Hello!  It’s my turn again for a tutorial on the Lori Whitlock blog.  
 
I am getting into the school spirit! I can’t believe school is right around the corner!

Box Card School Bus 2 

(Lori’s Shop SVG, Silhouette Store #417577)

 

Insert pieces with the print and cut sentiment. 

Insert pieces assembled.  You will glue the yellow side tabs into the  assembled box card, aligning the top of the tabs to the top of the box. My favorite piece was the notebook with the spiral binding. I think it has the “bestest” details!  I found it easier to leave the little silver pieces stuck on the mat and assemble them to the notebook right off the cutting mat. No lost little pieces!  

 

I did cut three of the other pieces out of white cardstock and colored them with copics while they were still stuck on the mat. (pencil tip, eraser and the leaf). 

 

 

The Box Pieces 

 Add glue to the tab on the right of the long yellow piece to form the box body. Align and glue the sides of the bus to each side of the box base.

Everything is ready to glue together. Glue the tires on the very last.

Having two daughters that are school teachers, I decided to make them each a school themed card for the new school year that begins soon. This is the first one!

Here  you can see the insert glued in.

 

 

Thanks for coming along on this little bus ride!

Pop Up Box Card School Bus Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I have a fun card to share with you today, just a few simple steps and you will have a card that pops up and delights your recipient.  There are lots and lots of these pop-up box cards to choose from in Lori’s Shop and in the Silhouette Online Design Store.  You can find the card here in Lori’s Shop or here in Silhouette Design Store. You can find the video assembly tutorial HERE.
The first thing that I like to do with Lori’s files is separate everything by color.  She colors all of her files and it just makes it just so dang simple.  So, I just take a few seconds to ungroup the file and sort my pieces by color for ease of cutting and then it is easier to assemble everything.  Once you’ve got it all cut out, we are ready to assemble.
First, start with your red card base and do one peak and one valley fold.
It will look like this.
Next, add your blue panels.
Now it’s time to add the gray road, this is the piece that makes your card pop up.  You are going to fold on the two score lines.
You can take a few minutes here to create your embellishments of the bus, apple, and pencil. I just used a glue pen to assemble these smaller detail pieces.
Glue your bus onto the gray road piece.
Now, we are ready to add our road to our card base.  Remember, we want this to pop up….so we are only going to put adhesive on the left side and right sides…just like in the picture below.  Just those two spots of adhesive.
Now you have your road added, you can see that the pop-up and where we are going to add are to other elements of the pencil and apple.  Just fold the tabs on each and add adhesive.  Here’s a link to Lori’s video on these pop-up cards on YouTube.  Pop Card You Tube

 

With the adhesive on each tab, you can add both the little pop-ups in just seconds.
And bam, just like that…you have the cutest little bus card.  Now I did leave the back-to-school saying out and added a little sun sticker that I had, just because it’s not back-to-school time.  Thought my granddaughter might enjoy the little sun!
Thanks for checking out this tutorial!
