Explosion Box Dinosaur Tutorial

Oh my Gosh everyone!  Lori has designed the cutest new collection for Echo Park and I just couldn’t wait to play.  Dino-Mite is just that, dynamite.  The cutest dinosaurs, colors and patterns.  I had so much fun putting my project together and digging through the collection to find all the perfect pieces for my explosion box.  You can find the Dinosaur Explosion Box here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.

First, cut all of your pieces. Sort your pieces to make assembly easy.  I started with the lid of the box.

Fold your lid on the score lines to start to create the shape, adhere your patterned paper pieces and then add scor-tape to the tabs.

Adhere your tabs and you’ve now got the lid for your box.

Next, we will create the bottom of the explosion box. On one side you will add the 3 panels for the bottom the box and scor tape on the 5 tabs.  The extra piece you see here is the very bottom of the box, which goes on last.

Flip the bottom of your explosion box over and add the remaining pieces as shown.

Now fold and adhere into a box and add your bottom square.
You should now have this as your base.
Next up is adding the 3 inserts inside the box.  Lori makes the easy for us by numbering them.  Disclosure:  One of my favorite things to do when creating with Lori’s amazing collections is use the darling stickers and elements from the paper packs as part of the card.  I replace some pieces with the stickers.  I just dust the stickers with baby powder.
The original file is darling, I just couldn’t resist these stickers.
Fold on the score line and add scor tape
Insert your pieces next.
Now for the fun part………….EMBELLISH!  This does not fold flat for mailing. So it might have to be hand delivered.
The bow is easy peasy, is just loops together.  You don’t need my assistance here.
Adorable!
Thank you for stopping by today!

Tuesday Awesome New SVG File!

NEW FILES – 25% OFF this week!

Check out the new SVG file project that I designed for you this week! The best part is that this new SVG file is ON SALE 25% OFF through Sunday at midnight in the SVG Shop. This project has been a labor of love and I’m super happy with how it turned out. This is the only new release we have for the week and it’s a special one. I designed a birthday card organizer that includes compartments for pens, 5×7 cards, A7 envelopes, and a print+cut birthday date planner that you can make. It also includes 3 drawers to store stamps, washi tape, paperclips, and tags in. I think you’re going to love it! I also have an assembly tutorial video for you on my YouTube Channel.

Note: I’m sorry that there are not more new releases this week, but my 91-year-old father fell and broke his hip this weekend so I’ve been helping him through surgery and the beginning of recovery. We have a few hard weeks ahead as he recuperates from this. But, he’s a trooper so we all have hopes of a good recovery for him. Everyone careful out there!

Hot Dog and Pop Shaped Cards

Hello friends! Marcia here today. I love shaped cards. They are fun and easy to assemble too. With picnic season upon us I thought these two shaped cards; the No 10 Hot Dog Birthday Card (SVG, Silhouette)  and the No 10 Pop Card  (SVG, Silhouette) were just what a birthday boy and my Dad needed. 

I used various Lori Whitlock solid papers from several different collections to create these cards. The print and cut feature of my Silhouette Cameo works great for printing the sentiments.
This Pop card originally had a birthday sentiment but I thought it would work just as great for Father’s Day. I just substituted my own font and text and then print and cut just as I did for the hot dog card sentiment.

These cut files can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of shaped cards. Check out the hamburger and french fries shaped cards. The hot dog card will fit in a 5×7 envelope and the Pop card will need a business envelope. Have fun creating!

Thanks so much for stopping by,
~Marcia

 

 

Explosion Box Dinosaur

Hi friends! I’m dropping in today to share a cute card for a dinosaur lover.  This explosion box is fun and gives a little surprise when opened (SVG, Silhouette). I love box cards like this they can serve as a cute shelf sitter and a fun birthday gift. I made this card for a little boy but I also have a niece that loves dinosaurs and this card would be cute made with pinks, purples, and yellows. I used papers from the All Boy collection and Birthday Boy collection by Echo Park Paper.

 

That’s all from me today, thanks for being here.

Garden Box Birthday Card

Anita here with a fun post on this April morning.  Do you have a gardener in your life who is getting excited that it is spring?  Well, I do, so I assembled Lori’s Garden Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) and used another of her box cards to have the pieces for the sentiment so that I could personalize it.  I used A2 Box Card Home (SVG, Silhouette).  I also used Lori’s brand new Echo Park Paper collection called Bee Happy.  It is so fun and I also used Endless Summer which was an Echo Park Paper collection of hers from last summer.  I will be folding this card flat for mailing and sending it off to a special lad.
That’s it for me today.  Thanks for looking and be sure to check out Lori’s shop for all your spring and summer paper crafting needs.
Hugs,
Anita
