Four Compartment Cookie Box Tutorial with Tya

Hi Everybody! It’s Tya Smith here with a tutorial on how to assemble the new Four Compartment Cookie Box that Lori recently came out with. I love her boxes and this box was just what I needed to take a yummy treat to my Mom for her birthday.Let me show you the steps it takes to put this box together.

Open up the file. It is found here on the Silhouette and here on the LW SVG Shop.

Now, it may look like a lot of pieces – but this really is quite easy to cut out and put together. The tan pieces are for the box base and lid and the aqua pieces are the pattern papers for the lid and sides of the box.

I went ahead and cut out all the box pieces out of kraft cardstock.

Then I started assembling the pieces. I took the 2 square pieces and layed them on top of one another. This is the box base.

Next take the 4 box pieces and fold on all the scored lines. Add adhesive as shown and glue the box together.

Add 2 of the boxes to one end. Then add the handle piece as shown.

Now add the other 2 box pieces.

Add the pattern papers to the 4 rectangle pieces. These will be glued all along the edges of the box.

Now put together the lid. Add the pattern paper to the top and edges.

Here’s the box all put together.

 I added some yummy cupcakes to the boxes, but you could add cookies, candy or other small gifts.

To finish off the box I cut out a tag from the 5 Hang Tags cut file. I added some pretty ribbons and some stickers and other embellishments from Lori’s Petticoats Line for Echo Park Paper. So pretty and feminine.

That’s all there is to it! Hopefully I have inspired you to create this box for your special someone! Have a great day!

Girly Dress Box Tutorial with Angi

Hello everyone! Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here with a fun tutorial for a little girl’s party. I love the versatility of Lori’s cut files. You can use them in a variety of ways. For example, I used her Wedding Favor Box and transformed it in another way.

 

I decided to make a party favor set. I used Lori’s designer paper and chipboard accents from Echo Park. It’s called “Petticoats and Pinstripes”. It’s so adorable to use for girly parties.

Here’s how to make one of your own: First, use your electric die cutter and pretty paper to cut out the shape.

 

Next, fold at the cut lines and use adhesive to put the box together.

Add pop dots to the back of the extra cut out of the dress.

 

Place that extra piece to the front of your box to give it a 3D effect.

 

 

 

Add little pearl accents to the bottom of the dress.

You can make a whole set of these for each girl at the party. The girls would love it.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my little party idea today.

3D Letter and Ornate Gatefold Card with Tya

Hi everyone – it’s Tya and I am so happy to share with you all a few of my favorite new cut files from Lori Whitlock. With Mother’s Day (and my Mom’s Birthday) around the corner – I thought I would get a jump start on my gift giving with this fun set.

These files were just what I was looking for. I used the Petticoats line that Lori designed for Echo Park. I love the floral, feminine feel to this line. And aren’t the colors lovely? Let me give you a closer look:

First up is this beautiful card. I used the 5×7 Ornate Gatefold Card (Silhouette) (LW SVG). I love how I was able to use one of the 4×6 cards found in the Petticoat papers for the perfect sentiment. I used some stickers from the collection as well as some jewels and washi tape to decorate the card.

 I have been so looking forward to using one of Lori’s new 3D Letters. They are so slick to put together!! Only 2 tabs on the top and bottom are all you need. I used the letter “L” (Silhouette) (LW SVG)  for my mom’s name – Leisa. She can place this on her desk at work. I also added one of Lori’s new 3D Flowers (Silhouette) (LW SVG)  to decorate it. She always does the most beautiful job on these flowers. So realistic looking!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope I have inspired you to pick up these fun new files and give these projects a try. Happy Crafting!
