Stationery Box

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share the stationery box I made (SVG, Silhouette).  I decided to make this adorable little card holder for a friend when I ended up with some left over journaling cards from a scrapbook project.  I was able to fit 5 A2 sized cards in the box along with matching envelopes.

If you aren’t sure exactly how to put the box together, Lori has a video tutorial using a box that is similar to this one.  I had to adjust the size slightly to accommodate the size restrictions of my Cricut Maker. However, I was still able to make the box using one sheet of paper on a 12×12 cutting mat.

Although the  box is made to store a set of A2 sized cards and envelopes, you could use it to give a gift card or small gift.  Since they store flat, you can make several of them and simply pop them open when you’re ready to use them.

Until next time,

Michelle

Gnome Box Tutorial

There is a new Gnome Box Collection in the Lori Whitlock SVG store.  They are all so cute.  Here’s some quick tips about putting these together.

 

The gnome I pieced together can be found here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, and at the Silhouette Design store here.

I used paper from Lori’s Little Lumberjack collection by Echo Park.

If you have a Cricut and a scoring tool or wheel, you will want to upload the Solid SVG file.  If you are using Silhouette or don’t have a scoring tool, you will want to use the Dashed Lines SVG file.

Here are all the gnome pieces.  There are gnomes on both sides of the box.

This is the box piece.  Notice that the gnomes will cover the sides of this box.  And you will see the pattern of this paper on the short side when completed.

Assemble all the gnome pieces on the flat box.

Then glue the box flaps together to complete the box.

 

This cute box could be used in a number of ways–class party craft, table name cards, or treat boxes.  Have fun creating!

Boo Treat Box with Ashley

Have you ever been “Boo’d” by your neighbors?  Or do you want to start the fun neighborhood tradition?  It involves leaving a treat secretly at a neighbor’s door with a note telling them to “Boo” another neighbor and posting a sign that they have been “Boo’d.”

Well some very cute neighbors boo’d our house the other day.  And if something is going on my door, I want it to be cute!  Lori has several Halloween treat boxes, and the one I used includes the word Boo.  I created the treat box, then I sized the Word BOO as big as my paper.  I think it looks so cute on the door.  And the treat box is oh so fun too.  It’s ready to go to another neighbor! Silhouette Store; SVG

Here are the pieces of the box.  This box is really fun; it requires no glue for the box part.  Just a little adhesive to add the pieces onto the top.

If you cut out a big Boo in black, save the inner piece of the B.  It fits nicely behind the ghost’s eyes if you happen to use a patterned or white piece of paper.

 

I sized up the whole box just a little bit to fill the width of a 12 x 12.  The finished dimensions of the box are 5″ x 5″ x 1.5″.

Enjoy your week and maybe BOO a neighbor or 2.

 

4 Drawer Organizer Tutorial with Anita

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a tutorial to create this adorable four drawer organizer.  I am going to show you how to put this cutie together and was thinking that you could customize them for every season.  I am going to put chocolates into mine and give it to a friend.  You can find the 4 Drawer Organizer cut file here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used one of my favorite Echo Park Lori Whitlock designed paper lines called Sweet Baby Girl.Here is a screen shot of the cut files on my mat.  You will need to cut four of the outer box and the inner box as noted in black bold type near the boxes cut files.

Here are the pieces that you will have once you have cut everything for your project.

I always start my projects by folding the score lines as you can see by the photo above.

For the inner box you are going to want to glue the tabs from the back of the box to the side of the box.

Next you will glue the back flap into the box.

Next you will glue down the front flap into the box.

Lastly, you will glue in to the box the two last flaps and your inner box is done.

Now onto the outer box.

There are flaps along the bottom of the box cut file and you will be gluing the tabbed pieces together and leaving the flaps alone for now.


Here you can see that I have started to glue together the tabs on the outside box and am ready to glue the last side onto the box with the flaps left alone for now.


Here you can see that I glued together the last part of the box and the flaps are open and at the top.  They are going to get glued into the box and will make a lovely clean box with smooth insides which allows the inner box to slide easily in and out.

And that is how you put together both of the boxes.  Next, you will stack the four outer boxes two by two and glue them all together.  Make sure that you put enough glue to hold them together.  Lastly, you are going to glue on your accent pieces to finish off your box.  You could also add any cute embellishments that you want.

Hugs,

Anita

Teacher Thank You With Anita

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with an adorable lunch bag teacher treat holder.  I used Lori’s cut file called Lunch Bag Thank You Teacher and you can find it here in her store and here in the Silhouette Store.  I used Lori’s brand new collection from Echo Park called Celebrate Autumn. I used her wood grain embossing folder to give the bag some dimension.

This was so easy to create and would fit a gift card perfectly as well as some chocolates.  A little gift to the teacher to get the year off to a great start.

I love the print and cut little chalk board that is part of this set.  Hope you have a chance to check out this cute and so easy to put together gift set as well as many other wonderful fall and back to school designs.

Hugs,

Anita
