Girly Dress Box Tutorial with Angi

Hello everyone! Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here with a fun tutorial for a little girl’s party. I love the versatility of Lori’s cut files. You can use them in a variety of ways. For example, I used her Wedding Favor Box and transformed it in another way.

 

I decided to make a party favor set. I used Lori’s designer paper and chipboard accents from Echo Park. It’s called “Petticoats and Pinstripes”. It’s so adorable to use for girly parties.

Here’s how to make one of your own: First, use your electric die cutter and pretty paper to cut out the shape.

 

Next, fold at the cut lines and use adhesive to put the box together.

Add pop dots to the back of the extra cut out of the dress.

 

Place that extra piece to the front of your box to give it a 3D effect.

 

 

 

Add little pearl accents to the bottom of the dress.

You can make a whole set of these for each girl at the party. The girls would love it.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my little party idea today.

Disney Themed Box Card with Karin

20160418-_MG_5122-Edit

Someone in my Cricut group was asking if it would be possible to create a Disney themed box card. I answered that yes, you could take one of the box card designs from Lori Whitlock’s All Occasion Box Cards cartridge and then use images from a Disney cartridge to modify the box card and make anything you want.

In my video below, I show you exactly how you would do this. With the Cricut Explore and Design Space, you can literally make whatever you want. In the video, I used a Cricut cartridge, but you could also use SVG files or images from JPG files that you would print then cut and use in your box card.

I would love to see what you come up with. Leave comments below with your ideas.

 

Assembly Tutorial with Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a quick assembly tutorial for the new Magazine Holder with Shelves.   This is such a fun project to put together.

Cut all the base pieces from card stock.  I chose a pink to coordinate with the Petticoats and Pinstripes Collection from Echo Park paper.

Fold along all the score lines, apply glue to tabs and form 4 boxes.

The remaining flat pieces are used to cover seems to give your organizer a finished look.

Next, glue boxes together to form the desk organizer.

 

Apply panels to cover seams.

Complete your box by cutting the final 4 pieces in the pattern paper of your choice.

Be sure to check out all the fun new desk top organizers that Lori recently added to her shop.

 

 

Thanking the Best Teacher

When you literally have no time and HAVE to throw a card together, Lori Whitlock comes to the rescue with thousands of designs and design elements that can save the day and make you look like a PRO!

All this card took was some patterned paper with a school theme and one of Lori’s designs. I used Cricut Design Space to upload the images, flatten the elements and use the print then cut function to put together my card.

For this card, I used Lori Whitlock’s Teacher Thank You Tags file set.

After uploading my files, I flattened the images I wanted to print, then cut.

It’s a simple card, but it took no more than 15 minutes and I didn’t have to go out and buy one.

Tulip Box Card Tutorial with Courtney

Hello Lori Whitlock fans!!! This is Courtney from Court’s Crafts here with a tutorial on Lori’s new Tulip Box Card! I made this card for upcoming Mother’s Day! I know, I know… I’m a little early but with three kiddos if I am not on top of it then it will never happen!

Step 1: Cut all pieces out with your Cricut Explore or Silhouette Cameo.

Step 2: Emboss green stems and leaves.

Step 3: Lori added the numbers on the tabs for you. This helps in two ways: ordering them from front to back on the card and also the numbers allow you to orient them so you can tell which is the front and which is the back of the piece.

Step 4: Ink around the edges of the green stems and the tulip tops.

Step 5: Using foam adhesive tape, adhere the stems to the green backs.

Step 6: Add the first layer directly to the back of the front of the tulip box card.

Step 7: Using foam adhesive tape pick randomly which tulip tops you want popped and which ones you just glue down.

Step 8: Add your sentiment.

Enjoy your finished product!
