Mason Jar Pop Up Box Card

Happy Spring almost Summer Everyone!  I have a quick little card tutorial to share with you today using Lori’s new Echo Park Collection Firefly.  I simply adore everything about this collection, the patterns, the amazing details, the colors….it is all swoon worthy, you have to get it.  It is just so perfect for summer.  The card is one of her pop up box cards, that fold flat for mailing and then pop up and give a fabulous 3 d effect for your recipient.  You can find this card here in Lori’s Shop or here in The Silhouette Online Design Store.  I just love mason jars and this is just so cute.

First, cut and organize all your pieces.
I always ink all my edges, except the white.
Put your card base together, here I used papers from the 6×6 Firefly paper pad and card stock.  Your score lines will be a peak and a valley.
As you can see here, it fold to a 5×5 card base.
Next, make this piece.  Here I added some beautiful washi tape from the Firefly collection.  Love it!  Again you will have a peak and a valley for score lines.
You are only going to add adhesive on the two ends, and you can see where I wrote here and here.  Make sure no adhesive goes in the middle, otherwise your card won’t pop up.  My adhesive fits the first little panel and then from the second score line to the right.
Once you add this piece, you can see how the little pop up box is formed to add your remaining dimensional pieces.
Now just finish up the layers for these two pieces and add adhesive to the sides.  Add them in order, as Lori numbers them for you…1 & 2.
Press them firmly to the sides to create the pop up effect!
And there you have it!  The cutest little card popping with joy!  I love using all the fun embellishments form her collections to really create my own take on each of her cards.

 

Thank you for joining us today!

Box Card Flower Trunk Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Box Card Flower Trunk (SVG, Silhouette).  I used papers from the Day and Life collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also cut a few extra flowers to add to my card to give it a fuller look.

The body of the box card is in two parts that will be glued together. The tabs are all folded in a valley fold. First, I inked the edges of all of my pieces then glued the decorative panels to the outside of my trunk. I then assembled the flowers. All of the flowers have two layers. I then glued the flowers to the two inserts. Three of the flowers are on the front insert and two flowers on the back insert.

For the trunk I added glue to both tabs and made sure to line up the holes on both pieces so that the brads would be fit. I then glued the decorative corner pieces to the trunk and added the brads to all of the holes. Enamel dots would also be cute on the holes if you can’t find brads. After I had all the brads in place I glued the back decorative panel into the trunk.

Next, I folded the tabs on the inserts in a valley fold and added glue to the back of the tabs. Securing one tab at a time I lined up the edge of the tab with the top of the trunk and held it in place while the glue set. I was also careful to not glue the tab over the back of the brad. I repeat the process for the other side of the insert. With both tabs glued I fold the card flat to check that it will fold flat then repeat the process for the second insert.

With both inserts secure I glued the last flower and stem to the front of the trunk.  I then embellished my trunk with the additional flowers and two butterflies I fussy cut from the collection.

This card is so pretty and has several sentiments for the back of the card that are included in the file.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Suitcase Mini Album Tutorial

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a cute travel mini album that I made using Lori’s NEW cutting file titled Hidden Binding Mini Album Suitcase. (Silhouette) The fun shape is so versatile and can be made with any paper collection for your vacation needs. Since summer is ahead, I created it with a sunny beach theme.🌞

Lori has designed a bunch of these hidden binding shaped albums and I love them! I’ve made the rectangle, apple, house, flower, telephone, and tag shape. Today’s mini is about travel, so the suitcase shape is perfect!

For this “fun in the sun” project, I used the Doodlebug Design Seaside Summer Collection. But it would also be great for winter skiing, a visit to the lake, a cabin in the mountains, a road trip, a cruise, or any vacation.

Let’s take a quick look inside, then I’ll explain how I made it.

 

Suitcase Shaped Travel Scrapbook Mini Album Pages with cute summer and beach images

I decorated each page with 6×6 inch papers, fun die cuts, cute stickers, and a few enamel dots.

Isn’t this cute? Such a colorful little scrapbook. For larger photos and details of each page, visit my blog here.

Now, for the tutorial …

 

Suitcase Shaped Summer Travel Scrapbook Mini Album Tutorial

1. First, I cut out the pieces. Since all of the suitcase shape pages are sandwiched using 2 pieces, I needed 10 total … 2 for the front cover, 2 for the back cover, and 6 for the 3 scrapbook pages inside.

2.  Note that the center piece is scored for the binding. The score
lines are a bit hard to see on the brown image 😊.  I folded along each
of the score lines to create “mountains” and “valleys”.

3. Then, I added adhesive inside the “valleys” and stuck the sides together.

4.  Once the binding piece is adhered, it should look like this ^.

5.  And the back side (the spine) will look like this ^.

6. Next, the cutting file comes
with pieces for the pattern paper that goes on top of the white spine, front and back covers, and suitcase shaped pages. I chose the blue waves print and adhered it to one side only of the exterior pieces.

7.  Once that was done, I adhered the front cover to the front of the first
spine fold. Then, the back cover to the back of the last spine fold. When it’s opened up flat, the
album covers and spine should look like this ^ on the outside.

… and like this ^ on the inside.

8. Next, I adhered pattern paper to ONE SIDE ONLY of the 8 remaining
suitcase shapes. Since these will be stuck back to back to another suitcase page, only one
side will show.

9.  Now it’s time to assemble the album.  I adhered one suitcase page to the inside of the front and back covers. Then, I added one to the front and back of each spine fold … sandwiching them on the
“mountain” and creating 3 double-sided pages (6 individual pages). Including the inside covers, this gives you 8 scrapbook pages in total.

Onesie Mini Album

Hi everyone! Back in February 2024, I got a call about a very special little girl coming home from Thailand. She was born at just 26 weeks, and now—over a year later—she’s finally home in South Dakota for the first time. She needed some help to make the trip, and with lots of effort and phone calls, we made it happen.

Now, that little miracle is home, doing well, and she just turned one at the end of March! I had the joy of meeting her, and she completely stole my heart. I made this mini album just for her.

You can find the file here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store. I used Lori’s Echo Park Birthday Girl Collection. I had so much fun creating this for this little princess. She truly is a miracle, and I hope her parents know how much she has touched my heart and how much I loved being a part of her journey home.

Happy Birthday!
