Explosion Dog House Box

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!
And the box exploding!
Perfect to hide some treats of trinkets in for a new puppy owner.
And it’s just too stinkin’ cute!  I adore this project!
Pretty sure I need a new bully dog just to go with my project…lol!
Thanks for joining us today.

Explosion Box Dinosaur

Hi friends! I’m dropping in today to share a cute card for a dinosaur lover.  This explosion box is fun and gives a little surprise when opened (SVG, Silhouette). I love box cards like this they can serve as a cute shelf sitter and a fun birthday gift. I made this card for a little boy but I also have a niece that loves dinosaurs and this card would be cute made with pinks, purples, and yellows. I used papers from the All Boy collection and Birthday Boy collection by Echo Park Paper.

 

That’s all from me today, thanks for being here.

Princess Explosion Box

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I have a niece that just turned 2 and I found the perfect card in Lori Whitlock’s Shop to give her. She is going to love this Princess Explosion Box Card (SVG, Silhouette). I used the Echo Park Paper Our Little Princess collection that Lori designed. The box has a lid with the cutest bow.

When the lid is removed, the sides and front of the box fall down revealing the pretty princess inside. The sentiment on the front flap is included with the cut file. I used the print and cut feature for my Silhouette Cameo.

I made a small change to the center castle… I cut it twice so I could layer it giving my castle some dimension. 

I embellished my explosion box with the coordinating stickers from the Our Little Princess collection.


I can’t wait to see her face when she opens it!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out Lori’s Store for more amazing cut files.

Graduation Hat Explosion Box

I have graduation on the mind.  I have a 2021 graduate in my house, and I also know several other graduates.  Today I’m sharing the Graduation Hat Explosion Box–SVG, Silhouette.

Add a gift card in the middle to complete the gift!  It’s easy to customize, you can choose school colors or make it in classic black. Make a few for your favorite grads!

Have a great day!

Birdhouse Explosion Box Cut File

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing my version of Lori’s new Birdhouse Explosion Box (SVG, Silhouette).    This box is so cute!  The adorable birdhouse falls open when the lid is removed revealing a bird in the center with a couple of pockets for messages or gift cards. 

I used paper from the Echo Park – Forward with Faith Collection.  The colors in the collection are beautiful and really pop with the black accents.

The cute file includes two print and cut sentiments… “Hello Friend” and “Happy Birthday” but this card would be perfect for so many occasions.  I think it would be really cute as a housewarming card.  You could even add a gift card to one of the pockets.    I decided to leave my sentiment portion empty for now until I decide who to give this to.

These explosion boxes are so fun to make!  They have a huge impact and look like you put a lot of work in.  Stop by the shop to see all the new explosion boxes.
