Hello everyone!! I just love the new sleigh box cards that Lori came out with recently, not only are they adorable they are super simple to put together. I made the sleigh poinsettia (SVG, Silhouette) one and used paper and a couple of stickers from the lovely The First Noel Collection by Echo Park. The file comes with a Merry Christmas printable sentiment but I used a sentiment sticker from the collection instead.
Hello crafty friends! It’s November 1st which means…..it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! That means Santa Claus is coming to town (soon) and I have gotten started on my Christmas cards. Have you? If you are on the hunt for some adorable box cards that are great for mailing then take a look at Lori’s new box cards!
Today, I have the oh so adorable Santa card called Box Card Sleigh Santa (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette). Santa is so cute and was fun to assemble. And he looks like he is ready to deliver some presents in his sleigh. For help with assembly, this post will give you general assembly instructions for Lori’s Shaped Box Cards. Be sure to check out all of the fun new cards in the store!
Have a great day!

Hi Everyone, I hope that everyone is having a great fall season. We are officially less than one week away from Halloween, so you still have time to create some fun cards and projects like this Box Card Window Black Cat (SVG, Silhouette) I used several of Lori’s Echo Park Paper lines to piece it together including I Love Halloween, A Perfect Autumn, and My Favorite Fall.
I love making Lori’s box cards, they are so easy to put together, really make a statement and fold flat for mailing. Here is a link to a tutorial for the Window Box Cards.
That’s it for me today, have a great week and Happy Halloween.
Hugs,
Anita
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.

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
Aimee
