Lori Whitlock | Baby Shoe Favor Tutorial

Looking for a really cute Baby Shower Favor?  How about this adorable little Baby Shoe (SVG, Silhouette).   

This little shoe is easy to assemble and can be made in any color to match your shower theme! 

Start out by cutting the pieces.  You have 2 bottom pieces (each the same size) and the top of the shoe.

On the "wrong" side of one of the bottom pieces, I measured up about one inch from the heel and drew a line. (the bottom pieces both have a wider end which is the top of the shoe, and a narrower end which is the heel.)  You don't need to do this part, I just found it easier to place where to start gluing on the shoe top.

Starting at the 1" mark, glue the top of the shoe to the bottom piece going in the direction of the top of the shoe.

Continue all the way around the shoe, making sure there are no gaps.   When  you  are  done, there will be an overlap of one tab.

Add a little adhesive in the overlap of the top piece and secure.

Add the second bottom piece to the bottom of the shoe to cover the tabs.

All that is left is to glue the shoe strap  down and decorate!  I added a button to the strap and a little bow to the shoe top.  Now to fill it with a sweet treat!

This tutorial will also help with the assembly of the Explosion Box Baby Shoes File (SVG, Silhouette).  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Study Abroad Layout

My daughter spent the last year studying in Scotland for her junior year abroad.  She really took advantage of the inexpensive flights and accommodations in Europe... so much so that we joke that the year was more about the "abroad" than about the studying! I wanted to create a layout showcasing some of my favorite pictures from her travels.  I was inspired by some of the fun icons in the Fun in the Sun SVG Collection... take a peek...

I created the Silhouette file for the Study Abroad, and filled the letters with my favorite pictures.  I  backed the Study letters with papers from a combination of the Simply Spring and Sugar & Spice 6x6 pads.  The background papers are also from the Simply Spring Collection... they were the perfect fit...the ruled paper for the study theme and the clouds for the travel abroad theme!  Here are some close-ups...

Of course I had to use the airplane file from the Fun in the Sun collection. I embellished with some clouds from Fun in the Sun collection and stitching for the plane trails.

How cute is the little globe??

My daughter loved all the bicycles in Amsterdam so I just had to add the bike cut file.  To complete I added some stitching for the ground and some flowers sprinkles.

If you would like to use the Study Abroad Silhouette file, you can download it free from my blog here.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!

Doodlebug Design | Pill Better Stamped Cards

Do you have a large collection of cards?  I must have 100 cards in a basket that I've made for various assignments.  But when I needed a get well card, could I find one... of course not.  I decided I needed to "remedy" the situation (yes, pun intended...) and make a few cards using the fun new Doodlebug Design Pill Better Stamps and Dies.

Instead of coloring my stamped images, I decided to paper piece them.  The combination of cute Doodlebug stamped images and fun papers... it's certain to make anyone feel better!  I started with the band-aid stamp.  I stamped it on both sides of the different petite prints papers, then hand cut the images to add them to my card.

My next card is a fun shaker card.  I paper pieced the prescription bottle and then added some Dot Stripe Petite Prints to half of the cute little pill stamps.  I made a shaker with the pills and some colorful Doodlebug Sequins.

My last card, in my opinion, is the funniest... 

I paper pieced the tissue box with the blue checked paper from the Simply Spring 6x6 pad.

There are so many different images and sayings in this cute set, the possibilities are endless!

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Seasonal Welcome Sign

Do you decorate for the seasons?  I have friends who completely redecorate for each holiday, or season.  I don't go that far, but I do love to change things up a little!  I decided to make a fun welcome sign for my entryway that I could change each month.  

I started with a 40" x 8" whitewashed board.  I cut the letters from chipboard, then from the checked side of the Simply Spring Under My Umbrella paper.  I layered them to give them a little more substance and glued to the board. I then set to creating the "O" in welcome for each month using Doodlebug's fun cut files.  Each of the shapes used to form the "O" are attached with Velcro so they can easily be changed up each month.  I pieced together each shape using Dot Stripe Petite Prints and backed them with chipboard to make them more sturdy.  

Here is a look at each month's icon...

They all look so cute on the sign!  Take a peek...
January - April

May-August

September - December

I have the sign standing in the corner of my entryway, but you could also hang it on a wall if you wanted.  I love how the sign looks and it makes me feel a bit more festive!  That's it for me, thanks for stopping by to peek!
