Memorydex Box and Cards

Hi Everyone!  I’m excited to bring you some brand new files that are in Lori’s SVG shop and coming to the Silhouette Store!  Memorydex scrapbooking is making a comeback!  They are perfect for documenting weekly favorite photos, December daily, recipes,  events… whatever!  I decided to use this Memorydex box for my weekly photos.  My goal is to do a card a week in 2020 documenting my favorite picture of that week.  Take a peek…

I started with the new Memorydex Box and Cards file (SVG, Silhouette). (see tutorial below)  I decorated the base box and then created cards for my first two weeks of 2020.

For week one, I used one of the new Memorydex Foldover Cards (SVG, Silhouette)  I love how you can decorate the front of the card, and add extra photos on the inside!  It’s great for when you can’t pick just one photo to document!

For week 2 I used one of the new Memorydex Scalloped Cards (SVG, Silhouette)

I made a set of all the new cards that coordinate with the Memorydex Box, so that it’s easier for me to keep up with documenting my year!

I put together a quick tutorial showing how to assemble to box.  To start, you’ll need 2 pieces of 12×12 paper, a 12×12 sheet of chipboard (I used Silhouette’s chipboard, it’s the perfect thickness) and 2 straws or wooden dowels that are at least 8.25″ long and .25″ in width.  Cut the two boxes from the paper and the remaining pieces from the chipboard.

  1.  Assemble the larger box (the one with no holes) by folding along the score lines and gluing tabs on the inside of the box.
  2. Before assembling the inner box (with the holes) glue the chipboard pieces to the bottom center of the outside of the box and to the sides with the holes, making sure to align the holes.
  3. Fold up the sides and glue this box with the tabs on the outside.
  4. Add the chipboard pieces to the long sides of the box.
  5. Glue the remaining chipboard pieces to the inside short sides of the larger box, making sure they are flush with the bottom of the box.
  6. If using straws, cut them down to be just over 8″.  I cut mine to be about 8.125″.  If using wooden dowels, cut them to be 8.125″.  Insert the straws (or dowels) into the inner box with holes so they form the sliders.  They should barely stick out of the ends of the box.  You may need to trim.  If you want you can add a little glue to the outside of the holes to secure.
  7. Insert the smaller box with the straws into the larger box.  If your straws are sticking out too much, you may need to trim.  It’s a snug fit, a little patience helps.
  8. I added some glue between the layers of the 2 boxes and clipped until dry.

All that’s left is to decorate your box and start documenting!  Hopefully, I can keep up with my weekly memories!

Halloween 5X7 Pocket Flourish Cards

Hi friends and welcome!  September is my favorite time of year to craft! The kids are back in school and I’m not yet busy with all the frenzy of the holidays.  How about you?  Today I want to share these super versatile 5X7 Pocket Flourish Cards (SVG, Silhouette) which can be embellished in so many ways.

Lori offers these in her shop as a set of three designs, and Silhouette offers each design separately.  I can say from experience…you’re definitely  going to want to get all three! I thought it would be fun to cut these out in black card stock for Halloween and keep the embellishments simple to let the intricate flourish detail shine.

The Witch hat can be found here (SVG, Silhouette). Side note: I reduced the hat down to approx. 2 1/2 x 2 3/8 to fit the rosette and rolled the tip of the hat to give it more dimension. Isn’t it cute!!

Here are two I made for a friend with a summer theme. I used a corner rounder on the top of the pocket and card to change things up.

I AM IN LOVE with these 5×7 Pocket Flourish Cards! I’d love for you to give it a try!
