Halloween – Lori Whitlock

3D Pocket Explosion Box Tutorial

October 30, 2025October 30, 2025

Happy almost Halloween, everyone! Yes, my very favorite time of the year to create. Today I’m sharing a fun tutorial for one of Lori’s adorable designs — the Pocket Explosion Box (SVG, Silhouette) I love how quickly and easily this project comes together.

EEEEK! It’s so cute!

First, start with cutting all your pieces. Here is the outside of the box and the lid.

This is the inside layer of the box, the little purple pocket like folders.

And the lid.

After cutting all your pieces, start assembling. I started with the little file folders, just fold on the score lines and just use your regular adhesive to put them together.

There are 4 total of these little cuties.

This is the inside of the first layer, the black star print is on the other side. Adhere a folder to each side.

So it looks like this!

Next, create the inside layer of your box. You just fold over and adhere, it makes the cutest little library type pockets. Just add adhesive to the bottom square on the opposite side and adhere to your first layer.

Now you just get to have fun and go to town with all the little embellishments.

Just open and this little box just explodes with fun! Adorable!

Thank you for joining us today!

A2 Shadow Box Card Jack O Lantern

🎃 Halloween Shadow Box Card – Jack O’ Lantern 🎃

Hi everyone!
Today I’m excited to share a fun Halloween project with you — a Shadow Box Card designed by Lori Whitlock, called “A2 Shadow Box Card Jack O’ Lantern.”

I decided to give this spooky little project my own twist by changing up the colors from Lori’s original version — and it’s amazing how a few color changes can create such a different look! 🧡🖤💜

For the layer behind the pumpkin’s eyes, I used vellum so the light can shine through beautifully when you place a little LED light or fairy lights behind it. It gives the card a cozy (and slightly spooky!) glow that’s perfect for Halloween nights.

If you’d like to make this project yourself, the file is sold as a single file and as a cute spooky bundle:

I’d love to know — which colors would you use?
Be sure to share your version on social media so we can see your Halloween creation!

Box Card Envelope Ghost

September 29, 2025October 7, 2025

October is creeping closer… and you know what that means Halloween is just around the corner!!

I’m in love with all the spooky decorations, so of course Halloween cards simply cannot be missed.

Luckily, the shop is filled with Halloween files, including “Box Card Envelope Ghost” which I’m thrilled to share with you today!

For this project, I played with design paper from Doodlebug Designs and topped it off with my absolute favorite: glitter cardstock.

Because let’s face it, Halloween stars deserve a little extra sparkle in the dark.

I added some foam tape under the pumpkin and the bat, for extra dimension.

And of course, the card can be folded flat for mailing!

Do you make your own Halloween cards?

Don’t keep them hidden in the shadows, be sure to share them online!

I love getting inspired by your creations.

The file I used is included in this amazing bundle

Happy Crafting,

New Halloween Favor Boxes

Favor Box Halloween Bundle

When I saw these boxes, I knew I had to make them all! They are a very simple box construction, but I know sometimes the placement of the pieces can be tricky. Below you can find placement for three of them that have the most pieces. The trick is to remember you have a top and a bottom and keep your pieces facing the correct way. If you use striped paper make sure to rotate the panel piece when cutting so all the stripes go the same way. (ask me how I know LOL)

Note: These cuties are coming soon to the Silhouette Store

This is the glue up for Frankenstein

This is the glue up for the jack-o-lantern

This is the glue up for the witch (you can add more stripes if you choose)

***

I liked how Lori had two little stem pieces for the pumpkin stem so I did the same thing for the witch’s hat. I cut two hats and glued them together. Stick the tabs through the top slot and fold away from each other. I think the hat stands up nicely.

I made this little template for gluing on the little rosy cheeks. The two little circles come grouped where they would land on the face of the box. I took one of the basic panel and cut the circle cheeks out using Lori’s spacing. Then I could just center the panel on the face and add dots of glue where the holes were. Works well if you are making lots of boxes and you like everything to line up.
