Pop Up Drawer Birthday Cat

Hello everyone, Marcia here today. I love giving gift cards for all occasions and am always looking for a unique way to present them. For my cat-loving friends, you would love the Birthday Cat Pop-up Drawer Gift Box (SVG, Silhouette). I used pattern papers from the Lori Whitlock Life Is Beautiful collection. It looks like a normal box when closed.

When you pull the drawer open, the panel with the cat pops up. Inside the drawer, there is a gift card holder. You could place other things in the box instead if you wish like candy or other treats.

This cut file can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of pop-up drawer gift boxes. Have fun creating!

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Explosion Box Dinosaur Tutorial

Oh my Gosh everyone!  Lori has designed the cutest new collection for Echo Park and I just couldn’t wait to play.  Dino-Mite is just that, dynamite.  The cutest dinosaurs, colors and patterns.  I had so much fun putting my project together and digging through the collection to find all the perfect pieces for my explosion box.  You can find the Dinosaur Explosion Box here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.

First, cut all of your pieces. Sort your pieces to make assembly easy.  I started with the lid of the box.

Fold your lid on the score lines to start to create the shape, adhere your patterned paper pieces and then add scor-tape to the tabs.

Adhere your tabs and you’ve now got the lid for your box.

Next, we will create the bottom of the explosion box. On one side you will add the 3 panels for the bottom the box and scor tape on the 5 tabs.  The extra piece you see here is the very bottom of the box, which goes on last.

Flip the bottom of your explosion box over and add the remaining pieces as shown.

Now fold and adhere into a box and add your bottom square.
You should now have this as your base.
Next up is adding the 3 inserts inside the box.  Lori makes the easy for us by numbering them.  Disclosure:  One of my favorite things to do when creating with Lori’s amazing collections is use the darling stickers and elements from the paper packs as part of the card.  I replace some pieces with the stickers.  I just dust the stickers with baby powder.
The original file is darling, I just couldn’t resist these stickers.
Fold on the score line and add scor tape
Insert your pieces next.
Now for the fun part………….EMBELLISH!  This does not fold flat for mailing. So it might have to be hand delivered.
The bow is easy peasy, is just loops together.  You don’t need my assistance here.
Adorable!
Thank you for stopping by today!

Box Card Fishing Boat

Do your summer plans involve going to the lake and fishing or boating?  Our family spent an afternoon paddle boarding on a mountain lake. We had a great time enjoying the outdoors and sunshine.

Do you have a favorite angler?  I’m sharing a fishing boat box card today on the blog. Find it in the SVG shop and Silhouette store.

This is a fun 3d card that you can display during fishing season.

Thanks for stopping by!
