A2 Tiered Box Card Tutorial

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a tutorial on the new A2 Tiered Box Cards. I made the A2 Tiered Bird Mountain (SVG, Silhouette). This snowy mountain card will make a perfect birthday card for my dad who loves the outdoors.

I cut the box card body out of white cardstock but wanted a blue snowy backdrop for the mountains. So I used some distress oxide inks on the tallest middle panels. I then made all of the folds on the score lines (see picture for fold diagram). Then I assembled the inserts. All of the inserts will have a valley fold on the tabs. I also applied the decorative panels to the outside of the box. Once I was ready to glue the inserts in I applied the glue to the outside of the tab(red side for me). Then lined up the front of the tab to the vertical score line and the diagonal score line of the box.

For the second the third insert I lined the tab up to the tab in front and the diagonal score line of the box. I then folded the tabs all in and applied glue to the backs of the inserts and the tab to close up the box (see picture below on how I applied the glue to avoid gluing the box tab to the inserts).

Now that the box is assembled I added the background mountain and the snowflakes.  The green plaid paper is from the My favorite Christmas collection by Echo park Paper Co.

Christmas Penguin Gift Set

Happy Holidays!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share the Christmas Penguin gift set I made using three of Lori’s files: Gift Card Box Penguin (SVG, Silhouette), Christmas Tag Penguin 2 (SVG, Silhouette), and Christmas Card Penguin (SVG, Silhouette).  Lori debut these adorable penguins along with several other cards, tags, and gift boxes a couple of weeks ago, and I knew I had to use them for my holiday gift giving!

I used accents and patterned papers from Lori’s A Lumberjack Christmas collection from Echo Park Paper, Co to make the card and gift card box.  For the card, I used a double-sided patterned paper, which made it a little difficult to write a message inside the card.  I knew I needed a solid colored insert, so I cut an extra card base from white cardstock to serve as the inside layer of the card.  I added a Merry Christmas sticker to the front of the card as well.

For the gift card box, I used a mix of patterned papers along with a chipboard accent.  I was sure how to assemble the top pop-up to the box, but Lori’s tutorial provided all the instruction I needed to finish putting my box together.  I really like that this file contains a gift box as well to hold the entire project when it’s complete. Simply add a ribbon and you’re ready with a gift that’s SUPER CUTE!!

Finally, I created the adorable penguin tag and added a Merry Christmas sticker to the front.  I paired the tag with a buffalo plaid gift bag to complete my gift set.  I think my recipient is going to love the personalized touch!

Well, that’s it for me today!  I’m off to enjoy Christmas Eve with my family. Happy Holidays:)

Until next time,

Michelle

I used a transparency sheet for the clear panels, you could also leave them open. I also used Lori’s Little Lumberjack Christmas paper collection from Echo Park Paper. You can add fake snow before adhering the panel part to the base of the box for a fun effect!  The size of this box is just under 4 inches cubed.
