Camping Box Card Cut File

Hello crafty friends! Michelle here with you today to share one of the new Lori Whitlock Box Cards. This was so much fun to make!

The Camping Box Card is my new favorite guy card. I love the details! It folds flat and fits in a standard A7 envelope. Isn’t that cool? I changed the sentiment because I’m sending it to someone who has been in poor health lately. I know that he’ll like it as much as I do!

You can find the files for this card at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or at the Silhouette Design Store. Either way, be sure to check out her other new files too. They are all pretty amazing!

Have a great week!

Father’s Day Shadow Box Card with Ashley

Today I’m sharing with you a Shadow Box Canoe Card that you can use for a Father’s Day Card.

You can find this in Lori’s Shop and at Silhouette.

I have some tips for this card if you are using Cricut Design space.  When you open this file, the envelope is just slightly too big for the 11.5″ cutting space in Cricut Design Space. To remedy this, you will want to select all the pieces and just resize them a little.

After you have resized, ungroup and select just the envelope to make sure it is under 11.5″.  If not regroup all the pieces and try resizing a bit more.

I edited the file a bit further.  I recolored the covering panels since I wanted them the same paper as the frame panel.

After cutting all the pieces I started assembling.  Lori has a video tutorial here that can help you with the hidden binding.  I decided to add a few touches.  I added an orange and blue paper behind the canoe to give a little different look.  I also inked the greenery in the front of the card.  I used Lori’s paper line with Echo Park called Summer Adventure.

The back of the card is where you glue a panel to include a notecard.

And folded flat, this card fits into the envelope.

Have a great day!

Graduation Hat Jar Toppers with Anita

Hi Everyone:

Anita here to share with you a fun tutorial to make this Graduation Hat Wide Mouth Topper.  You can find this awesome cut file here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette store.  The Mason jars are by Ball and are 24 oz.  The opening is 3.5 inches in diameter.  Lori also has a cut file for a smaller Mason jar.

Here are the pieces that you will be cutting.  I edited the square shaped hat topper and transformed it into a hexagon to look like the PhD graduation cap that my best friend’s daughter wore at her recent graduation.

Here is a close up of the jars for you to see what they look like.

First you want to take the long, tabbed strip and fold the tabs along the score lines.  Glue the ends of the strip together to be in the shape of a circle.

Take the first circle and insert it inside the ring, gluing it to the folded tabs.  This helps keep the circle in shape.  Next, turn the ring over and glue the second circle over the tabs to hide them.

I made a tassel out of some twine in the school colors and threaded it through the hole in the larger of the two mortar board pieces.  I taped the end underneath and trimmed it so that you couldn’t see it.

Next, I glued the second, smaller mortar board piece over the twine tassel end and glued the circle base to the top centering it.

Here is another photo which might be a bit easier to see the parts.  These lovely toppers easily slip on and off the jar, making it easier to access the treats!

That’s it for me.  Thanks for looking and be sure to check out Lori’s store for all your spring and early summer celebration needs.

Hugs,

Anita
