Father’s Day and the Box Card Cabin

Anita here with a fun Father’s Day card for the active/outdoorsy type of dad.  It is called Box Card Cabin (SVG, Silhouette).  I used some of Lori’s Echo Park Paper collections including Let’s Go Anywhere, Here Comes the Sun and Halloween Party.  There were more pieces to put on the front of the card but I decided to just use the one wood grain piece for the front of my house.

 

 
As always, the beauty of a box card is that it folds flat for mailing.  Be sure to check out all of Lori’s wonderful SVG’s for Father’s Day.

Hugs,

Box Card Cherry Carton Tutorial

Hi there friends! Have you seen all the new cherry themed projects in Loris’s store yet? So darling! Let’s make the new Box Card Cherry Carton (SVG, Silhouette-soon to be in the store!).

I used papers from the Down on the Farm Collection by Echo Park Paper Co. Once I had everything cut out, I inked the edge of the cherries, flower, and decorative panels. I then glued the all the panels and cherries in place. The first insert has four cherries, and the second insert has three. The two tabs on the ends of the box pieces are mountain folds and then glued together creating the box.

Now to add the inserts. The tabs are valley folds, and the glue is applied to the outside of the tab (the side that is going against the inside of the box card). I lined up the front of the tabs with the front of the inside of the box and the top of the tabs with the top of the box card.

Before the glue is dry, I fold the box card flat making sure it will fold flat all the way.

I use the same process for the second insert except I line the tabs up to the back of the first insert and the top of the box card.

Lastly, I glued the sentiment and the flower to the front of the card.

Now the card is ready to send! Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a cherry good day!

Hot Dog and Pop Shaped Cards

Hello friends! Marcia here today. I love shaped cards. They are fun and easy to assemble too. With picnic season upon us I thought these two shaped cards; the No 10 Hot Dog Birthday Card (SVG, Silhouette)  and the No 10 Pop Card  (SVG, Silhouette) were just what a birthday boy and my Dad needed. 

I used various Lori Whitlock solid papers from several different collections to create these cards. The print and cut feature of my Silhouette Cameo works great for printing the sentiments.
This Pop card originally had a birthday sentiment but I thought it would work just as great for Father’s Day. I just substituted my own font and text and then print and cut just as I did for the hot dog card sentiment.

These cut files can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of shaped cards. Check out the hamburger and french fries shaped cards. The hot dog card will fit in a 5×7 envelope and the Pop card will need a business envelope. Have fun creating!

Thanks so much for stopping by,
~Marcia

 

 

Explosion Dog House Box

HI everyone!  I’m sharing a fun, easy tutorial with you today with Lori’s Explosion Dog House Box.  There are a lot of pieces, but it really goes together quickly and easily.  I was done in no time at all.  I used Lori’s Echo Park Pets Collection for my project today.  Almost every pet is represented with this collection, soooooo cute and the colors are just too fun.  You can also find this file here in the Silhouette Design Store.

I always start by cutting everything out, it’s easy as Lori has everything colored and easy to ungroup.  After I get everything cut out, I organize my pieces and just start assembling them.  I used scor-tape, scotch atg adhesive, glue dots and a glue pen to adhere the box.

Below are all my pieces, cut and sorted.

 

 

 

First, start with the lid, adhere the panels and add scor- tape to the little tabs.  Fold on the score lines and assemble.

 

 

Next, score and add scor tape to the tabs for the inside dog house.

 

Adhere.
Now the same for your roof pieces.  I changed up some colors, as you will see.  These score lines and tabs are a bit smaller, so on this I used some mini glue dots and a glue pen.
Too cute!
Now onto the pockets for the inside of the box.  Just fold on the score lines and add scor-tape.  Adhere the pockets and add the inserts.
Next, I glued the four pockets to the base of the explosion box, for this I just used my Scotch atg gun.
Then assemble your little dog house and adhere the bottom the dog house to the box base with scor-tape.
Now you are ready for the fun part….just embellish and have fun.  This collection is so happy, I found all the perfect embellishments and little details to make my heart smile.
Here’s the box all folded up!
And the box exploding!
Perfect to hide some treats of trinkets in for a new puppy owner.
And it’s just too stinkin’ cute!  I adore this project!
Pretty sure I need a new bully dog just to go with my project…lol!
Thanks for joining us today.

Explosion Box Dinosaur

Hi friends! I’m dropping in today to share a cute card for a dinosaur lover.  This explosion box is fun and gives a little surprise when opened (SVG, Silhouette). I love box cards like this they can serve as a cute shelf sitter and a fun birthday gift. I made this card for a little boy but I also have a niece that loves dinosaurs and this card would be cute made with pinks, purples, and yellows. I used papers from the All Boy collection and Birthday Boy collection by Echo Park Paper.

 

That’s all from me today, thanks for being here.
