Pumpkin Barrel Box Card

Happy September! Today I am sharing the Box Card Pumpkin Barrel (SVG, Silhouette). This box card is so warm and sweet. I love this time of year and this pumpkin box card fits perfectly. The barrel is a cute twist on the standard box shape. I also added a few stickers from the I Love Fall paper collection by Echo Park Paper. This card is also part of the A2 Box Card Autumn Bundle that you can find here.
Thanks for being here and happy Labor Day!

Box Card Teacup Fall Raccoon Tutorial

Hello friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Box Card Teacup Fall Raccoon (SVG, Silhouette). This box card works well for any fall occasion, but I will be using it as a birthday card.

I used the Firefly collection by Echo Park Paper to cut most of my pieces; I also used some cardstock from my stash. Before I started the assembly, I inked the edges of my pieces. The raccoon is the only insert in this box card, and he comes together pretty easily. I glued the eyes and nose to the face piece, and the inside of the ears were glued to the body piece of the raccoon. The tail is separate from the body and will be glued to the back of the insert.
The flowers are all a single layer, except for the middle of the sunflower. There are three circles for the middle of the sunflower, but I lost one and didn’t recut the missing circle.

For the teacup I cut an extra cup piece without the handle to give my cup a two-toned look. I folded the score lines of the box portion of the card as mountain folds and the racoon tabs as valley folds. The raccoon insert tabs are glued to the shortest sides of the box. I lined up the tabs of the insert with the score lines and the top of the inside of the box. With one side secure I added glue to the back of the second tab of the insert then folded the box over making sure everything was lined up. Once the tab was secure, I flipped the card over and added glue to the box tab and folded the back of the box over making sure everything was lined up before the glue set.

I then added glue to the front of the box and lined the bottom edge of the cup with a handle to the bottom edge of the box making sure the corners line up. With my extra decorative cup piece, I glued the raccoon hands and flowers into place and glued it to the front of my card. Then I glued the back piece of the cup to the back of the box. Lastly, I glued the racoon tail to the back of the racoon insert making sure the card would fold flat. I also used a white acrylic pen to give my raccoon some highlights.

I love how this card turned out. It is perfect for a fall birthday. Thanks for stopping by today!

Shaped Summer Cards

 Hi everyone!  I have a couple of quick cards to share with you today…they are a couple of older files from Lori, but I knew they would be perfect for her new collection from Echo Park.

Have A Great Summer

I used the 6×6 pad, sticker book, enamel dots, washi tape, and stick-on brads for these two cards.  I have always been a huge fan of Lori’s shaped cards, and I adore how these two turned out.  I know they will brighten someone’s day this week.

You’re A Good Egg

 

 

You’re a good egg!!!  

 

This fun new cardstock release from Lori Whitlock is so fun. Having been a “chicken mom” for several years, I fell in love with it right away!

 

For my card today I used Lori’s 6×6 Chickens paper pad and also the coordinating ephemera package

and Lori’s Shaped Card Chick Egg cut file. (SVG, Silhouette) 

 

I resized the chick file so that it would fit inside the frame that came with the ephemera package. I then cut it out with my Silhouette. All other papers came either with the 6×6 pad or from the packaged goodies. I added the chick to my card with an action wobbler so the cute little chick could ruffle it’s feathers! I must say that the paper with the carton of eggs is my fave! I  used it for the background of this card.

I know you will love these chickens too!

Big Box Card Basket Strawberries

Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today & I want to share with you a tutorial for the berry sweet Big Box Card Basket Strawberries (SVG, Silhouette), from Lori Whitlock!
As most of you know, Strawberry projects are my favourite, so I couldn’t wait to make this card.
First step was to cut out all my pieces.
Next step is to layer & glue all your pieces, making sure to match correctly all the strawberry leaves to the green background panel before you glue. You will need to fold down the basket flaps then adhere the scalloped panels on the folded side down. The file comes with 2 flowers but as you will see, I cut some extra flowers to use as embellishments. I also inked the centres of my white flowers with some distress oxide before I glued down the circle centres or added the enamel dots. There are also some extra strawberries in the file, you can cut these if you wish for the strawberries to be seen from the back as well as the front. Note: make sure you flip the large strawberries horizontally if you wish to add these to the back of the card, remember you are doing the reverse side.
Now it’s time to put your box card together & assemble the basket. Start by folding down all the scored lines. Now glue the tabs on the inside of the box. I find the best way to do this is by folding the box flat to get the tabs nice & straight along the edge.
Next is to adhere the inside panels inside the box. These are numbered 1, 2 & 3. I started out by glueing number 2 first in the centre as I found this helped me space them evenly. Flatten your project as the glue dries each time to make sure the tabs adhere.
To finish off I adhered the strawberry onto the front using pop dots and embellished with some of the extra flowers. I also tied a bow onto the basket handle.
Hope you like my Big Box Card Basket Strawberries! This file can also be found in the Big Box Card Basket Bundle (SVG), which includes Big Box Card Basket Big Box Card Basket Flowers (SVG), Big Box Card Crafty (SVG), Big Box Card Basket Lemonade (SVG) & Big Box Card Basket Sunflowers, (SVG)
