3D Pocket Explosion Box Tutorial

Happy almost Halloween, everyone!  Yes, my very favorite time of the year to create. Today I’m sharing a fun tutorial for one of Lori’s adorable designs — the Pocket Explosion Box (SVG, Silhouette)  I love how quickly and easily this project comes together.

EEEEK!  It’s so cute!
First, start with cutting all your pieces.  Here is the outside of the box and the lid.
This is the inside layer of the box, the little purple pocket like folders.
And the lid.

After cutting all your pieces, start assembling.  I started with the little file folders, just fold on the score lines and just use your regular adhesive to put them together.
There are 4 total of these little cuties.
This is the inside of the first layer, the black star print is on the other side. Adhere a folder to each side.
So it looks like this!
Next, create the inside layer of your box.  You just fold over and adhere, it makes the cutest little library type pockets.  Just add adhesive to the bottom square on the opposite side and adhere to your first layer.
Now you just get to have fun and go to town with all the little embellishments.
Just open and this little box just explodes with fun!  Adorable!
Thank you for joining us today!

Lantern Mini Album

Happy Monday friends!  Traci here, and I’m excited to be back on Lori’s blog with my latest mini album, using one of her amazing svg files!  For this one, I used the Box card Fall Lantern file.

 

I cut the cover shape out of acrylic, but you could easily use card stock.  The cutting file includes lots of cute pieces for the front of the lantern … the mushroom, pumpkin, flower, and even some fall pieces that I didn’t include at the top, so you get lots of options in this cutting file.

 


This cutting file was created as a box card, which you’ll have to check out because it’s a fun design for sending a sweet fall greeting.  But you know me … I’m a mini album girl so I always see album options when I see a cut file and this one did not disappoint!

 

How cute are the pumpkin and flower pieces at the bottom of this lantern?  And that mushroom?  Adorable!!

 

 

In addition to using the cut file for the cover shape, I also used it to cut 4 card stock pages for the inside of my album.  

Hmmm…this page is a little crooked Traci!  LOL!

 

 

 

 

I added 4×4 photo mats to each page and added adorable die cuts from the Doodlebug Farmer’s Market collection.  This is why I like minis … I get to incorporate ALL THE THINGS!

 

 

 

I hope my project inspires you to think outside the “box card”.  Not only do you get a wonderful card with Lori’s file, you also get the chance to turn the pieces into a mini album, or add the pieces to a scrapbook page!  Have fun crafting friends!!

Mrs Santa Slip Lid Box

Hello Crafty Friends, Noelene here today. I know most of you are preparing for Halloween but in my house it’s never too early to start preparing for Christmas. Today I want to share with you one of the newest files I am using from Lori Whitlock called Mrs Santa Slip Lid Box (SVG).
I started out by cutting all my pieces then glued on the corresponding panels to the top & bottom box sections like pictured. I folded the score lines first as this helped me to correctly align when I glued down. I left the glasses till last as I found this was easier to glue in place once box was made.
Next I started to put together the lid of the box glueing the flaps of the hat to the head, starting with the front then working from sides & finishing off at the back.
Now glue the hair panel on the back of the lid.
Then glue down the white strips of hat trim along the top.
The next step is to assemble the base of the box. Start by glueing down the side flap.
Then finish off by folding down the inside large rectangle base followed by glueing the 2 small side bases on it & then glue the outer rectangle flap over the top of the small side 2.
Lastly I glued on my glasses which I cut with gold metallic cardstock & embellished with a holly cutout onto the hat & 2 gold sprinkles for buttons.

Thanks for stopping by!

Box Card Bottles Father’s Day with a Twist

Hello everyone! Today I’m showing you a Father’s Day card I turned into a birthday day card. I used this file, SVG or Silhouette.

I edited the text box to accommodate what I needed the card for, a birthday.

I used some dot cardstock from Bazzill and some metallic cardstock on the bottle caps.

I love these little box cards. They’re always so easy to assemble and the recipients always love them.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
