Lori Whitlock Blog Hop: Beach Ball Purse & Flip Flops Card


Hello there!  The Lori Whitlock team is back with our monthly blog hop.  :)

I thought it would be fun to get creative with several of Lori's fun beach themed shapes and mix and match them to create something new.  I took her basic flip flops cutting file and welded a pair of them together to create a fun shaped card.  I then added some flowers from a separate cutting file set to dress them up.

For the purse shaped box I took advantage of the round scalloped shape that was already part of the cut file and layered half of a beach ball over the top to dress it up!  I get a little thrill from finding ways to mix and match my cut files to create something new and a bit unexpected.

I hope I've inspired you to take a closer look at these fun cutting files.  To recap, today I used the following cut files available in Lori's shop:
This week you can get 30% off all her and Kolette Hall's wonderful cutting files and fonts in her online store using the code "JUL2016" through July 18, 2016.  :)

    I love how you took the flip flop cut file and made a card. I am going to be making one of the 8X10 shadow boxes two display some of the 3D flowers. I really like all of Loris's designs and what the design team does with them . Thanks for the inspiration.

    Like the beach theme flip flops & beach ball purse. Like how you welded the flip flops together for a wonderful shaped card. The papers used for the purse compliments the beach ball look.
    Have a Bee-utiful day!
