Box Card Tractor Tutorial

Anita here with a fun card tutorial to put together Lori’s Box Card Tractor (SVG, Silhouette).  I made this for my grandson and used John Deere type colors as my inspiration.

Here are the pieces that I cut.  Because I wanted my tractor to be yellow and green I cut extra pieces of the inner part of the box card with the seat and the engine and also the end covering pieces.  I then trimmed them to fit and glued them on.

I folded the grey tractor card base on the score lines and glued the tab in place.  I then put the tires together.

This photo shows how I put on the extra piece on the insert that goes in the middle of the card.  To complete the card I slipped the insert into the box shape of the tractor and glued the tabs to the sides.

Here is a photo of the card lying flat all ready to be mailed. It fits into a standard A2 Envelope.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita

Tiered Mountain Box Card

There are still a few days before Father’s Day to make a card for your favorite dad.  I used a mountain box card file for a Father’s Day card.  I used some ink to make the background look like a sunset and I added a Happy Father’s Day sentiment. You could also use this card for any occasion for someone that loves the mountains.

You can find the A2 Tiered Box Card Bird Mountain File here in Lori’s SVG shop and here at Silhouette. The tiered mountains are really fun.

Have a great day!

You’re The Best Pop – Tutorial

Hello everybody! Marcia here today. I thought I would do a tutorial on this adorable popcorn box card. I made this Father’s Day Popcorn box card (SVG, Silhouette) for my Dad. I have fond memories as a child of him taking my siblings and I to the movie theater. Now that he is older, I am the one who is taking him out to the movies.

This tutorial is based on Silhouette Studio, but there are parts applicable to all different cutting machines.

After opening the file in Silhouette, you will want to ungroup all the pieces. If there is a printable sentiment, set your print registration marks in the Page Setup Menu. This lets the software detect where your cut lines should be in reference to the printed text. Ungroup the text from the shape surrounding it and move the shape to cut outside of the print registration marks. Select the printer icon to send the text to your printer. After printing, mount the paper in the upper left corner of your mat and load the mat into your Silhouette. Move the shape to cut back around the text. Now select the text and move it away from the shape to cut. Send to Silhouette to cut. Cut the rest of the pieces from whatever desired cardstock or pattern paper you like.

Before assembling the pieces together, I like to ink the edges of some pieces to make them look more dimensional. I selected a yellow and light brown here for inking my popcorn edges.

After inking, assemble the popcorn box and the card inserts. I used pop dots behind some popcorn pieces for added dimension.

Adhere the card inserts to the inside of the popcorn box, placing the popcorn insert in front of the sentiment insert. Use more pop dots to adhere the filmstrip slightly behind the sentiment.

Lori has lots more Father’s Day cards in her shop. Go take a look. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Father’s Day Gift Set

Hello crafty friends! We’ve already celebrated Mother’s Day and now it’s almost time to celebrate Dad! Aimee here with you and my tip for the day is take a minute to look at the svg files you have and see which ones can be matched up. And I also have a small tutorial on putting this adorable new box together for you.

For my Father’s Day Gift set, I’ve used the Box Card Envelope Father’s Day (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette) and Tag Wrap Gift Box (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette). Instead of using the flower that came with the box file I decided I wanted to cut out some additional stars that came with the Father’s Day card file and make a small collage on the box so the two would match. I also used some fabulous papers and stickers from the Little Lumber Jack collection.

The assembly for the Tag Wrap Gift Box is very simple! I started off by cutting my papers and getting my adhesive ready. I wanted to point out that my box piece is upside down in the picture. So make sure when you are adhering the front and back piece to the box panel that the scallops are right side up.

Next thing to do is fold all of your cuts on the dotted lines. Then adhere the tag pieces to the box…scallop side up! Lol!

And then adhere the side tab and the bottom tabs as you would any normal box bottom. Now your box is ready for decorations.

When looking through my stash I found some rope twine that matches perfectly with the wood in the papers! And I added some enamel dots and star stickers to both pieces.

Now all I need to do is buy a gift for my hubby and I’m all set for Father’s Day! Hope this cute set gives you some ideas and inspiration for your Father’s Day gifts! Thanks for stopping by!
