Flower Mason Jar

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here today with a tutorial on a beautiful new SVG file called Box Card Flower Filled Mason Jar (SVG, Silhouette). This box card is really stunning and is a bigger card that measures a tad over 7″ tall and 4″ wide. So, whoever you give this card to, they will most definitely want to put this on display! And like I said, I am here with a tutorial to help you assemble this little beauty!

To start off, you will want to pull your papers together and cut out the pieces. For the base of the card, I used an aqua blue cardstock. The flowers, vine, and butterfly are from the Endless Summer collection and the lid is from the Birthday Boy collection, both from Echo Park Paper.

Next you will want to adhere all of the flowers, vines, and lid to the base pieces. Set the butterfly aside until the box card is completely assembled.

Next step is to take a bone folder and run it along the perforated lines. The 2 middle jar layers should have the flaps folded upwards.

Now comes the assembly part. Flip the card base over so that the front cover (with the lid) is on the right side. Now you will want to adhere the right flap of the flower layer to the base of the card making sure to line up the tab with the perforated line of the main card base.

To check that you have lined up the tab of the flower layer, flip the front of the card base back to see that it is indeed lined up. See picture below.

Next you will adhere the vine layer to the base card making sure to line it up with both the base card and the flower layer.

And the last step is to apply glue to the 3 tabs on the left side of the pieces and adhere the box card together.

Now that the main pieces are adhered together, you can adhere the butterfly to the front and then add some embellishments! For the birthday sentiment, I took this Happy Birthday piece from the Box Card Envelope Birthday Cake Girl (Lori’s SVG, Silhouette). I can’t tell you how much I love this card! I will have to make myself one because it will be difficult to give it away.

That’s all from me today…hope you enjoy all of these fun new box card files!

4th of July Treat Boxes

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today and I have a couple of adorable 4th of July treat boxes to share. When it comes to Lori’s cut files, my favorite thing to do is pair cut files . Today’s example is the Ribbon Tie Favor Box Scalloped (SVG, Silhouette) paired with the heart from the A2 4th of July Card (SVG, Silhouette). I love the heart from the card file but didn’t really want a card. I wanted to make some treat boxes for the kids when we go to our neighbor’s 4th of July party so I took the heart and sized it down to fit the side panel of the box. The boxes by themselves are cute but I love how they turned out with the hearts on them!

I also want to point out that all of the papers I used are from the Fun on The Farm collection. The red, white, and blue papers jumped out at me the first time looking through the collection and I knew I had to make my 4th of July projects with it!

Thanks for stopping by today!

5×7 Box Card Pig Barn

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today sharing what I think is one of Lori’s cutest cards EVER!! This is the 5X7 Box Card Pig Barn (Lori’s SVG, Silhouette) and I have to be honest about how much I fell in love with this little piggy while I was making him. He is sure to brighten anyone’s day with his sweet little face. Have a friend or family member who needs a little pick me up? Then look no further than this card. It folds flat so he travels nicely through hand or through mail.

Most papers used are from the new Fun on The Farm collection and I think it adds so much more cuteness to the card! And I feel like I need to point out that I accidently flipped my paper the wrong way while cutting and had to horizontally flip the entire card (minus the chicken and pail) so if you noticed it looked different, that’s why. Lol!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Father’s Day Apron Box Card

Hello crafty friends and welcome to another Thursday tutorial! Today I want to give a quick little walk through on how to assemble the adorable Apron Box Card Father’s Day card (Lori’s SVG, Silhouette). With Father’s Day right around the corner, this is a great addition to your gift to show your appreciation to Dad! You can’t really tell from pictures but that “Best Dad Ever” piece on the front is a pocket which will hold a gift card to any of Dad’s favorite stores.

So, let’s get started making this awesome box card!

First is to gather your papers and cut out all of the pieces. That lovely red bandana print? That’s from the new collection called Fun On The Farm and I thought it perfect for this card! The sentiment is done using the print and cut feature of your cutting machine.  Lori has quick print and cut tutorials for Cricut (here) and Silhouette (here).

Next step is to adhere all of the extra pieces to the main pieces of the project.

Now fold on all of the perforated lines.

Adhere the pocket to the front of the card. Make sure that you adhere it to the side with the holes at the top of the apron.

Next adhere the box side tab together.

Now you will want to adhere the “tools” piece to the inside of the apron box.  The tabs are glued to the sides of the box.

And lastly, you will want to decorate your box card. I choose to add some black grosgrain ribbon to the top holes of the apron box. Now it’s ready to give to Dad!

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you enjoyed my small tutorial and give it a go…Dad will love it!

Spring Flower Card

Hello crafty friends! Who’s enjoying the Spring? I know I am. I am also enjoying the new set of beautiful flower cards from Lori. Today I am showing off the new A7 Flower Card 2 (Lori’s SVG, Silhouette).

 

This card was fun to put together with all of the beautiful flowers and bow. On the bow, I only adhered the center and lifted up on the edges to give some dimension. I also added a panel to the card by cutting a piece of pattern paper that is 1/8″ inch smaller on each side. I added a “oh happy day” sentiment to the card but with a different sentiment this could easily turn into a lovely Mother’s Day card!
