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

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!

3. This are the 3 white layers inside of the card that we need to complete with a bear and balloons.

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.

7. Layer 2 finished

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.

I then cut out all of my pieces & glued all my panels into place.

This card was so easy & fast to put together! Even with the extra strawberry elements.

I hope you liked my card today.

Hello! It’s my turn again for a tutorial on the Lori Whitlock blog.

I am getting into the school spirit! I can’t believe school is right around the corner!

Box Card School Bus 2

(Lori’s Shop SVG, Silhouette Store #417577)

Insert pieces with the print and cut sentiment.

Insert pieces assembled. You will glue the yellow side tabs into the assembled box card, aligning the top of the tabs to the top of the box. My favorite piece was the notebook with the spiral binding. I think it has the “bestest” details! I found it easier to leave the little silver pieces stuck on the mat and assemble them to the notebook right off the cutting mat. No lost little pieces!

I did cut three of the other pieces out of white cardstock and colored them with copics while they were still stuck on the mat. (pencil tip, eraser and the leaf).

The Box Pieces

Add glue to the tab on the right of the long yellow piece to form the box body. Align and glue the sides of the bus to each side of the box base.

Everything is ready to glue together. Glue the tires on the very last.

Having two daughters that are school teachers, I decided to make them each a school themed card for the new school year that begins soon. This is the first one!
