Box Card Barn Flowers

1 Comment

Hi friends, I hope you’re having a great week! Can you believe this month is almost over?! Leslie here, sharing a tutorial for making a Fall themed barn box card. If you love box cards as much as I do, be sure to check out Lori’s shop because she has some really awesome ones. I used the Box Card Barn Flowers SVG cut file (Silhouette)(from the A2 Box Card Autumn Bundle) along with papers from the Pattern Fill Set Autumn Joy for the flowers. So let’s make a box card!

Cut The Pieces

Using your choice of cardstock and patterned paper, cut all the pieces. I used a variety of cardstock in my stash for most of the pieces along with designer papers from Lori’s Pattern Fill Set Autumn Joy for some of the flowers.

Build Front, Back and Inside Panels

Using your choice of adhesive, build all the panels. I prefer wet glue for the ‘wiggle room’ factor. These are the front and back panels:

First insert:

Second (middle) insert:

Third (last) insert:

Assemble The Card

Mountain fold the score lines and adhere the tab on the right side of the front panel to the inside of the back panel.

Starting with the third (last) insert, bend the right-hand tab backwards and adhere it to the inside of the card base just to the right of the score line where you adhered the tab in the last step.

Now come in with the second (middle) insert and glue it just to the right of the third insert. So sorry but I forgot to take a photo of the first insert glued in place (ughhhh), but glue it just to the right of the second insert. They’ll be numbered 3 – 2 – 1 from left to right. The back panel is still on the left and the front panel is still on the right.

Straighten the back panel and fold all three inserts over toward the left. Be sure the bottom edges line up and apply glue to all three left-hand tabs.

Now fold the side portion of the back panel over toward the left, catching the left-hand tabs on the inserts with the glue on them. Next, apply glue to the tab on the side portion and fold the front panel over toward the right to secure.

The card will now look like this.

Now push the folds toward the left to help ‘train’ them to fold in either direction.

This is an overhead view of the assembled card with all three inserts.

And here’s a finished frontal view. I used the draw function on my Cricut to create a fun sentiment which I popped up on foam squares.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing this awesome Fall themed barn box card and you’ve been inspired to make one. They are so much fun!

Scrappy hugs,
Leslie

Witch Boot Treat Box

One of my favorite Halloween traditions is making a small treat for my teammates. This year, I created the Witch Boot Treat Box (SVG) and filled it with a popular Halloween candy. Its simple design makes it ideal for adding some playful witchy decorations.

This file includes four box sides, one box bottom, two boot covers, and four boot lace covers. For the box sides and bottom, all tabs are folded in a mountain fold. The box sides are attached side by side, alternating wide and narrow sides, until all four sides are connected. Attach the bottom of the box to its narrow end, then secure the wide side tab to the corresponding wide box side. Once the first tab is secured, move on to the next, gluing the remaining tabs to the bottom of the box.

With the bottom of the box in place, add glue to the final side and close it up. To secure the long tab, use the handle of a paper tool to press from inside the box against the tab.
The straight edge of the boot lace cover lines up with the straight edge at the front of the boot. The boot cover is then attached to one wide side of the box, with the box opening positioned at the top. Follow the same steps for the other side of the boot.
The treat box is now prepped for some witchy charm. I punched holes and threaded ribbon through the front of the boot, added quirky black stars, and topped it off with a trick-or-treat tag (SVG, Silhouette).
This adorable treat box is all set to be filled and shared with my team. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments. Thanks for joining us today!

5X7 3D Fall Bouquet

Happy Monday everyone!  We are FINALLY getting some fall weather here in South Dakota. I’m so excited for that. These 90 degree days were getting old.

Today, I created this cute fall bouquet and mini card found in Lori’s shop or the Silhouette store (SVG, Silhouette).

I used Doodlebug Farmhouse collection and coordinating patterned paper. I just adore these colors and patterns. I popped all the top pumpkin pieces with enamel hearts.

I finished off the projects with some epoxy hearts and bakers twine.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

Pumpkin Favor Box 2

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay (Lindsay’s Layouts), sharing a project for the Lori Whitlock Creative Team. I’m hosting a baby shower for a dear friend, and I needed some favor boxes for the attendees to take home with them. I chose the Pumpkin Favor Box 2 (svg, silhouette) and used the “Special Delivery Baby Girl” collection, designed by Lori for Echo Park. The colors in the collection are perfect for a fall baby shower! I also used some kraft and dusty rose cardstock for the bases. Let me walk you through my process:

First, I uploaded the project into Design Space. I cut enough pieces to make 12 boxes. The first photos show a single set of cut pieces. I numbered the flaps in the order that I would fold them into the box. Then I added strong tape to the flaps as shown below.

I wanted more of an open gift bag feel for the favors, so I decided to fold two of the flaps into the box and adhere. This keeps them out of the way. I inked all of my pieces with brown ink and then began assembly. I used foam adhesive to pop up the center of the pumpkin.

I folded all of the panels and adhered the favor box base. Then I wrapped the rose cardstock belt piece around the base. All that’s left is the pumpkin, some cute ribbon and the surprises that will be tucked inside!

The next time you are hosting a party or shower, I hope you’ll consider these quick, adorable favor boxes. They can be customized for any occasion. It was also very easy to make bulk quantities. Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Crafting! — Lindsay

Fall Acorn Box Card

Hey, crafty friends! Ready to say goodbye to summer? The little signs of Fall popping up in stores have me excited for cooler days, pumpkins, and seasonal crafting. For today’s tutorial, I worked with the Acorn box card (SVG, Silhouette).

This box card features two insets, two acorn covers, and a flower cluster on the front. I began by adding ink to most of the elements to give them dimension. The large flowers have two main layers plus a center, while the smaller flowers have one layer and a center. For several flowers, I swapped the paper centers for enamel dots or brads. The suggested placement for the small flowers works well, but if I could, I’d move the small orange flower out and up along the green stem. Once assembled, the acorn stem covers it.

The main body of the box card is a simple box with two acorn covers and two small, patterned paper covers. Each acorn has three layers: one for the body and two for the cap. The score lines are folded into mountain folds, with the acorns attached to the long sides of the box and the patterned papers on the short sides. For the inserts, I folded the score lines as valley folds. I flipped the card base over, added glue to the back of the tab on the purple flower insert, and lined it up with the top of the box and the score line. I repeated the process for the second insert, aligning it with the top of the box and the back of the first insert. Then I flipped the inserts back over, glued the back side of the tabs, and closed the card base over them, making sure everything was aligned. Finally, I glued the box tab and closed the card, carefully lining up all the edges.

With the acorn box, I attached the orange flower cluster to the front of the box. I also added a “Hello” sticker and a small acorn sticker from my stash of supplies.

That’s all for me today, thanks for stopping by!
