3D Flower Bouquet Assembly Tutorial

April 23, 2026June 3, 2026

Hi there crafty friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the new 3D Flower Bouquet (SVG, Silhouette). Lori has several options and all of them are so fun and versatile. I have made three already! For this project I used papers from the Our Happy Place paper collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

For this bouquet, I wanted to give the flowers a bit more dimension, so I cut an extra layer for each of the smaller blooms. After cutting everything out, I folded all the score lines into mountain folds. I inked the centers of the flowers as well as the edges of the vase and bow. The internal mechanism is glued end to end to form a circle, with the smaller section glued in on itself to create a sturdy easel leg.

Before gluing the internal mechanism to the back of the vase, fold it into an X shape with the easel leg in the center. Apply glue only to the rectangular part of the mechanism and center it on the inside back of the vase. The vase is held together by four small tabs. Add glue to the tabs and the front rectangle of the mechanism, then align the front of the vase with the back, ensuring all edges match up and the tabs are tucked inside.

The file includes centers for all the blossoms, with each leaf composed of two layers. The front layer holds two blossoms, while the back layer contains three.

Apply glue to the square portion on the back side of the back layer, then slide it into the X mechanism. For the front layer, glue only the square section on the front, then slide it into the X mechanism. The bouquet envelope comes in two pieces. The front piece has three tabs folded into valley folds, with glue applied to the back of each tab. Align this piece with the bottom and sides of the back to create a pocket.

The small card has all the elements layered together on the front. For a little extra embellishment, I fussy cut some butterflies, tucked them into the bouquet, and added a flat-backed brad to the bow.

I’m so happy with how this bouquet turned out and can’t wait to give it away. Next on my list is creating a strawberry bouquet.

Thanks for stopping by today.

A Groovy Little Mini Camera Tutorial

April 16, 2026April 16, 2026

Hi, fellow crafters!

There is something magical about creating a mini album that feels like summer in your hands, and this one does exactly that with Lori’s new Echo Park collection, Our Groovy Summer collection.

The bright pink floral camera box with the cheerful shaker lens filled with tiny colorful embellishments, this little album is bursting with happy vibes. A little Summer title sets the tone and a playful beaded charm and ribbons add that handmade touch. It’s a project that makes me instantly smile.

Start with your camera mini album (SVG, Silhouette). Cut the box out and then cut your six pages for the inside. Now for these, I took out the two holes on the side. Just ungroup and pull those little holes out. I knew I wanted the album to just be bound with a book ring…so that is why I took them out. I just took them out of one, then duplicated it so I had six pages. You can see this is the photos below.

Here is your box and pages.

Fold your box on the score lines.

Next, add adhesive and put your box together.

Next, cut the lens out. I turned this into a shaker lens. I cut 8 of the rings and one circle for the back. You want to stack and glue 7 of the rings together, so that you have some depth for your shaker bits and glue to the solid circle. And on the last ring add a piece of transparency behind it, then fill your shaker (which I forgot to take a photo of) and glue the transparency-topped ring over your shaker.

The adhere your lens to the front on the box and finish embellishing it with some of the fun pieces from the collection.

Then punch a hole in the upper left corner of your six pages with a hole punch so that you can bind them with a book ring after all your pages are embellished. Tie a few ribbon pieces and maybe add a cute little charm.

Then just start creating and making this mini your own. You can see my pages below.

It’s a pretty quick little project and a super groovy collection to create a little mini that feels like bottled sunshine. I had so much fun bringing it to life.

Box Card Hedgehog Tulips Tutorial

April 9, 2026April 10, 2026

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay, and I’m here today sharing my first ever tutorial for the Lori Whitlock design team. I am so excited to share my projects with you. I use my electronic cutting machines (yes, plural!) on a daily basis. For today’s project, I have created the most adorable card using the Box Card Hedgehog Tulips file (svg, silhouette). I used the You Are My Sunshine collection from Echo Park and some additional cardstock.

After cutting all of the pieces, I started assembling the card in sections. First up is the hedgehog. I used brown ink to distress the edges of each piece. I used liquid adhesive to add the black oval behind the face of the hedgehog, then adhered the face layer onto the cream layer. After that, I assembled the small flower and added the arms to the hedgehog. I then used foam adhesive to attach the body of the hedgehog to the dark brown layer. Finally, the entire animal is adhered to the green base layer. I folded along the scored tabs and added strong tape to either side.

The next section is the tulips. Using liquid adhesive, I added the grass/leaves layer first. Next, I assembled each flower and adhered to the green base piece. I folded along the scored tabs and added strong tape to either side. It helps to have the sample image pulled up on Lori’s website. That way you can zoom in and piece the flowers together easily.

The final section is the box portion of the card. It is two large pieces that will come together to form the box. I added floral patterned paper as a cute accent. I assembled all of the flowers and adhered them with foam adhesive just under the grass border. I added a sentiment sticker that says “Sending Sunshine.” Then I folded along the score lines and added strong tape to each tab.

Now it’s time to put it all together. I connected the two box pieces, peeling just one tab, to create one long strip. I did not adhere the final tab just yet. Once I had the box shape in place, I added the tulip layer. I peeled off the tape on only one side and lined up the tabs so that they touched the back of the box card. Next, I peeled the tape off one side of the hedgehog layer and adhered the tab directly in front of the tulips section. I peeled off the other side of the tulip and hedgehog sections and attached them to the side of the box. Finally, I closed the outer box card. I’ve added an image that shows what the bottom of the card looks like. You can see how the sections stack on top of each other like tables.

The end result is an adorable card that will fold flat into an envelope! You could easily tuck a gift card behind the hedgehog and use this for a birthday card.

I hope this inspires you to create today. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Spring!
