New Product Feature: Explosion Boxes

Hi Everyone!  Have you seen the new Explosion Box Bundle in the shop this week? These fun little boxes are for those occasions when just a card won’t do and they are on SALE 25% OFF this week!  There are 4 new boxes, take a peek…

Here are some more photos of the Explosion Box Baby Crib Girl… so cute!

 

 

These boxes are easy to assemble, they are very similar to my standard box cards.    I’ve put together some graphics below showing how to put the pieces together.

If you need more help with adding the inserts, my Box Card Video will help, the inserts are done in the same manner.  Once all of the pieces are assembled,  fold the sides of the box up and add the cover.  When the recipient opens the box, the sides will “explode” out for a fun surprise! The baby explosion boxes are made with my Sweet Baby Girl and Sweet Baby Boy paper collections. The unicorn explosion box is made with my Perfect Princess paper collection. You can find the files for the Explosion Box Bundle in the shop. Watch for more Explosion boxes in the near future. If you have any theme requests, please feel free to leave a comment on this blog post : )

Have a great day!

Birthday Wishes with Kathy

Hi Everyone! I’ve got quite a few summer birthdays that always seem to “pop up” quickly and without warning, so I’ve decided to start building up my stock of birthday cards so I will be prepared!   I just love Lori’s Pop Up Cards, they’re so simple but make a big impact. I used her Three Tier Birthday Cake Pop Up Card (SVG File, Silhouette) file for this card…

The other great thing about this card is it can be made for a woman or a man, simply by changing up the color scheme!  Now if I can only remember to mail my card, I’ll be in great shape!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

K-Cup Carrier Assembly Tutorial with Kathy

Hi Everyone! It’s Kathy today with an assembly tutorial for Lori’s new K-Cup Carriers.  It’s that time of year again when you need lots of little thank you gifts for teachers, baby sitters, coaches, dance teachers… the list almost seems endless!  Lori’s new K-Cup Carriers make a cute little gift that’s easy to make!  There are two new versions,  The K-Cup Carrier 2 Cups (SVG, Silhouette)  and the K-Cup Carrier 4 Cups (SVG, Silhouette).   I worked with the 2 cup version for the tutorial, but the 4 cup version is assembled in exactly the same manner.

When you upload the file to your cutting software, you will see that there is a note to cut two of each piece in the file.  The pieces I used to assemble can be seen below.  I used papers from Lori’s new Back To School Collection for Echo Park Paper.

First you need to glue together the two carrier pieces.  Start by folding along the score lines.  Fold up the handle portion of the piece and glue in place, smaller tabs on the inside.  Next bring up the other side, and glue, also with the tabs inside.

Fold down the remaining piece (the one with the hole) tucking the tab into the box.    Glue the big flaps down to the sides of the box.   Once the two sides are assembled, add the decorative pieces to the “fronts” and handles.

To complete the assembly, glue the two completed holder pieces back to back (or handle to handle).   Glue the remaining decorative panels to the remaining side pieces, then adhere to both sides of the carrier to cover the seams.  Your holder is complete!

I packaged my K-Cups along with a  little print and cut tag I made using the following files:  LW Block Font (SVG, Silhouette); LW Perfect Type Font (SVG, Silhouette); Pop Up Box Card Coffee (for the mug) (SVG, Silhouette); Sun (SVG, Silhouette); Thank You Teacher Tags (for the paper) (SVG, Silhouette)

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
