Easter Basket Boxes

Leave a comment

Hello there! Today I am  moving on from Valentine’s Day and on to Easter. I am looking forward to bunnies and chicks!

For my projects today I played with the new Lori Whitlock Easter Basket Collection!

I cut several of Lori’s boxes and added all the fun Easter Basket elements. I spent an evening with my little Sidekick die cutter and die cut my self silly. When I am doing this, I put on a good movie and cut a bunch of pieces out of the different colors and just sort of mix and match away-always sure to have extra pieces because I tend to lose tiny pieces! I had fun adding the sticker elements to the finished boxes as a little extra special touch. Everything was just so fun! 

I die cut 3 baskets and lots of fun little eggs and flowers/leaves in all the different colors included in the new collection. I did cut out some grass from this file to use at the base of the boxes. I removed the scoring lines from the grass piece to cut one long strip and trimmed  pieces to fit each box at the base. As for the boxes themselves, I like to add a little extra matting to allow the patterned paper to pop a bit more. To do that, I open the offset panel and chose offset, distance of .050 and the square corner. In these projects I used white for the extra matting pieces.

***This tip will help you with these tiny dies.  I used washi tape to adhere the tiny dies on to my paper. I poked out the cut pieces but left the dies taped on to the paper. You can just put these on top of your next paper each time. Just keep the dies in place with the washi tape and store them that way as well. You won’t lose those tiny eyes or rosy cheeks that way!

Big Box Card Basket Strawberries

Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today & I want to share with you a tutorial for the berry sweet Big Box Card Basket Strawberries (SVG, Silhouette), from Lori Whitlock!
As most of you know, Strawberry projects are my favourite, so I couldn’t wait to make this card.
First step was to cut out all my pieces.
Next step is to layer & glue all your pieces, making sure to match correctly all the strawberry leaves to the green background panel before you glue. You will need to fold down the basket flaps then adhere the scalloped panels on the folded side down. The file comes with 2 flowers but as you will see, I cut some extra flowers to use as embellishments. I also inked the centres of my white flowers with some distress oxide before I glued down the circle centres or added the enamel dots. There are also some extra strawberries in the file, you can cut these if you wish for the strawberries to be seen from the back as well as the front. Note: make sure you flip the large strawberries horizontally if you wish to add these to the back of the card, remember you are doing the reverse side.
Now it’s time to put your box card together & assemble the basket. Start by folding down all the scored lines. Now glue the tabs on the inside of the box. I find the best way to do this is by folding the box flat to get the tabs nice & straight along the edge.
Next is to adhere the inside panels inside the box. These are numbered 1, 2 & 3. I started out by glueing number 2 first in the centre as I found this helped me space them evenly. Flatten your project as the glue dries each time to make sure the tabs adhere.
To finish off I adhered the strawberry onto the front using pop dots and embellished with some of the extra flowers. I also tied a bow onto the basket handle.
Hope you like my Big Box Card Basket Strawberries! This file can also be found in the Big Box Card Basket Bundle (SVG), which includes Big Box Card Basket Big Box Card Basket Flowers (SVG), Big Box Card Crafty (SVG), Big Box Card Basket Lemonade (SVG) & Big Box Card Basket Sunflowers, (SVG)

Valentine Treat’s by Mendi and Joy

Today Mendi is here sharing Lori’s Love Story paper collection and shapes. Be sure to check out her blog.

“Using the negative image of the Damask Hearts diecut that I had leftover from last week’s layout, I was able to create a quick Valentine’s Day card using Echo Park’s Love Story collection designed by Lori.   Of course no card is complete without some treats to go with it, right?  Lori’s new Heart Top Box immediately caught my eye and it was so much fun decorating it in papers to match.  A little bling and stitching for added interest and it was done!  Both these went together so easily and yet I think they will go a long way to brighten someone’s day!”

Next Joy is sharing an adorable project from the Love Story collection as well. She says…

This is so easy you’re going to love it.  I’m using Lori’s Valentine Tote file.  It’s a breeze to put together.  I cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo and Lori’s beautiful  Love Story paper.  I know I always say that it blows my mind that just a few pieces of paper can make a cool 3D project but I’m sayin’ it again!  It’s the coolest thing in the paper world to me.  This held four of my heart muffins and was really sturdy.  It’s perfect for treats for family and friends!  I have more photos and information about this project on my blog.
