Mother’s Day Explosion Box Teacup Tutorial

 

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a tutorial for Lori’s Explosion Box Teacup for Mother’s Day.  You can find this file here in Lori’s SVG shop and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used Lori’s new Echo Park collection called All Girl.  This card makes such a stunning statement and Lori has several other explosion box designs as well.

I made extra flowers and used two to put on top of my box.

Here is a photo of the box when it has exploded open.  It’s just so pretty.

Here are the pieces that I cut out.  I ended up cutting out extra flowers and cut two more extra square panels, one I put under the tea cup and one in the box lid.

I put the inside of the box together and the cover as well.  I would recommend that if you are planning to put gift cards in the pockets that you put the card in and then put the pocket where you need it to be so that it will close nicely.  I popped  up the hearts and the messages for Mom.

These are the pieces for the saucer for the teacup.

These are the pieces for the teacup itself.

These are the handle pieces for the teacup.

Starting at the top left I took photos of the process of putting together the teacup.  There is a tab on one end of the cup piece and you glue just up to the tab.  I used wet glue for the best hold.  I then took the smaller perforated circle and glued it inside the bottom of the teacup.  Next, I glued on the handle to the teacup.  Bending both tabs and using wet glue again for the best hold.  Similarly there is a tab on one end of the saucer which you need to glue together.  Then I attached the larger perforated circle to the bottom of the saucer.   Once everything was good and dry I glued the teacup to the center of the saucer.

I then set about to rolling my flowers.  I just love doing this and had fun.  There are so many different ways to roll the flowers.  I have photos where I started rolling one flower with a skewer to get it going in a round shape and another one where I used a flower roller which I bought a long time ago.  My fellow Creative Team member, Corri Garza has a tutorial and how she rolls her flowers that is on Lori’s Blog and can be found here.  I used leftover Easter grass to fill my cup so that the flowers would stay in. You could also add a small styrofoam ball in the bottom and attach the flowers to it.   Thank you so much for looking and have a great day. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers out there and very special wishes to a certain mom to be.

Hugs,

Anita

A Little Bit Of Spring

Hi everyone!  Cathy here with you today and Spring has finally arrived in Michigan.  Some times we have sunny days and some days in just rains and rains, but I am in the mood for Spring planting and lots of pretty flowers.  I made Lori’s A2 Watering Can Card.  You can find it here at the Silhouette Design Store.  It’s just so cute, perfect to brighten someone’s day or to send for Mother’s Day, as that is right around the corner.

I love that Lori’s files are color coded, it makes everything come together faster.  I added a bit of stitching with my Silhouette pen to the watering can, then just assembled.  I used Lori’s new All Girl collection for the watering can and added a few extra little stickers from that collection as well.  It’s just a darling card that will bring a smile to all!

Thank you for joining us today!
