Shadow Box Card Golf Cart Tutorial

April 25, 2024April 18, 2024Leave a comment

Hello!

I wanted to show you how I put together this Shadow Box Card. I’m making this golf-themed card as a Thank You for my son-in-law. He’s celebrating the end of tax season (he’s a CPA) and can’t wait to hit the fairways! The addition of the sun on this card is my wishful thinking for warmer weather…it is unseasonably cold here.

Shadow Box Card Golf Cart (SVG, Silhouette)

This is a good-sized card and it folds down to fit in a 5 x7 envelope. There are many pieces but it assembles very quickly. FYI- You will need two 12 x 12 pieces of white cardstock for the main working panels of the card.

These are the two main frame pieces. The slots will be on either side of the card.

These are the insert panels for inside the frame.

This is all the smaller pieces. The blue piece is optional, but I used it as a sky. The sun is from the Summer Set file. You can also find it here.

This is what the panels should look like when the colored cardstock is glued on.

A view of the panels stacked to reveal your golfing scene!

To assemble the outer frame you are going to glue the front frame to the back frame after you fold the small end flaps in and add glue.

Make sure to flatten out each frame piece and align at the bottom when you glue the flaps. This will ensure a nice fit for the inserts.

Start by inserting the back panel in first, slightly bending the panel so that the top of the tab inserts into the side slit and then the bottom of the tab will follow easily.

Here you can see the tabs after they were inserted into the side slots. Now you have a fun 3D diorama type scene!

A little tip. I bought some quarter-inch blue tape and stuck my little pieces on them. I always lose tiny pieces so I cut extras and add them to a piece of tape to keep them from escaping!

I hope you will give this card a try-it was fun and easy to make. It would be perfect for any golfer in your life!

Box Card Rainbow with Unicorn Tutorial

April 18, 2024April 17, 2024Leave a comment

Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this cute Rainbow Unicorn Box Card with you!

For my card I chose the Box Card Rainbow (SVG, Silhouette). The Rainbow card is cute on its own, but I wanted to add a little touch of magic to my card, so I have also added the Unicorn from the Unicorn Card (SVG, Silhouette).

To start I opened both files on separate pages in Silhouette. I then copied & pasted my unicorn to the page with the Box Card Rainbow. From here I was able to resize the Unicorn to fit with my Rainbow as the original was a lot larger.

I wanted this to be a Birthday card, so I swapped out the sentiment by typing a new one using the Samantha Craft font then I print & cut.

To start I glued the little black piece to the back of Unicorn shape that has the holes cut for the eye & nostril. Then I added more glue & pasted this on top of the solid Unicorn shape.

After cutting all my pieces I glued the coloured panels onto my white corresponding pieces.

I then folded the tabs on my Rainbow shapes. The back & middle pieces I folded to the front. The small one at the front I folded to the back. Next I glued them all into place one at a time starting from the back, by first doing one side then gently folding the card flat as I go to make sure it placed evenly before I glued the tab on the other side.

Then I added some foam squares to the back of the Unicorn & front Rainbow/Cloud & Cloud pieces to get some dimension on the card.

Lastly I adhered the cloud pieces & my Unicorn onto the card & finished off with some Star & Heart enamel stickers to embellish.

The box card folds flat to fit into 5×7 envelope!

I love how this turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Airplane Slider Card

April 11, 2024April 11, 2024Leave a comment

Hey there everyone! Hope you are all having a great week. I wanted to share this fun airplane slider card (SVG, Silhouette) with you. Again with this great A Magical Voyage paper line. With my bonus son going to school to be a pilot, I had to use this line for some fun things for him.

I have all my cut pieces laid out, except the airplane. This is a print and cut file but the chipboard plane that comes with the Magical Voyage line was too perfect.

Scored everything that needed to be scored.

Then I worked on the slider portion. It cuts in 2 pieces, you glue the 2 together for stability. Fold the tabs over on the end and pop them through the slits on your base.
