3D Pocket Explosion Box Tutorial

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!

I used a fun cobblestone stencil from Hero Arts on the outside of each mailbox and added a few glittery berries to the all of the wreaths for an extra bit of bling.

Lantern Mini Album

Happy Monday friends!  Traci here, and I’m excited to be back on Lori’s blog with my latest mini album, using one of her amazing svg files!  For this one, I used the Box card Fall Lantern file.

 

I cut the cover shape out of acrylic, but you could easily use card stock.  The cutting file includes lots of cute pieces for the front of the lantern … the mushroom, pumpkin, flower, and even some fall pieces that I didn’t include at the top, so you get lots of options in this cutting file.

 


This cutting file was created as a box card, which you’ll have to check out because it’s a fun design for sending a sweet fall greeting.  But you know me … I’m a mini album girl so I always see album options when I see a cut file and this one did not disappoint!

 

How cute are the pumpkin and flower pieces at the bottom of this lantern?  And that mushroom?  Adorable!!

 

 

In addition to using the cut file for the cover shape, I also used it to cut 4 card stock pages for the inside of my album.  

Hmmm…this page is a little crooked Traci!  LOL!

 

 

 

 

I added 4×4 photo mats to each page and added adorable die cuts from the Doodlebug Farmer’s Market collection.  This is why I like minis … I get to incorporate ALL THE THINGS!

 

 

 

I hope my project inspires you to think outside the “box card”.  Not only do you get a wonderful card with Lori’s file, you also get the chance to turn the pieces into a mini album, or add the pieces to a scrapbook page!  Have fun crafting friends!!

Box Card Envelope Ghost

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
