Valentine Explosion Box Tutorial

Hi everyone!  Corri today with a quick assembly tutorial for the center box in the Valentine Explosion Box (SVG, Silhouette).

The box of the explosion box is pretty straight forward.

Start by adding the covering panels to the inside and outside of the box.
Fold the pockets into shape and glue to the inside of the box bottom.  Same for the little envelopes.
The cover is one piece, add the panels and fold into shape and glue.

The trickiest part is assembling the little heart box that glues to the middle.  Here are the pieces that form the center heart-shaped box.

Fold along the perforations and glue the two narrow strips together end to end.   Follow the same steps and glue the wide strips end to end.

After the glue has dried, apply glue to the tab at the end of each strip and from a loop.  The wide loop is for the box bottom and the narrow loop is the box lid.

Next, form the heart shape, apply glue to the inside tabs.  Insert one and glue one of the die cut hearts on the interior of the lid and box.    I find it easier to start in the “dip” of the heart.   The second heart shape is then glued on top to cover the tabs.  It also helps to allow some time for the glue to dry as you move around the curves. Note, the two hearts for the lid are slightly larger than the hearts for the bottom.

Finally, glue the heart box into the center of the explosion box.

This little box is perfect for Valentine’s Day.  You can write little notes in the pockets and add a treat to the center box! I used paper from the Our Wedding Collection from Echo Park.  I love the soft pink mixed with the woodgrain.   And don’t forget, all SVGs, Fonts, Pattern Fills and Commercial Licenses are 30% off through Saturday when you use code FEB2021 at checkout!

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a quick assembly tutorial for Lori’s Record Card (SVG, Silhouette).   When you get everything cut out this is what you will have.

First, form the box shape and card base by folding along the score lines.  Next glue the box shape to the card base as shown below.

Next, apply glue on the glue tab and glue to the top portion of the card base.

This is what it looks like after you have formed the card base.

Finally, glue all the die cut in place.   Here is what the completed outside of the card will look like.

Ghost Gift Set with Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a cute gift set for Halloween.  I made the Ghost Center  Step Card (Silhouette, SVG).  You can find a tutorial for this card here.

I used paper from the Echo Park – I Love Halloween Collection that Lori designed.  The card comes with a print and cut sentiment but I used one from the Frames and Tags that match the collection.

I also made this cute coordinating Handle Box (Silhouette, SVG).

I plan to fill this little box with some goodies and mail it off along with the card as a treat for one of my college kids.  They love getting surprises.
