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!

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.

Shadow Box Bee Card Tutorial

Hello friends! Traci here and today I have the cutest little card to share with you that’s perfect for summer. I made it using one of Lori’s awesome cutting files called Shadow Box Bee Card (SVG, Silhouette) and I’m so in love with all the pretty layers!

Shadowbox Bee Card made with a Lori Whitlock cutting file


I’ve had so much fun creating with Lori’s Bee Happy Collection that she designed for Echo Park. So, I chose the honeycomb print from it called Life is Sweet for the front and the solid green for the leaves and stems. The colors were perfect. 

Here’s a quick tutorial on how I put the card together …

Cut out all of the white pieces first so that you can see how
the colored pieces are going to be adhered.

Add your colored patterned paper to the white cardstock pieces before gluing the 2 card bases together. 

Then adhere one of the base tabs to the back of the other base as shown above. The other tab (on the right side in the photo above) will be what you use later to secure the front with.

Adhere all of the fun colored pieces to the 3 inside white scenes.

Then add the scenes inside the shadowbox base. Start with the blue flowers first, inserting the tabs into the slots on the sides.

Repeat this for the bee scene, then continue with the last one that has the red flowers.

Once they are securely in place, you can close the front of the card and adhere it to the tab on the left.

And voila!! You’ve got an un-bee-lievably cute card to send to someone special. When it’s open, it can stand alone on a shelf, desk, or counter for display.

But when it’s being sent through the mail or stored, it can be folded flat. I hope you have fun with this one! Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a great day!
