COMBINING COLLECTIONS WITH UNEXPECTED RESULTS | with Brigit

The hats off collection along with the pocket card from the dragon tails really came in handy for a bunch of gift card holders I had to make for an upcoming party. These definitely were a super easy and fun project to put together.


 I adjusted the size of the pocket card and added two notches on the inside card to hold the gift card securely.


I added the bookworm to the congrats ribbon and print and cut the fronts out, this made it quick and easy to then assemble the pieces together.


Adding the crushed velvet belly band with some chunky twine dressed up these gift card holders. I used pop dots to adhere the ribbon to the pocket which holds down the flap along with the graduation clip.

FLORAL BOX CARD | with Brigit

For today's project, I created a box card using the flower envelope cut file, (svg, silhouette) and paper from one of my favorite collections Hello. I've wanted to make this project for a while now, I just thought the flowers coming out of the envelope would make such a lovely 3d card.

I used Silhouette Studio and made adjustments so I could turn it into a box card. There is a front, middle and back panel, the liner is the middle which most of the flowers are glued onto, except the few on the front. I really love how it came out and it folds nicely so it can fit into an envelope.

The back has an oval cutout that the friend chit chat fits in, it's popped onto the middle panel. I created all the patterned paper layers using the internal offset in the software.

Doodlebug Products Used:

hello 12x12 paper pack

hello chit chat

hello assortment glitter sprinkles

SIMPLY SPRING | Gift Set with Brigit

I love working with Doodlebug's cut files, they are absolutely the cutest and the Simply Spring collection is one of my all time favorites. It has pretty flowers, adorable kids and darling little bugs. The papers are wonderful, great designs and all the coordinating embellishments are simply delightful.

The bees (svg) are so sweet, though they both would make a great shaped card I chose the one with open wings for my gift set. I added some swimming pool twine, love matte sprinkles, a little flower from the may flowers sprinkles and a sticker from the this and that sheet.


I used a treat box from the silhouette store and made a cutout using the simply spring window flower box, (svg, silhouette). Instead of using the flowers in the cut file I replaced the with some may flowers sprinkles. I decorated the rest of the box using the icon stickers, chit chat, sunny sky clip, and bumblebee twine.

HOPPY EASTER | Easter Banner with Brigit

I started to decorate for Easter and needed a little banner to hang so I made this cute one using the chick in eggs svg file and paper collection from Hoppy Easter.

I usually like to put a banner for every holiday and I thought this little chick was simply adorable and totally perfect. I love all the cute little stickers especially the bunnies, too cute!

I cut all the chicks the same with two different yellow cardstocks colors and each egg with its own patterned paper then decorating with the icon stickers. Such a quick, easy and fun project to make.

SIMPLY SPRING Cards using Cut Files | with Brigit

I had so much fun putting these shaped cards together using the new Simply Spring paper collection and cut files. Love all the colorful flowers, adorable little insects and pretty papers!


The cut files come in svg format sold at Lori Whitlock's online store and studio format at the Silhouette Design Store.


For all the cards I used the svg files, laying out my design in silhouette studio business addition so I can save it as an svg to import into cricut design space to cut out on my cricut maker. I created an offset of the whole design this is the base of my shaped card. Sometimes I will mirror up the offset and nudge it down and weld to create the whole card but for very uneven tops I just duplicate the shape and score about a 1/2" down from the top and glue it to the other base piece.


I think this is my favorite, I love this bouquet in jar cut file. Doodlebug's colorful textured cardstock and the pretty plaid paper from simply spring 12 x 12 pack really makes this card pop!


I love this one too, instead of the lavender flowers going up I reversed them to flow down the can and added a couple more flowers to fill in the empty space.

Lots O' Luck - Leprechaun Trap | with Brigit

St. Patrick's Day is definitely a well celebrated holiday among my family members we are all about wearing green and drinking Guinness!! So I'm always excited for a Doodlebug St. Paddy's collection and Lots o' Luck is simply adorable!!


For my project, I used the gold coin inn svg file, I think this collection is absolutely perfect for this leprechaun trap, I really love how it came out.

I didn't have wood to make the ladder so I just used some of Doodlebug's gold sugar coated cardstock and it really came out great. I cut two pieces 1 1/4" x 6" and scored it down the long way 1/4" four times, then I punched 5 holes an inch apart on each piece. I cut another strip 1 3/4" and rolled up about an inch each piece tightly to glue into each hole to form the ladder rungs.

Since the inn is supposed to be a leprechaun trap and I didn't have a coin I cut out two gold circles and used the gold shamrock sticker instead, also I used the st. patrick's day sticker instead of the sign that comes with the project.

FRENCH KISS Gift Set | with Brigit

This gift set using the French Kiss collection would make a great gift for any occasion throughout the year.

The beautiful bright papers and lovely designs in this collection really made this project pop, it was so much fun to put together!

The poodle sticker from the mini icons sticker sheet was my total inspiration for making this shaped dress card. I used the girl's dress and boys scarf from the french kiss couples svg file to create the dress, just a couple of alterations using silhouette studio.

I love the Ooh La La from the chit chat pack, it was the perfect embellishment for the front of this bag.

FRENCH KISS - Cut File Card Set | with Brigit

Here's a couple of cards I made using the French Kiss paper collection and cutting files. Though these are perfect for Valentine's day they can also be used throughout the year which makes the French Kiss such a versatile collection.

The cutting files can be bought in svg format from Lori Whitlock's shop, when they are released and also in studio format for the Silhouette machines.

I made a cut out in the middle of the flower circle using the candy box heart svg and then did a cutout of the I and you from the notes and paper file.

Here I used the chocolates 2 cut files, you can't really see in the photo but I used some glossy accents on the candies, gives them a nice shine.

For this card, I used an svg file which already had the love front panel made I just added you as a cutout. I find it easier to do cutouts of smaller letters and just add paper to the back, don't have to line them up!!
