Window Box Card Tutorial

Hi Everyone!  We are happy to be back on the blog after being down for a few days!  We appreciate your patience.

Today I have a tutorial showing how to assemble the new Box Card Window Files.  I made the new Box Card Fall Window Bird (SVG, Silhouette) using papers from Echo Park Paper’s Harvest Market Collection.  This is such a sweet card which could be used to welcome in fall or even wish someone a Happy Birthday just by changing out the sentiment.

To start I cut out the pieces of the card.  I layered the window pieces and glued, print and cut the sentiment, and added the layers to the inserts.  If you ever need help with specific piece placement in Lori’s cards… here is a great hint…  you can reload the file into your cutting software.  Lori groups the pieces together as they go in the final project so it’s easy to see how things are layered and pieced together.


Next I added the window to the inside back of the card base. (the outside of my card is maroon, the inside or b-side of the paper is navy)

The next steps cover adding the inserts.  I started with the bird insert since it goes furthest back.  I glued the insert tab to the side of the base, aligning the top of the insert base with the top score line on the side.

Next I added the flower insert.  I glued the tab to the side of the base, just beyond the tab of the first insert.  Leave a little space between the insert tabs so that the card will fold flat.  You want to make sure that the inserts are aligned together and to the bottom of the window.

Add adhesive to the remaining insert tabs, and to the tab on the base of the card.

Fold the base over, pressing down to make sure the edge of the base is secure and that the inserts are adhered to the inside of the card base.

Looking down inside the box part of the card, you can see that the inserts are perfectly aligned.  As a last step I added the sentiment to the front of the card base.  This card folds flat for mailing and fits into an A2 Envelope.  If you need one, Lori has a great set here.

Strawberry Mason Jar Box Card

Hello crafty friends! Have you all seen the adorable new mason jar box cards? They are so stinking cute and I am loving both versions with the strawberries and the blackberries! Today I made the Box Card Mason Jar Strawberry version (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette) and of course I had to make it with the Farmer’s Market collection from Echo Park Paper.

In addition to the gorgeous pattern paper used, I added some bling and tied on some jute that just sent this card over the top on cuteness! I absolutely love how this card turned out!

Have a great day

Sending Hugs Floral Envelope Box Card

Hello friends! Do you know someone that could use a pick me up? Marcia here today. Sending hugs with this cute Flower Envelope Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) really lets people know you care. I created this card using the new Echo Park Paper Farmer’s Market collection.

The sentiment that comes with this cut file was for a birthday. It is easy to substitute a different sentiment using stamps to suit your needs. You can also add ephemera die cuts and swap out the flower centers with enamel dots to add more dimension.

Check out all the other envelope box cards in Lori’s shop. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Donut Worry Be Happy – Food Truck Tutorial

Hello friends! Marcia here today. Toward the end of summer when all the county fairs are in full swing and the state fair is looming, I start craving mini donuts. I can’t help myself. I thought it appropriate to indulge myself and at least make a donut card. Lucky for me Lori has the cutest little Donut Truck Box Card in her store (SVG, Silhouette).

This card has lots of pieces, but it is super easy to put together. Let me show you how.

  1. Cut out all the donut truck pieces from the desired color of cardstock or pattern paper. I used the Print and Cut feature in the Silhouette Design Studio to print Donut Worry Be Happy on my computer’s printer before cutting it out.
  2. Arrange all the front cut outs with the front base cardstock truck and start to glue the pieces in place as shown.  I found it easier to work from the bottom up. Layering the truck body on first, followed by the truck’s side panel and tires. Last I added the truck window and awning. I placed foam tape under my awning only on the bottom so that it would pop up away from the truck. The top of the awning was glued to the truck.

3. Arrange the middle card cut outs and glue in place lining up the sprinkles and cheeks. Pink on top of the light brown. Then that on top of the dark brown and finally adhering the donut to the center card base.

4. Then we assemble the back of the truck card, gluing down the side panel and wheels.

5. Now that all the pieces are assembled, it is super easy to glue the front to the back of the truck creating a box. Add some glue to the center card tabs and carefully adhere to the inside of the card, lining up the top.

This is such an adorable card and is sure to lift the spirits of any recipient, especially if gifted along with donuts 🙂  Be sure to check out all the other food truck box cards in Lori’s shop as well. Note: This box card does fold flat for mailing in a 5×7 envelope.

Have a great week!

Washing Machine Box Card

I don’t know about you, but laundry seems to be a never ending process around here.  I swear, I throw 3 items in the hamper and they multiply to be at least 12!  When I saw this adorable Box Card Washing Machine (SVG, Silhouette) I couldn’t resist making it!  I love the acetate washer door, it adds the perfect touch!  This card would be perfect for just about anyone! Even better, I don’t have to dry, fold and put it away!

This card is a shaped box card.  For assembly help with Lori’s shaped box cards see this post.  Have you made any cards from Lori’s Shop?  Make sure to tag @loriwhitlock on Facebook and Instagram.  We love to see what you create.  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
