Window Box Card Tutorial

Hi Everyone!  We are happy to be back on the blog after being down for a few days!  We appreciate your patience.

Today I have a tutorial showing how to assemble the new Box Card Window Files.  I made the new Box Card Fall Window Bird (SVG, Silhouette) using papers from Echo Park Paper’s Harvest Market Collection.  This is such a sweet card which could be used to welcome in fall or even wish someone a Happy Birthday just by changing out the sentiment.

To start I cut out the pieces of the card.  I layered the window pieces and glued, print and cut the sentiment, and added the layers to the inserts.  If you ever need help with specific piece placement in Lori’s cards… here is a great hint…  you can reload the file into your cutting software.  Lori groups the pieces together as they go in the final project so it’s easy to see how things are layered and pieced together.


Next I added the window to the inside back of the card base. (the outside of my card is maroon, the inside or b-side of the paper is navy)

The next steps cover adding the inserts.  I started with the bird insert since it goes furthest back.  I glued the insert tab to the side of the base, aligning the top of the insert base with the top score line on the side.

Next I added the flower insert.  I glued the tab to the side of the base, just beyond the tab of the first insert.  Leave a little space between the insert tabs so that the card will fold flat.  You want to make sure that the inserts are aligned together and to the bottom of the window.

Add adhesive to the remaining insert tabs, and to the tab on the base of the card.

Fold the base over, pressing down to make sure the edge of the base is secure and that the inserts are adhered to the inside of the card base.

Looking down inside the box part of the card, you can see that the inserts are perfectly aligned.  As a last step I added the sentiment to the front of the card base.  This card folds flat for mailing and fits into an A2 Envelope.  If you need one, Lori has a great set here.

Birthday Box Cards with Cathy

I have been busy this month making birthday cards for co workers and my go-to is always a box card from Lori….you simply can’t beat the WOW factor with these cards.  Everybody loves them and they make a nice keepsake to brighten up their desk too.  Also, a little secret…don’t let everyone know you make handmade cards….cause then everyone expects one…lol!  Just kidding!

I love how this one turned out….Crate Flower Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) I left the flower off the front and added Happy Birthday Banner.  I also added lots of little details with pearls and the enamel dots.  So cute!

My next card is the Cupcake Box Card 2 (SVG, Silhouette).  I have made this card several times, it’s one of my favorites, you can’t go wrong with this darling design,

And last, I have another box card that is perfect for almost any celebration … the  Coconut Drink Box Card (SVG, Silhouette).

 

Make sure to check out all of the amazing box card designs in Lori’s Shop.  Also, for help assembling Lori’s shaped box cards, see this post.  I just love making these!  They fold flat for mailing too!  They become addictive and your coworkers get addicted too!
