A2 Card Envelope Box Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I have an A2 card storage box tutorial to share with you today.  This A2 Card Envelope Box (SVG, Silhouette) cut file can be found in Lori’s store along with many other varieties of boxes. I used some pretty pattern papers from Lori’s new Day In The Life collection as well as coordinating cardstock from my stash.

 


Let me show you how easy this box is to put together.

1. Choose your papers and cut out two box bottom pieces and two box top pieces. The cut file contains only one of each so be sure to cut everything twice. Adhere the panels to the cardstock base. Using cardstock for the base pieces will ensure a sturdy box.

 

2.  Working with the bottom of the box first, adhere the two sides of the box together.

 

3.  Turn the box upside-down and adhere the tabs to the box bottom. Then fold the last flap over the bottom and glue it down.

 

 

4.  Now let’s work on the box top. Adhere the front to the back by gluing the rectangular piece with pattern paper over the same size rectangular piece with no pattern paper.  Fold the sides in making sure the side with pattern paper is on the outside, tucking the tabs in. Adhere the sides and then the tabs.

5.  Place the last rectangular pattern paper piece on the inside of the lid.

6.  There are stamp cut file pieces that you can use to adorn your box making it look like a stamped envelope. I also placed a journal card on the front so I can use that space when gifting my box full of cards to someone. Or if it is just too pretty to give away, to write what kind of cards I have stored inside.

These boxes would be great for storing your Valentines too.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out Lori’s Store for more amazing cut files.

Adorable 4×6 Vertical Mini Album with Pockets and Tags

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the Lori Whitlock blog to share a mini-album I made using the Farmer’s Market collection that Lori designed for Echo Park Paper Co. I used the 4×6 Vertical Mini Album with Pockets & Tags (SVG, Silhouette) to make the mini-album. The album was easy to put together and can be decorated with your favorite stickers and embellishments to make the project pop.

 
 
The project includes four pockets and tags as well as four rectangular pieces that can be used to frame your photos on the back of each pocket. You can easily include a picture on the front and back of each tag. I added an extra piece of cardstock to my tags for more color along with a few embellishments.
 

Until next time,

Michelle, aka the Bookish Designer

 

 
 

 

Grid Pop Up Card Tutorial

Hi Everyone!  I’m back with another fun 5×7 Grid Pop Up Card today!  In addition to the seasonal versions of this card type, Lori has a fun 5×7 Grid Pop Up Birthday Bundle.  I have a few January birthdays coming up so I decided to make the 5×7 Grid Pop Up Card Birthday Balloons version (SVG, Silhouette).  I pieced it together with papers from Lori’s Pets Collection for Echo Park Paper.  Take a peek…

I put together a quick tutorial showing just how easy these cards are to assemble.
Start by cutting the pieces of your card.  You will have three plain bases (bottom) and three decorated inserts.  Next, add the different elements to the inserts.  I cut and added the stars, balloons, and banner to the front-facing pieces (the clouds are part of my patterned paper).  I also print and cut the sentiment piece using the print and cut feature of my Silhouette.  This piece goes on the back of the largest insert.

 

Next, you want to start assembling your “grid”.  Start with the three plain bases.  The two smaller bases go on the outer sides with the larger one in the middle.  Slide the front star insert into the front-most slits in each of the base pieces as shown.  The bottoms should be flush.  You may need to wiggle them a little to get them there.
Next, add the second insert with the balloons.  You want to slide it into the second set of slits in the base pieces.

 

 

Lastly, repeat the process with the largest background insert.  Slide it into the last row of slits until the bottoms are all flush.
Once assembled this card folds flat to fit into a standard A7 (5.25″ x 7.25″) envelope.

 

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