Welcome to the Lori Whitlock Blog!

Today I have a tutorial for you on assembling this cute 5 x 7 Flower Truck box card.

Let’s start.

Truck Body: Glue on the tires and the front door pieces. I used mirror silver paper for the front bumper and a different matte silver paper for the windows on the front truck piece. The longer truck piece is the back of the truck. Glue the rectangle piece-this will be the reinforcement piece for the top awning later.

Awning: This awning piece will be glued onto the truck front piece. A little trick to keep the 3 squares centered is to add the thin rectangle into each spot and then glue the back of each square only and insert it and then pick out the thin square piece. You can throw that piece away if you want.

Inserts: Glue up all your little potted flowers. As always, I cut extra little pieces because no matter what-I always lose some. You can also cut different colors to change things up if you want. Each insert piece is numbered so you know which one goes in front. FYI it’s the four potted flowers in front. You can see the numbers on the bottom right corner of each insert.

Glue the two end tabs of this piece and add the main front truck piece. Make sure your card folds flat.

Line up the awning piece and glue to the front truck piece and also add the brown panel at the back of the truck.

Here is the truck after those steps. All that is left is to add the flower pot inserts as you do with any box card, awning support and the sentiment.

Here you go! The inserts are added (at this point make sure your box card will fold flat). You can see I am getting ready to add the rectangle piece inside the awning for support. Glue the rectangle inside to the front and back top awning. All I have to do now is add my print and cut sentiment and it’s done! TIP: if you buy the bundle, print and cut all three sentiments at once and then you will be ready to assemble the other trucks!
