ben helemaal enthousiast geworden hiervan! Ook op plexiglas kun je prachtig graveren, en nog belangrijker je afbeeldingen opvullen!

2 Dezelfde afbeeldingen op 2 verschillende manieren gegraveerd, de bovensten met de routeren graveer functie en de onderste met de normale manier. ik ben zo blij met die bovenste versie! Dit is toch helemaal geweldig!

Heb jij nog vragen, laat het hieronder weten!
Of kom tijdens de KreaDoe langs bij de stand van Villafolie, daar laten we je graag alles zien!

Liefs,
Tamara
