Beehive Box

Hello Crafty Friends, did you catch the new Bee-autful Beehive project bundle (SVG) from Lori Whitlock released last week?
Today I am sharing one of those projects called Beehive Box (SVGSilhouette).

The bees on it are so adorable. I have used mine today to make a little bee themed spa gift box. It has many other uses too! Change it up with some honey cough drops, honey & lemon herbal tea & some tissues to have a get well gift for someone feeling a little under the weather.
Don’t forget to check out the other 2 Beehive projects Beehive with branch box card (SVGSilhouette), &  the A2 Beehive Easel Birthday card (SVGSilhouette).

4×6 Horizontal Tabbed Mini Album Tutorial

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a fun vacation mini album I made with Lori’s cutting file called 4×6 Horizontal Pocket Mini Album Tabbed Pages (SVG, Silhouette). It’s filled with pretty shaped pocket pages and tabbed cards that are perfect for saving your favorite memories. I added pictures of our trip to Hawaii and it made the cutest little keepsake! 🌴🦩🌞

 

I decorated the album with the Doodlebug Design, Fun in the Sun Collection, but … this file could be made with ANY theme for photos of a holiday, family, friends,
new baby, school, your pet, or 
a season. It’s 4×6 inches and has a flap that folds over onto the front cover to keep the pages secure.  

 

Above, you can see there are 6 pocket pages with a tabbed card / photo mat tucked inside each one. Let’s take a quick look inside, then I’ll share the tutorial …

 


The front of the pockets have a cute cut-out shape and plenty of space for embellishments. And inside, the tabbed card can hold 2 photos (front and back) or be used for journaling.

 

The back side of the pocket pages are blank so I added more photo mats and cute tropical embellies!

 

This mini is so fun! I love the interactive pages in this album. To see more photos and all of the pages in this project, visit my blog here.

Now, for the tutorial …

1.  I cut out all of the pieces, including 6 pages, the covers, 6 tabbed photos mats, pattern paper for the pockets and a binding piece.    

 

2.  I adhered the patterns to the front of each pocket, and the covers,  before gluing everything together.  

3. To create the pockets, I fold the right and left tabs inward and glued them against the back, leaving the tab on the left free. 
4. To assemble the front cover, I adhered the remaining tab on the first pocket just to the left of the score line on the cover piece.  This score line will eventually be the album’s binding.   
5. Next I continued to adhered each of the pocket’s tabs to the back of the page in front of it.


6. The pockets created a stack of pages to the left of the spine.  At this point, I also adhered the back cover piece to the tab on the front cover.  


7.  To adhere the last pocket to the back cover, I used the binding piece that comes in the cut file to adhere them together.

 

Once I finished assembling the album, I decorated it and added my photos. 

I hope enjoyed this project made with Lori’s 4×6 Horizontal Pocket Mini Album Tabbed Pages File (SVG, Silhouette). It’s not only great for your own photos, but … it also makes a wonderful gift idea. Happy scrapping! 😊

An Oldie but a Goodie- The Side Step Card!

I was paging through my library of Lori’s files on my Silhouette, pages and pages, mind you.  And I came across this side step card and I remembered how I used to love to create these as you can enhance with all the embellishments for Lori’s collections.  So, I just had to give it a try again with Lori’s Echo Park Firefly Collection.

The Step Card Side file is here in Lori’s Shop  or in the Silhouette store.  I used the Firefly card stock for the base and papers from the 6×6 pad for the accent papers, a bit of the washi tape, several pieces of the chipboard, stickers, a tag and enamel dots.  You can simply create a scene with these little step card bases and all the embellishments.  Tons of fun to just start layering and see what you come up with.  I adore this collection and how this card turned out.

 

Thanks for joining us today!

5 x 7 Flower Truck Box Card Tutorial

Welcome to the  Lori Whitlock Blog!

Today I have  a tutorial for you on assembling this cute 5 x 7 Flower Truck box card.

 

5 x 7 Box Card Flower Truck

Silhouette

or see  all three here:

5 x 7 Box Card Truck Bundle

Let’s start.

Truck Body: Glue on the tires and the front door pieces. I used mirror silver paper for the front bumper and a different matte silver paper for the windows on the front truck piece.  The longer truck piece is the back of the truck. Glue the rectangle piece-this will be the reinforcement piece for the top awning later. 

 

Awning: This awning piece will be glued onto the truck front piece. A little trick to keep the 3 squares centered is to add the thin rectangle into each spot and then glue the back of each square only and insert it and then pick out the thin square piece. You can throw that piece away if you want. 

 

Inserts: Glue up all your little potted flowers. As always, I  cut extra little pieces because no matter what-I always lose some. You can also cut different colors to change things up if you want. Each insert piece is numbered so you know which one goes  in front. FYI it’s the four potted flowers in front. You can see the numbers on the bottom right corner of each insert.
Glue the two end tabs of this piece and add the main front truck piece. Make sure your card folds flat.
Line up the awning piece and glue to the front truck piece and also add the brown panel at the back of the truck.
Here is the truck after those steps. All that is left is to add the flower pot inserts  as you do with any box card, awning support and the sentiment. 

Here you go! The inserts are added (at this point make sure your box card will fold flat). You can see I am getting ready to add the rectangle piece inside the awning   for  support. Glue the rectangle inside to the front and back top awning. All I have to do now is add my print and cut sentiment and it’s done! TIP: if you buy the bundle, print and cut all three sentiments at once and then you will be ready to assemble the other trucks!

 

These are so fun to make-give them a try!
