Pumpkin Truck Back Box Card

October 2, 2023September 28, 2023

Hello everyone. Marcia here.

Fall is officially here and I will soon be venturing to our local pumpkin patch with the family for some fun activities. For Fall wishes, The Lori Whitlock’s Pumpkin Truck Back Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) is so festive. It reminds me of those trips to the pumpkin patch.

I created my truck from cardstock and added some solid pattern papers from the Echo Park Paper I Love Fall collection. I couldn’t resist adding the little racoon to my truck bed. He was cut from a die cut ephemera piece.

I know this card will put a smile on someone’s face! Best of all it folds flat for mailing. Lori has lots of other fun Fall cards in her shop. Go take a look.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Hi there and happy almost Fall! I live in the desert southwest and it has been hot, so I am very ready for cooler temps! Today, I am sharing a tutorial for the 3D Small Pumpkin (SVG, Silhouette). There is also a larger version of this pumpkin (SVG, Silhouette) that comes together in the same way. The smaller size fits nicely in my tiered tray so that is what I went with. I also used papers and embellishments from Lori’s new I Love Fall paper collection by Echo Park Paper.

First, I folded all of the score lines as mountain folds and put a slight curve in the paper for the sides of the pumpkin. I also added a curve to the decorative paper sides. I used liquid glue to secure the decorative panels to the front, back, and sides of the pumpkin. I found working from the center out was the best to get the panels spaced evenly.

There is one inside piece in the file that helps shape the pumpkin. This piece is glued on the inside of all the tabs. You could cut two, but it isn’t necessary, and if you do cut two, add it after the stem is in place. I added glue to the top of the inside piece of the pumpkin (shortest side) and folded the largest tab over and making sure all of the corners meet up and are straight. Once it’s dry and secure, I added glue to one side of the entire edge of the inside piece, started at the bottom, and made sure to line the edges up then proceeded to secure the rest of the tabs to the inside piece. Repeating the process for the other side.

For the steam. There are five decorative panels. One is a square that goes in the middle and the others are polygon shapes that go around the middle making a cross. I added glue to the empty squares and folded the steam making a small box. The tabs on the bottom of the steam are inserted into the top of the pumpkin. There are two short tabs and two more extended tabs. The short tabs are glued down pointing toward the sides of the pumpkin. (so as not to go over the score lines)

Now it is time to secure the front and back of the pumpkin. Like before, I started with the bottom tab and ensured the corners and edges were all lined up. I then added glue to all the tabs, added the decorative panel over, and, did my best to make sure everything was lined up and secure. Flipped the pumpkin over and repeated the process.

The file comes with a couple of pumpkin leaves and a vine. I ended up cutting the stems off of the leaves and securing them to the front of the pumpkin. I also added a few puffy stickers and chipboard from the collection as well as some gold ink splatter.

I love how this little pumpkin turned out. It is a fun little Fall project that makes a darling decor piece for my kitchen tray. Thanks for stopping by today!

Box Card Crate Pumpkins

September 4, 2023September 3, 2023

Hey crafters! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a fall card that I made using one of Lori’s fabulous cutting files called Box Card Crate Pumpkins (SVG, Silhouette). It’s perfect for the upcoming autumn season and, with a quick sentiment change … it can be given for lots of different occasions.

Fall Pumpkin Box Card made with a Lori Whitlock cutting file

I created this with Echo Park’s I Love Fall Collection designed by Lori. The earthy colors were perfect with rust, orange, green, golden yellow, and brown.

I embellished the card with some enamel dots and a few really cute stickers from the 12×12 sticker sheet. I just love the little mouse sniffing that big sunflower. So cute!

I used a bunch of beautiful prints from the 6×6 paper pad for all of the pieces except for the crate. I used the 12×12 Autumn Woods print for that.

The card folds flat for sending in an envelope or for storing as a wonderful memento.

I hope you’re looking forward to the change in seasons. It’s a great time to create new projects with Lori’s amazing cutting files and the I Love Fall Collection. Happy crafting!

Camping Backpack Tutorial

August 19, 2021August 16, 2021

Hello everyone Brigit here, I’m so happy to be back on Lori’s Creative Team again, I’ve really missed being here!

I have a tutorial to share today, I love making bags and boxes to fill with treats and I thought this Camping Backpack that Lori made for Father’s Day (SVG, Silhouette) would be such a cute fall gift box with hot chocolate and marshmallows inside.

This is really a super easy box to put together and it can be used for so many different gift ideas.

I use Silhouette Studio so the first thing I always do is select the paper I want to use and then I separate the pieces into groups like I’ve done above and then I’ll group and change the color. On this project, I only ended up using one sheet of solid cardstock and three-patterned sheets from Echo Park’s My Favorite Fall Collection. All the embellishments I used for this project are also from that same collection.

For the pockets you can see in the photo above on the 3 medium blue rectangles that I welded the top and bottoms together, the paper is double-sided so I just folded down for the top flap.

I didn’t use the tag in this file but if you need a tutorial on print and cut Kathy has a good one here using Silhouette Studio. We also have one for Cricut here.

The main box is just one piece, I added the layers first and then folded all the score lines and glued the side flap first and then the top and bottom, that’s it, I just love how this box went together!

After assembling the box I added the two straps in the back, I trimmed them a little just to make them a little bit shorter and then added the pockets.

For the top sleeping bag I used a bone folder to curve it first, this really helps with the assembly. I glued two flaps at a time going from one side to another and it worked out great.

Here is the sleeping bag all rolled up, I just added the two bands and then the side pieces. Last I glued it to the top of the backpack and embellished it.

I really enjoyed putting this project together!

Very, Very Not-So-Scary Autumn Paper Houses with Michelle

October 1, 2018September 28, 2018

Thank you for joining me, Michelle, in sharing some Autumn crafting with Echo Park Paper’s Celebrate Autumn collection. Autumn is my favorite time of year to craft. I love all of the colors and textures of the Season.

Autumn Paper Houses

To make my Celebrate Autumn houses, I used Haunted House Smaller and Haunted House Tall svg files. As you can see, my houses aren’t scary at all! I just snipped the cobwebs of with my scissors.

Lori Has a great assembly video where she explains step by step how to put them together. You can find the files for the Haunted House Smaller at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or at the Silhouette Design Store.
