Bone-A-Fide Birthday Bash Box

Leave a comment

 I have a fun little project to share with you today, Birthday Explosion Box to celebrate my Cash’s Birthday.  I’ll get photos printed this week and add them to the tags in the box.  Lori has a brand new Party Animal Collection from Echo Park.  This is such a sweet line for Birthday’s of our precious pups.  Perfect colors and the cutest embellishments.

You can find the file here in Lori’s Shop and here in The Silhouette Design Store.  It is a really easy project to put together and it has WOW results.

 

 

Here is the Birthday Boy! He turned 5 just a few days ago.

 

We celebrated with a walk and a hamburger!

 

 

So I’ll walk you through a quick tutorial.  First, start by cutting out all your pieces and ink all the edges.
Next, fold your box shape and the score lines.
Easy peasy, put the lid of the box together.
Fold and glue your library pockets. There are four!
Add eyelets if you wish to your tags.
Then simply adhere the pockets with the tags to the inside of your box.

 

 

Now for the cake.  I used liquid glue to adhere these.  This little cake is a box, so you could add little trinkets or a little gift for the recipient. I’m not sure what I will put in there for Cash.
Make both the top and bottom pieces the same way.  Fold all the little tabs inward and adhere the ends together, as shown in step two.  There are two circles for each box, on the brown piece, one fits in the inside and the other on the bottom.  This makes a nice clean finish for the bottom of the cake.
Do exactly the same with the lid.  Lori’s file has a sweet little candle but I love to use embellishments from the line on my projects, so I picked a couple of candle stickers and placed them back to back.
Now adhere the box in the center of the box or you could just add it and your recipient can take it out.
That’s it, now fold up your box and put the lid on.
Of course, this is where the fun really begins.  You get to embellish and make it your own!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love this so much!

 

And this sweet little tag…sit, stay and CELEBRATE!

 

Thanks for joining us today and I hope you check all of Lori’s Explosion Boxes!

Box Card Bottles Father’s Day with a Twist

Hello everyone! Today I’m showing you a Father’s Day card I turned into a birthday day card. I used this file, SVG or Silhouette.

I edited the text box to accommodate what I needed the card for, a birthday.

I used some dot cardstock from Bazzill and some metallic cardstock on the bottle caps.

I love these little box cards. They’re always so easy to assemble and the recipients always love them.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Number Lace for a Birthday Page Tutorial

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I have a fun 12×12 scrapbook page and simple tutorial to share with you. I wanted to create a layout for a picture of my sweet grandson’s 4th birthday and I found one of Lori’s cutting files that would be perfect for it.

I chose her Number Lace Cutting File (SVG, Silhouette). Not only did it have a number 4 on it, but I also loved the positive and negative spaces it created in the background.

 

Lori Whitlock Number lace Cutting File

Here’s how I made this layout … 

1. I added the cutting file to my mat and resized it to 10.75 x 10.75”.  I cut it out of white card stock and set that aside. 

2. Next, I used the knife tool to chop down the background into smaller pieces so that I could focus in on the number 4.  I didn’t want to cut the entire background piece again just to get the 4. 

 

3. Once I isolated the 4 in the file, I deleted everything else and cut this section out of orange paper.

 

4. Then I used my scissors to trim the rest of the paper from around the number.

5. Now that I had the white background and the orange number cut out, it was time to create my layout!

I used the Echo Park, Vroom Collection that was also designed by Lori. I decorated my Race Car Mini Album with it and the colors and patterns were just what I was looking for.

I started with the orange 12×12 pattern called Ready Set Go Stripes as my base and layered the blue Winner Winner print and Ready Racers paper on top. Then, I added the white number lace sheet and I backed each corner with a yellow triangle cut from a solid in the Vroom Collection.

Next, I adhered the orange 4 on top of the white 4 that’s part of the background. I cut some photo mats out of a few other papers from the Vroom Collection and I added my photo.

Then, I finished the layout with lots of fun embellishments. The “Let’s Go” is from the Vroom 12×12 sticker sheet. And the other birthday themed stickers and die cuts are from the Bella Blvd, Birthday Bash Collection. 

I hope this project inspires you to create something wonderful with Lori’s Number Lace Cutting File (SVG, Silhouette). Until next time, happy scrapping! 😊

Onesie Mini Album

Hi everyone! Back in February 2024, I got a call about a very special little girl coming home from Thailand. She was born at just 26 weeks, and now—over a year later—she’s finally home in South Dakota for the first time. She needed some help to make the trip, and with lots of effort and phone calls, we made it happen.

Now, that little miracle is home, doing well, and she just turned one at the end of March! I had the joy of meeting her, and she completely stole my heart. I made this mini album just for her.

You can find the file here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store. I used Lori’s Echo Park Birthday Girl Collection. I had so much fun creating this for this little princess. She truly is a miracle, and I hope her parents know how much she has touched my heart and how much I loved being a part of her journey home.

Happy Birthday!
