Box Card Flower Trunk Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Box Card Flower Trunk (SVG, Silhouette).  I used papers from the Day and Life collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also cut a few extra flowers to add to my card to give it a fuller look.

The body of the box card is in two parts that will be glued together. The tabs are all folded in a valley fold. First, I inked the edges of all of my pieces then glued the decorative panels to the outside of my trunk. I then assembled the flowers. All of the flowers have two layers. I then glued the flowers to the two inserts. Three of the flowers are on the front insert and two flowers on the back insert.

For the trunk I added glue to both tabs and made sure to line up the holes on both pieces so that the brads would be fit. I then glued the decorative corner pieces to the trunk and added the brads to all of the holes. Enamel dots would also be cute on the holes if you can’t find brads. After I had all the brads in place I glued the back decorative panel into the trunk.

Next, I folded the tabs on the inserts in a valley fold and added glue to the back of the tabs. Securing one tab at a time I lined up the edge of the tab with the top of the trunk and held it in place while the glue set. I was also careful to not glue the tab over the back of the brad. I repeat the process for the other side of the insert. With both tabs glued I fold the card flat to check that it will fold flat then repeat the process for the second insert.

With both inserts secure I glued the last flower and stem to the front of the trunk.  I then embellished my trunk with the additional flowers and two butterflies I fussy cut from the collection.

This card is so pretty and has several sentiments for the back of the card that are included in the file.

Box Card Spring Flower Pot Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a quick assembly tutorial for one of the new Flowerpot box cards. I used the Box Card Spring Flower Pot file (SVG, Silhouette). This file is so bright and cheerful. It has several print and cut sentiments so that it can be used for any occasion. I used the Happy Birthday sentiment, and the papers are from the Our Happy Place paper collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

The box part of this card comes in two separate sections with two decretive panels on each. These two sections are glued together side by side. It also has two rim pieces that will be glued on the front and back of the card. The rim pieces hang over the edge of the pot a little so be sure not to add glue all the way to the edge of the paper. I glued the pot all together forming the square before adding the inserts this time as well.

Before the inserts are added to the box card the flowers need to be assembled. All of the flowers have multiple layers for added dimension. The file does come with centers for the flowers, but I used enamel dots for mine. After all of the flowers are assembled I added them to the inserts. Inserts one and two are the only ones with flowers. The third insert is plain green.

The tabs on all of the inserts are folded into valley folds and glue added to the backs of the tabs. I held the tabs folded down and slid the insert into the box, made sure the top of the tabs was flush with the top of box and front of the tabs was flush with the front of the box. After I had the tabs lined up, I folded the box card flat in both directions to make sure everything would lay flat. I then added the remaining inserts the same way but using the insert in front as the guide.

With the inserts all in place I then glued the flower and sentiment to the front of the box.

I love how versatile this box card can be. I hope you give it a try. Thanks for stopping by today!
