Box Card Crayon Back to School Tutorial

Hi there! Are your kids already headed back to school? Mine starts next week and I have nieces and nephews who have already started. Crazy. With school starting soon we also have “meet the teacher night” and I like to give a card to our new teacher. This year I made the Box Card Crayon Back to School (SVG,) card. Here is how I made it.

This box card only has one insert, but I cut two of each of the crayons. The pieces are kind of small but manageable. I used a sticker maker for some of the really small ones and I fine tip glue bottle for everything else. I folded all of the score lines as mountain folds. I inked the outside pieces with like colors and the smaller detail pieces of the crayons I used black ink.

I glued the crayons in ROYGBV order on the insert and glued the second set of crayons in the reverse order on the inside of the back of the box card (I did this after I glued the box together). I also glued the front details of the crayon box on as well as the sentiment.

With the crayon box open flat, I glued the left tab of the insert onto the left side of the box card lining up the tab up with the innermost score line. I also folded the front of the box card over to help line everything up.

With the box card open flat again I folded the left outside edge tab in and added the glue. Then I added glue to the right-side tab on the insert. The tab should be lined up with the score line on the inside of the box card.

I folded the front of the box card over and held in place while the glued set. Also making sure everything was lined up correctly.

I glued the second row of crayons in and added a few stickers from the School Rules collection by Echo Park Paper.

 

This card turned out so cute. Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Back to School!

Box Card Fishing Boat

Do your summer plans involve going to the lake and fishing or boating?  Our family spent an afternoon paddle boarding on a mountain lake. We had a great time enjoying the outdoors and sunshine.

Do you have a favorite angler?  I’m sharing a fishing boat box card today on the blog. Find it in the SVG shop and Silhouette store.

This is a fun 3d card that you can display during fishing season.

Thanks for stopping by!

Father’s Day and the Box Card Cabin

Anita here with a fun Father’s Day card for the active/outdoorsy type of dad.  It is called Box Card Cabin (SVG, Silhouette).  I used some of Lori’s Echo Park Paper collections including Let’s Go Anywhere, Here Comes the Sun and Halloween Party.  There were more pieces to put on the front of the card but I decided to just use the one wood grain piece for the front of my house.

 

 
As always, the beauty of a box card is that it folds flat for mailing.  Be sure to check out all of Lori’s wonderful SVG’s for Father’s Day.

Hugs,

Anita

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!

Graduation Hat Box Card Tutorial

It’s almost time for all the Graduation announcements to start rolling in and Lori has all the perfect cards for the new Grads.  I have a tutorial to share with you today with one of her new files, and you guessed it…a box card.  It’s the Box Card Graduation Hat in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Design Store.

First, I chose my colors of card stock and cut everything out as you can see below.  I love that Lori colors all of her files.  It just makes it all so easy,

After I get all of my pieces cut out, I find it easier when making box cards or envelope cards, to adhere all the bits and pieces to the main parts while everything is still flat. Not dimensional yet. So here you can see that I have all three of my box card pieces layered and adhered.
Then I add scor tape to all of the tabs, a nice strong double-sided tape works best for these cards.
You can see the scor tape on the tabs, it’s the white strips.
Next, assemble your box and then add your two layers…the hat and the stars.
You can see below how they are adhered inside the box.
These are so much fun to create and give such a WOW factor. Remember they fold flat for mailing too!
I adore how this turned out. Just so fun for the Graduate!
Thanks for joining us today!
