A2 Card Envelope Box Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I have an A2 card storage box tutorial to share with you today.  This A2 Card Envelope Box (SVG, Silhouette) cut file can be found in Lori’s store along with many other varieties of boxes. I used some pretty pattern papers from Lori’s new Day In The Life collection as well as coordinating cardstock from my stash.

 


Let me show you how easy this box is to put together.

1. Choose your papers and cut out two box bottom pieces and two box top pieces. The cut file contains only one of each so be sure to cut everything twice. Adhere the panels to the cardstock base. Using cardstock for the base pieces will ensure a sturdy box.

 

2.  Working with the bottom of the box first, adhere the two sides of the box together.

 

3.  Turn the box upside-down and adhere the tabs to the box bottom. Then fold the last flap over the bottom and glue it down.

 

 

4.  Now let’s work on the box top. Adhere the front to the back by gluing the rectangular piece with pattern paper over the same size rectangular piece with no pattern paper.  Fold the sides in making sure the side with pattern paper is on the outside, tucking the tabs in. Adhere the sides and then the tabs.

5.  Place the last rectangular pattern paper piece on the inside of the lid.

6.  There are stamp cut file pieces that you can use to adorn your box making it look like a stamped envelope. I also placed a journal card on the front so I can use that space when gifting my box full of cards to someone. Or if it is just too pretty to give away, to write what kind of cards I have stored inside.

These boxes would be great for storing your Valentines too.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out Lori’s Store for more amazing cut files.

Heart Shaped Box

I love making things for Valentine’s Day–cards, boxes, and more.  Lori has so many great Valentine’s projects. I’m sharing today the Heart shaped box (SVG, Silhouette).  This is a generous size box at 6 inches wide and 2 inches tall.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoy making some Valentine’s boxes or cards this week.

Altering the Size of the Candy Box File

Hello Everyone:
Anita here with a quick tutorial on taking one of Lori’s Candy Box SVGs and resizing them to fit the candy bar size that I need.  I used Candy Box 6 Candies (SVG, Silhouette).  I used Lori’s two Echo Park Paper collections including Our Little Princess and All About a Girl.
I wanted to make my own chocolate bars for Valentine’s Day given that there are food allergies in our family and wanted a pretty box to put them in.  I picked this box as it seemed like it would fit the candy bar mold that I have.  This file comes in two parts, Part 2 is for the box and part 1 is for the scalloped inserts.  I used Part 2.  When I imported my file into Silhouette Studio I used the grid lines on my mat on the screen to determine the size of the unaltered file.  I knew what size I needed to fit my candy bar and with the file still grouped together I dragged the corner until the dimensions were what I needed them to be.  Be sure that you don’t ungroup them before doing the resizing.  As you can see from the photo above I did a pretty good job of getting my box to fit my candy bar.

These are the cut file pieces for my box.  I opted to use the decorate overlay around the inner edge but you wouldn’t have to if you were short on time.  I often put an acrylic sheet over the opening when making boxes but decided that the chocolate bar looked better with the hole open.

These are the box pieces assembled and ready for my chocolate bar. That’s it for me.  Be sure to check out all of Lori’s Valentine’s Day files.

Hugs,

Anita

NEW Spring/Easter Sliceform Pop Up Cards!

This week I designed two new bundles of sliceform cards. This is such an awesome card style that everyone is loving. When you open the card, a gorgeous 3D scene pops up. I developed this mechanism with a lot of trial and error and I’m really happy with how it turned out.

I made an assembly tutorial that you can find over on my YouTube channel (and embedded below in this blog post). We have 2 bundles of SVGs for the new slice form cards: A2 Sliceform Pop Up Card Spring Bundle and A2 Sliceform Pop Up Card Easter  Bundle. Check some of them out below…

Don’t forget that these new Sliceform Pop Up Cards are 25% OFF until Monday at noon Mountain Time. Go grab them at a discount while you can.
