A2 Box Card Pumpkin Flowers Tutorial

September 5, 2024September 4, 2024

Fall is in the air, cooler crisp mornings and the days are getting shorter. It’s my very favorite time of the year to create, with all the wonderful Fall and Halloween collections. I have an easy little tutorial on one of Lori’s new box cards. They are my all time favorite and I just couldn’t resist this one. This is the A2 Pumpkin Flower Box that you can find here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.

I used Lori’s Echo Park Collection, I Love Fall! So cute and amazing little details for my card.

First get all your pieces cute and separated to be able assemble easily.

Next, I fold all of my score lines for the box components.

Then I ink all the edges!

Now you are all set to assemble and glue all your pieces.

Once everything is adhered you can add adhesive to the flaps of the box components

Start with the orange piece to form the box.

Next add the piece 2, the easiest way for me to know where to adhere it, is just to have the flaps touch the back of the box and then you know you will have perfect spacing. So I always start from the back and work my way forward.

Add piece one and have it touch to piece two for perfect placement.

Here it is before I embellished…so cute already but you know I can’t help myself!

And omgosh! Isn’t it the cutest!? Love it!

Thanks for joining us today!

Tuck Gift Card Box Tutorial

August 29, 2024August 28, 2024

Hello and welcome to Tutorial Thursday. I’m sharing today this great gift card box.

Tuck Gift Card Box

SVG/Silhouette

This box is fun to put together.

Here are the pieces: one box piece, 6 panel pieces, 1 gift card holder piece. For my box, I used patterned paper for all the panels. The file includes flowers if you want to use the flowers to embellish the top.

After cutting all the pieces, you adhere all the panels to the outside of the box.

Fold along all the crease lines, ensuring the longer skinny arms are inside the box.

Fold the gift card holder piece, so the tabs are going down.

Insert the gift card holder into the middle, and attach the side arms in the notches.

Finally tuck the top flap together.

Add a gift card, and your box is ready to share.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pillow Box with Curved Handle Tutorial

August 22, 2024August 21, 2024

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing a quick little treat idea for all the back to schoolers. I used the Pillow Box with Curved Handle (SVG, Silhouette) and the School Stickers (SVG, Silhouette).

Once I had everything uploaded to Cricut Design Space I resized the pillow box to 5.5×9.33. I wanted to be adle to fit two boxes on one sheet of 12×12 paper. I also flattened the sticker images and printed them out on plain white cardstock. For the tag I used one out of Cricut Design Space, but here is one from Lori’s site if you need one (SVG, Silhouette). I used papers from the School Rules collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

I cut four pillow boxes and two sets of the stickers. I also punched some tiny hearts. I layered up some of the stickers on the tags leaving room at the top for the recipient’s name. I used a liquid glue to attach everything because I didn’t use a sticker paper. For the box I pre folded the score lines as mountain folds. I then added glue to the inside of the box on just the handle.

After the glue was dry I folded in all of the side tabs.

I then used some bakers twine to attach the tags. I filled my boxes with a rice crispy treat and a little note for each kiddo.

This little pillow box is so versatile and great for any occasion all you need to do is change up the papers. Definitely worth having a few in the file library. Thanks for stopping by today and happy back to school!

4. the first layer is the bear.

5. I used some distress ink on de border of the bear.

6. this is how the first layer looks after you finish it.

Baby Girl Dress Card Tutorial

August 8, 2024August 7, 2024

Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this adorable Baby Girl Dress card (SVG, Silhouette).

I wanted to enlarge the card so I enlarged all my pieces at the same time by dragging the curser until the base of the dress card was large enough & fit inside the cutting perimeter. This will give me a card that will fit into a 6×6 envelope.

I wanted to have a strawberry theme so I took some elements from the Lori Whitlock Strawberry Basket with Strawberry file (SVG, Silhouette). To get a visual I dragged them onto my dress. I kept the strawberry & flower the original size then reduced the vine to fit.

I also reduced 1 more flower & cut it twice to create the buttons.

I like to make an insert for my cards. I find this also helps to keep my card a little sturdier considering there are more layers on the front. To do this I created an internal offset distance of 0.125 applying the sharp corner.
