Crafting Creativity with Lori Whitlock
Project #1 – Fall Blessing Wreath Sign
I cut all of the cardstock pieces for the wreath using the Silhouette Electrostatic Bed along with my Cameo 5 . Once everything was cut, I started gluing the pieces of the wreath together and then added it onto a wood round that I’ve had in my stash for awhile.
I am loving the Silhouette Electrostatic Bed and not having to peel the cardstock off the adhesive sticky mat. I’ve cut lots of cardstock in the last year and it has saved me time.

Project #2 – Tiered Tray Wood Sign Decor
While I was cutting the cardstock for the wreath shown above, I cut extra flowers and branches. Then added some ink to the cardstock pieces and used shaping tools to give the flowers dimension before gluing them together. Once the flowers were assembled, I cut fall blessings from adhesive vinyl and added that to the wood block. Then arranged the flowers and glued them down on the left side. Added a bit of twine wrapped around the wood on the right and had a new sign for my tiered tray.

Project #3 – Pop Out Top Used for Place Cards, Cards, or Treat Toppers
This is such a fun design to create! For this pop out top card, I used the Fall Blessings design and print and cut. I shared the entire process to create this in a live YouTube tutorial on the Silhouette Secrets+ YouTube channel. In the video tutorial I not only shared how to create the design of the pop out top card, but also gave many tips for successful print and cut projects!

Project #4 – Magnetic Bookmarks by Teresa P.
I love these so much! After the Silhouette Live tutorial where I shared how to create the pop out top, I woke up the next morning to see these beauties posted on my group. My friend Teresa creates amazing things and she combined several of my tutorials to make some new magnetic bookmarks.
She used print and cut and added a holographic overlay on top to make them sparkle. In her region, they don’t use the term “fall” so she swapped it out for a few other designs to make it a better fit.
