Hi Lori, I just want you to know I love your shadow box cards. I have several of them that I purchased through the design store on my Silhouette. I am a fan of your designs.
Thank you for the helpful construction video. I'm happy to see your Christmas/Winter designs, too. I always seem to want to start my Christmas cards in July; it helps combat the heat, and I know I won't be rushed at the end of the year.
Wonderful card! Looks amazing! I have some of these beautiful cards created for you from Silhouette Store, bit I have had some problems to construction... Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I don't know what happened I followed it thru and my card has a wave in the middle. It's cute but why I cut them all the same and glued them edge to edge.. fold to fold ? I will try again
+Tracee Pettee I actually printed off a snow scene like on photograph paper, to use one one of the other versions for a friend that is wishing for a white Christmas, but the weather report says it'll be too warm. It looked fantastic!! :)
I need help on cutting the shadowboxes. When I open it is only one image file - do I have to manually trace every small part and figure this out? I purchase the new nativity shadow box and it comes with no instructions nor video
No you should not need to trace anything. The SVG file includes all the cut lines you need. Are you sure you are opening the SVG file? Some computers make the SVG file look like an internet file... try opening that one in your cutting software. If you are still having issues, please email me at info@loriwhitlock.com and please include any images, machine, software info that you can.
@@loriwhitlock I see all the cut lines - but isn't multiple layers? Frustrating - there should be a video on cutting the shadowbox in multiple parts (front / back / white :( - I'll email you.
sent email - hope for clear directions - I have both the Santa near the fireplace shadowbox and the nativity which only show every single cut line on one layer not multiple layers - looking forward to a response - ugh
It looks like the last piece you put on you did it backwards the one with the tree the folded end should have been down like all the rest but you glued it with the fold going up I know this is an old video but just checking because it’s confusing
when I search the silhouette store I can only find the pop dot card, not this particular style with the extra edges for folding. I guess I could add the edge but I would not know what size to make it.
+Sean Nix I don't believe you are using the correct search criteria! Try searching for Shadow Box Cards in the Silhouette store. Additionally, I believe you can also purchase from Lori Whitlock. Here is an example www.silhouettedesignstore.com/view-shape/71474 Good luck!
Hi Lori, I purchased a few of your files, but when I open it in Silhouette, I'm lost. Do you have a tutorial that show how to size it on letter size paper? I'm addicted to your designs. Thank you.
+Jaline B I will work on a video for this. I don't currently have one. But, I do have a Craftsy class coming out soon and it will be a big help for learning the Silhouette. Watch for it shortly.
What a beautiful card. I would love to make one for my friend who lost her 19 month old so to cancer a couple of years ago. He was her only child. He LOVED birds. I usually make things for her that have birds on them. I have a few questions before I purchase. 1. Can I use this with my Cricut Explore Air? 2. Can I download SVG files onto my ipad (or do i have to have to do this on my computer)? I have never downloaded or used an SVG file at all. 3. I notice concerns others have with the waving. How do I keep that from happening? And 4. I assume the papers print out in the size needed and can be adjusted, but are there any indications of where to fold the sides. I really want to try this, but don’t want to spend the money and not be able to be successful. I love not basic cards. These files are fabulous.
Hi! Thanks for dropping by! What a great friend you are to make a card for your your sweet friend. To answer your questions... 1. Yes! 2. The computer is much easier for downloading, unzipping and importing into Cricut Design Space. 3. I'll be honest, it just takes little bit of practice. Don't expect your first one to be perfect. Use a nice heavy cardstock like 100# Cover. 4. YES, there are dashed score lines that your machine will cut that you will fold on. Because you are new to SVG files with your Cricut, I recommend that you watch a video I made to help customers use my files with Cricut (it teaches you how to attach the score lines so they stay with their respective pieces): czcams.com/video/mAfS3ar1XQY/video.html. I would love to hear how your card turns out! Have a good day! ~Lori
this is very helpful for this particular card, but does not help with your thank you shadow box card, as the inside pieces do not have the folding sides, but rather a separate piece that has several perforations that need to be cut, ..... then what?? card I am referring to is your thank you shadow box card 134633
Scotlass92001 I work for Lori. She has links to her favorite crafting items on her blog here: shop.loriwhitlock.com/papercrafting-products/ I hope this helps!
+tmoney Smith Hi, all of my cards can be resized, you just need to make sure you adjust all pieces evenly, to keep the proportions in line. You are only limited by the size of your mat.
Cissy Rich it will be available as an SVG on Monday. It's already in the Silhouette store, so I let the video go live for those customers. Watch for it Monday/Tuesday : )
Hi Lori, I just want you to know I love your shadow box cards. I have several of them that I purchased through the design store on my Silhouette. I am a fan of your designs.
Thank you so much for redoing this video. I just ordered the Silhouette yesterday. Looking forward to buy your files. Amazing.

Thank you so much Lori for updating this video:)
so beautiful
so glad I found this!!! I ruined a couple of these cards before I found this video, Love these cards, look forward to making more
what a nice job explaining this videos I wish everyone did that . thank you so much. awesome job love it
Really like the shadow cards! Thanks for the video too.
You make it look SOOOO easy!! I am actually a bit intimidated to attempt this! LOL
Wonderful card! Looks amazing!
I have some of these beautiful cards created for you from Silhouette Store, bit I have had some problems to construction...
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Amazing
Adorei muito
Super like para você
wowww, this is soo amazing, I ove it soo much.
Beautiful
how do you cut out the insides of the card before starting. I'm making a mess
what size envelope works best? regular 5x7 envelope is too small. Thank you
you are a clever dog!
I don't know what happened I followed it thru and my card has a wave in the middle. It's cute but why I cut them all the same and glued them edge to edge.. fold to fold ? I will try again
This is fantastic! Is there a way to make one of these without the Silhouette? I only have the Cricut Expression.
One of the things I realized is that with certain box card designs, a family photo might work in place the "blue" panel in back as shown in your video
+Tracee Pettee Good idea!

The adhesive gun she is using in the video can be found on Amazon for roughly $24.99 USD.. "Scotch Acid Free Advanced Tape Glider".

Lori, I saw that the shadow box cards are shown as 5x7. You also have frames. Do those shadow box cards fit in the frames?
I am thinking about using the nativity one as my christmas card (yes I know christmas is in two weeks) Does anyone know what the postage is on these?
link does not work in your video description
I just fixed the links. Give them a try, they should work, now.
Can I get the design?
I want to know the paper size.

Thank you so much for all your information.
It is difficult to see the white paper against the white table top. Other than that this is cool.
this is very helpful for this particular card, but does not help with your thank you shadow box card, as the inside pieces do not have the folding sides, but rather a separate piece that has several perforations that need to be cut, ..... then what??
card I am referring to is your thank you shadow box card 134633
The sides are made with the hidden binding technique in this video:

Can you use your files with the cricut explore?
Annette Betenson Yes you can : )
can this card be made to fit size of a 8 by 11 shadow box frame
+tmoney Smith Hi, all of my cards can be resized, you just need to make sure you adjust all pieces evenly, to keep the proportions in line. You are only limited by the size of your mat.
I can't find this card in your store when I do a search worded exactly as you have it.
Cissy Rich it will be available as an SVG on Monday. It's already in the Silhouette store, so I let the video go live for those customers. Watch for it Monday/Tuesday : )
thanks
can I do this on Cricut? love it!!!
+Chris Pecherzewski Yes, you can ; ) You can buy the files here: www.shop.loriwhitlock.com
