Box Card Birdhouse Flowers Tutorial

Hi there friends! Has Spring sprung where you live yet? It has where I live and I’m ready for it. I have loved all the springtime files that are showing up in Loris’s shop and knew I needed to make one. Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Box Card Birdhouse Flowers (SVG, Silhouette).

This card is darling as is, but I needed to put a little spin on it with bees. I used the Bee Happy collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also resized everything to be a little bigger.

 

 

I first glued all of the flowers together. All of the flowers have two layers and a center. I swapped out the paper centers for enamel dots. I then glued all of the flowers onto the green inserts. The middle insert has most of the flowers while the back insert has two flowers. For the first insert I trimmed off the bird and glued on the bee sticker.

Next, I glued on the decor for the birdhouse. (I forgot to take a proper picture) There are two sets of two roof pieces, two rounds for the doorway and a smaller round for decoration. There are also two base pieces for the bottom of the birdhouse and one for a perch. One of the completed roofs and bottom pieces are for the back. The base of the of the box card comes in two pieces that needs to be glued together. Line up the edge of large tab with the side of the house. With the front of the house facing down, I glued the inserts in. Be sure to have the right side of the insert facing you. All of the tabs are valley folds. I added glue to back of the right tab then lined the tab up with the straight edge of the front of the house and the top of the side of the box base. Then lined up the next two inserts up next to the back of the insert in front and the top of the side of the box card. I then carefully folded the inserts over making sure not to bend the leaves of the flowers so that the wrong sides of the inserts are facing up.

 

I had to trim the edges of the left tabs because they were overlapping the tab in front of it a little bit. Then I added glue to all of them and folded the base of the box card over making sure all the small tab lined up correctly. I then added glue to the large tab on the base and folded the back of the card over holding in place until the glue set.

 

I then added a bee sticker to the front on the card and tucked one into the back flowers.

 

 

 

I really like how this one turned out. I hope you all have a happy spring and thanks for being here.

Shadow Box Bee Card Tutorial

Hello friends! Traci here and today I have the cutest little card to share with you that’s perfect for summer. I made it using one of Lori’s awesome cutting files called Shadow Box Bee Card (SVG, Silhouette) and I’m so in love with all the pretty layers!

Shadowbox Bee Card made with a Lori Whitlock cutting file


I’ve had so much fun creating with Lori’s Bee Happy Collection that she designed for Echo Park. So, I chose the honeycomb print from it called Life is Sweet for the front and the solid green for the leaves and stems. The colors were perfect. 

Here’s a quick tutorial on how I put the card together …

Cut out all of the white pieces first so that you can see how
the colored pieces are going to be adhered.

Add your colored patterned paper to the white cardstock pieces before gluing the 2 card bases together. 

Then adhere one of the base tabs to the back of the other base as shown above. The other tab (on the right side in the photo above) will be what you use later to secure the front with.

Adhere all of the fun colored pieces to the 3 inside white scenes.

Then add the scenes inside the shadowbox base. Start with the blue flowers first, inserting the tabs into the slots on the sides.

Repeat this for the bee scene, then continue with the last one that has the red flowers.

Once they are securely in place, you can close the front of the card and adhere it to the tab on the left.

And voila!! You’ve got an un-bee-lievably cute card to send to someone special. When it’s open, it can stand alone on a shelf, desk, or counter for display.

But when it’s being sent through the mail or stored, it can be folded flat. I hope you have fun with this one! Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a great day!

Beehive Box Card

What’s the buzz? The buzz is Lori has the cutest bee cards in Shop and the sweetest new Echo Park collection to create those designs with…Bee Happy. There are so many cute bee and beehive designs to choose from in her shop and you can find them in the Silhouette Design Store also. You can create endlessly with her files and this collection.

And of course, I chose a box card. You can find this adorable card here in Lori’s Store or here in the Silhouette Design Store. I used the Bee Happy collection for the flowers and the pieces on the beehive, and the bee is a little sticker from the collection also. I love this little hive, how sweet and cheery.  What a perfect way to brighten someone’s day!  I hope it brightened yours!
