Bone-A-Fide Birthday Bash Box

February 19, 2026February 18, 2026Leave a comment

I have a fun little project to share with you today, Birthday Explosion Box to celebrate my Cash’s Birthday. I’ll get photos printed this week and add them to the tags in the box. Lori has a brand new Party Animal Collection from Echo Park. This is such a sweet line for Birthday’s of our precious pups. Perfect colors and the cutest embellishments.

You can find the file here in Lori’s Shop and here in The Silhouette Design Store. It is a really easy project to put together and it has WOW results.

Here is the Birthday Boy! He turned 5 just a few days ago.

We celebrated with a walk and a hamburger!

So I’ll walk you through a quick tutorial. First, start by cutting out all your pieces and ink all the edges.

Next, fold your box shape and the score lines.

Easy peasy, put the lid of the box together.

Fold and glue your library pockets. There are four!

Add eyelets if you wish to your tags.

Then simply adhere the pockets with the tags to the inside of your box.

Now for the cake. I used liquid glue to adhere these. This little cake is a box, so you could add little trinkets or a little gift for the recipient. I’m not sure what I will put in there for Cash.

Make both the top and bottom pieces the same way. Fold all the little tabs inward and adhere the ends together, as shown in step two. There are two circles for each box, on the brown piece, one fits in the inside and the other on the bottom. This makes a nice clean finish for the bottom of the cake.

Do exactly the same with the lid. Lori’s file has a sweet little candle but I love to use embellishments from the line on my projects, so I picked a couple of candle stickers and placed them back to back.

Now adhere the box in the center of the box or you could just add it and your recipient can take it out.

That’s it, now fold up your box and put the lid on.

Of course, this is where the fun really begins. You get to embellish and make it your own!

I love this so much!

And this sweet little tag…sit, stay and CELEBRATE!

Thanks for joining us today and I hope you check all of Lori’s Explosion Boxes!

5×7 Box Card Happy Birthday Dog

5×7 Box Card Happy Birthday Dog

Hello Little Midge

I am expecting a new little grand doggie coming into the family soon. Her name is Midge and she is a little Frenchton. She’s mostly a black/brown brindle with a touch of white and is the cutest little roly poly pup!

My daughter Abby is anxiously awaiting the day when Midge can come to stay. It was Abby’s birthday recently so I made this card with a little “Midge” wishing her happy birthday! It is a very easy box card with lots of colorful balloons! (and very easy to mix it up by changing the colors) The sentiment is a print and cut that is provided in the file. Of course I always print about 10 so I can use the sentiments on other projects!

I hope you enjoy this card. It can be found in Lori’s shop (click on the top link at the very top) or can be found at the Silhouette store HERE

Explosion Dog House Box

June 1, 2023May 31, 2023

HI everyone! I’m sharing a fun, easy tutorial with you today with Lori’s Explosion Dog House Box. There are a lot of pieces, but it really goes together quickly and easily. I was done in no time at all. I used Lori’s Echo Park Pets Collection for my project today. Almost every pet is represented with this collection, soooooo cute and the colors are just too fun. You can also find this file here in the Silhouette Design Store.

I always start by cutting everything out, it’s easy as Lori has everything colored and easy to ungroup. After I get everything cut out, I organize my pieces and just start assembling them. I used scor-tape, scotch atg adhesive, glue dots and a glue pen to adhere the box.

Below are all my pieces, cut and sorted.

First, start with the lid, adhere the panels and add scor- tape to the little tabs. Fold on the score lines and assemble.

Next, score and add scor tape to the tabs for the inside dog house.

Adhere.

Now the same for your roof pieces. I changed up some colors, as you will see. These score lines and tabs are a bit smaller, so on this I used some mini glue dots and a glue pen.

Too cute!

Now onto the pockets for the inside of the box. Just fold on the score lines and add scor-tape. Adhere the pockets and add the inserts.

Next, I glued the four pockets to the base of the explosion box, for this I just used my Scotch atg gun.

Then assemble your little dog house and adhere the bottom the dog house to the box base with scor-tape.

Now you are ready for the fun part….just embellish and have fun. This collection is so happy, I found all the perfect embellishments and little details to make my heart smile.

Here’s the box all folded up!
