Apple Gift Box

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing my take on Lori’s Apple Gift Box (SVG, Silhouette). This would be a great pick me up for your favorite teacher.   I used the School Rules collection that Lori designed for Echo Park.

I used some pattern papers from the 6 x 6 paper pad and a sticker from the sticker sheet to embellish this fun box.  It’s the perfect size for some candy, a gift card, or even some small school supplies!    You can find several of these boxes in all kinds of cute themes in Lori’s shop.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Back To School Organizer

Hello crafty friends! It’s that time of year! Schools are starting back! For my family, we are doing  virtual online schooling for my kiddo and while we were getting her desk ready we realized that she would need something to organize her highlighters and colored pencils. I found the Desk Organizer 2 (Lori’s SVG shop, Silhouette) and I knew it would be perfect.

And how cute is it all dressed up in the new School Rules collection? I pulled out a could of ephemera pieces that go together perfectly. And here is a picture with all of my daughter’s markers and pencils.

It is on her desk and we are ready for school now! Thank you all for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed my desk organizer!

Back to School Favor Boxes

Hello Crafty Friends! Michelle here with you today to share the cutest little Back to School Favor Boxes.

Aren’t they adorable? The boxes can be used for any occasional, but their sweet little glasses reminded me of back-to-school time. They look ready to study!

You can find the pig at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and also at the Silhouette Design Store. The cow can also be found at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Design Store. There’s more little animals in this set, so be sure to check those out as well. Just for fun, I added the little bows. You can find that SVG file at the Silhouette Design Store or at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. It’s a great file to add to your SVG collection.

Happy Crafting!

 

Pencil Shaped Box 2 Assembly with Brigit

The pencil shaped box 2 makes a great gift for a student or teacher, just fill it with some treats or small school supplies, even a gift card. You can also get the file here from the Silhouette Design Store. The paper used is from Echo Park’s Back to School collection designed by Lori.

I change all my score lines  to solid in Silhouette Studio Business Edition and save the file as an svg to bring into Cricut Design Space so I can cut it out on my Cricut Maker. The new scoring wheel works great and it’s worth the extra step to fix my lines. I really like SSBE better than Design Space that’s why I do it this way but you can change the lines in Design Space also.

I actually change the lines an easier way now, I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. I release compound path all the score marks and delete all but one in each row, I select that one and drag it to make it longer, works great.

Here’s all my pieces cut out, you can see how nice a job the cricut’s scoring wheel does. I forgot I had to do a tutorial so I had put together my project already I cut out these pieces using solid color cardstock, that’s why the difference in the competed project photo.

I bent all my score lines and put some scor tape on each tab, it gives a nice strong immediate hold, but you can use any glue that has a good hold.

For the bottom part of the box I cut out two octagon pieces, one to put inside which helps to form the box easier and one for the bottom. You can make the inside a tiny bit smaller then the bottom for a better fit.

Here’s the bottom glued on, the two pieces make it very sturdy, you really can put a bunch of treats inside this box.

Next I put the top of the pencil on, I raised all the tabs up and put the piece on all at once, I just held it in place and then put my hand inside and gently pushed each tab to the top.

Last is the pencil tip, glue the whole inside and place on top. I made sure all my seams lined up.

It really is a super simple box to put together and so cute, I just added a piece of twine and tag from the Back to School collection.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
