Canoe Shaped Box Tutorial

Hello everyone, I have a quick and fun tutorial to share with you today, the canoe-shaped box, (SVG, Silhouette). This makes such a cute gift box filled with marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers, what little camper wouldn’t want to receive this! I used Echo Park’s Summer Adventure collection of papers and stickers to decorate.

I was able to get all the canoe pieces on one sheet of paper as you can see below. I also made two of the oars and glued them together so it would be sturdier.

After cutting all the pieces I folded all the score lines and inked all the edges.

I glued the three bottom pieces together and then added one of the side canoe pieces inside. So you wrap the flaps around the piece as you can see below. I find you get such a nice fit when you do it this way.

Then I add the other inside piece which forms the canoe.

Then I added the outer canoe sides which fit perfectly!

Last the waves and oar is added. I really enjoyed putting this together it came out so cute I think!

And don’t forget, this file and all SVGs in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop are 30% off through Saturday when you use code JUN2022 at checkout~

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Nuggets of Love: Valentine Nuggets Heart Box Tutorial

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s Valentine Nuggets Heart Box (SVGSilhouette).  This adorable little box holds three Hershey’s Nuggets and is perfect for spreading some love this Valentine’s Day.

I used my Cricut Maker to cut the pieces for the Valentine Nuggets Heart Box.  For this step, I had to ungroup all of the pieces and attach the score marks to the pieces that would be used to make the box.  There are two pieces that make up the outer box and three for the individual nugget holders.  Once I cut out all of the pieces, I folded along the score lines and added adhesive tape to the tabs.

Next, I built the box, lid, and nugget holders using the adhesive tape to connect the tab with the other side of the paper strip to form a “box”.  The bottom flaps of the box and lid do not connect to anything at this point.

Attach the smaller hearts to the larger scalloped hearts.  These will form the base for you box and lid.  Attach the lid (shorter piece) to the back of one of the hearts.  Small notches on the scalloped heart will help you to line up your lid in the appropriate place.  Next, insert the box into the lid with the tabs/flaps on the outside. Then attach the other scalloped heart to the box using the adhesive on the tabs/flaps.  Use can use the lid’s heart to help you align the top and bottom pieces.  (Note:  You want to attach the bottom tabs/flaps of the box to the side of the heart where you can see both hearts.)

Finally, you need to insert the nugget holders into the box.  You can use adhesive to connect all three nugget holders, but I just placed them inside the box without any adhesive.

You can add stickers or other embellishments to the top of the box to give it a little more flair. Otherwise, it is ready to fill up with yummy chocolate nuggets.  In addition the the Valentine Nuggets Heart Box, Lori has a couple of other Valentine’s Day heart boxes available that hold Hershey’s Kisses.   Here are the links to all of the Valentine’s Heart Boxes.

Until next time,

Recipe Box with Ashley

Welcome to the week.  Are you working on organizing things this month? I needed a place for some 3 x 5 study cards, so I made this 4×6 Recipe Box (SVG, Silhouette.)  Since the original size is for 4 x 6 cards, before ungrouping the file, I resized it for my project.  I used paper from the Lori’s Forward with Faith Collection from Echo Park.

Now my study cards have a place.  This box could be used for recipes or school study cards or storing greeting cards. I hope you have a great Monday!

Hello, since today is Memorial Day I made the Mason Canning Jar Patriotic Box ( svgsilhouette). This project is such a quick and easy one to put together I ended up making a couple of them filling them up with candies for the family cookout.

I used some of Doodlebug’s petite prints papers, added a couple of sequins and some red, white and blue twine.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

No Glue Cookie Box with Ashley

Today I’m sharing a great box.  You can find the No Glue Cookie Box here in the Lori Whitlock SVG shop or here in the Silhouette store.

I used Lori’s St. Patrick’s Day Pattern Fill to print and cut the paper panels.  I also cut a shamrock.  Several Shamrock options are in the SVG shop and the silhouette store.

The box comes as the above size, and it is 3.375″ x 3.5″ x 1.25.”   A great size for a handful of treats or a homemade cookie.  I love St. Patrick’s Day, and I plan on making more of these to share a little luck around.
