Time for Pie! A2 Box Card Pumpkin Pie Flowers

 Hi everyone!

The holidays are just around the corner…hard to believe they are sneaking up on us so fast.  I had fun in my little studio creating this adorable box card.  It’s Lori’s A2 pumpkin pie flower box card or you can find it here In the Silhouette Online Design Store.  It’s just too cute with that little crust edge…love it.

I used Lori’s Echo Park I Love Fall collection.  I have used this collection over and over, it is just perfect for everything this time of year.

I adore this little card.  Wouldn’t it be fun to use them as place settings at your Thanksgiving table?!
And wouldn’t it be nice it we all had time for that?!
Happy creating!

3D Envelope Box Flowers Tutorial

Hi there! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the 3D Box Flowers (SVG, Silhouette). Lori has three versions of this cute decor piece. You can find them here. This box would make the perfect gift for anyone that likes to receive a bouquet of flowers with the added bonus of the flower’s not dying!

I was a little stumped about what colors to make my flowers but knew I wanted sunflowers. So for some inspiration I googled sunflower bouquets and found a lot of beautiful options. I settled on blues and lavender. The pattern papers I used come from the Day in the Life No. 2 collection by Echo Park Paper.

All of the flat style flowers have two layers for the petals and most have three layers for the middles. I inked the edges of all of my flowers to give them a little dimension.
For the rolled flowers I used a quilling tool. I like how tight I can get the roll with the tool. I started on the outside edge and rolled all the way to the base of the flower. Once I had the flower rolled, I pulled the tool out and pinched the flower with my thumb and fore finger a slightly loosened the roll, I then added hot glue to the base and pressed the roll into the glue. After the glue was cool and set, I flared the petals with my thumb. I repeated the steps for the other two rolled flowers.
I folded all of the score line into mountain folds, added the decorative papers to the outside of the box, and glued the box pieces together.
I then folded the bottom front flap down, added glue to the two side tabs, and then glue to the back bottom tab and flipped the box up and pushed from the inside to secure the base of the box. I also glued the decorative paper piece to the inside of the box.
The inserts each have two tabs that are a valley fold, I used a bone folder to get a strong fold so that when I added the glue to the tabs it wouldn’t get everywhere while I got the insert lined up. After I got one side lined up and where I wanted I used a small cloths pin to hold the tab in place while worked on the other side. For the first insert I didn’t glue the flowers on before I glued it into the box (this is the easiest way). I used the same process for the second insert except I had the flowers on the insert first which made the process a little more difficult.  Once the inserts were dry, I added the flowers and leaves to the first insert.
The front of the box has a greenery piece with three little flower buds and four circles showing where to glue the remaining flowers down.
I also added some fussy cut butterflies and a pearl to my white flower for a little added embellishment.
I really love how this turned out! Thanks for being here today!

A2 Sliceform Pop Up Card Spring Beautiful Day

I have always meant to make one of the Lori Whitlock sliceform cards, but honestly they looked so intimidating.  Well…. let me tell you, they are really easy to put together! Surprise, surprise. I should have known Lori wouldn’t do that to me! Her files are always top notch.

You can follow her YouTube tutorial HERE. This card was easy to assemble by following her video instructions. 

 
I hope you enjoyed this card and give the sliceform files a go!

Box Card Birdhouse Flowers Tutorial

Hi there friends! Has Spring sprung where you live yet? It has where I live and I’m ready for it. I have loved all the springtime files that are showing up in Loris’s shop and knew I needed to make one. Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Box Card Birdhouse Flowers (SVG, Silhouette).

This card is darling as is, but I needed to put a little spin on it with bees. I used the Bee Happy collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also resized everything to be a little bigger.

 

 

I first glued all of the flowers together. All of the flowers have two layers and a center. I swapped out the paper centers for enamel dots. I then glued all of the flowers onto the green inserts. The middle insert has most of the flowers while the back insert has two flowers. For the first insert I trimmed off the bird and glued on the bee sticker.

Next, I glued on the decor for the birdhouse. (I forgot to take a proper picture) There are two sets of two roof pieces, two rounds for the doorway and a smaller round for decoration. There are also two base pieces for the bottom of the birdhouse and one for a perch. One of the completed roofs and bottom pieces are for the back. The base of the of the box card comes in two pieces that needs to be glued together. Line up the edge of large tab with the side of the house. With the front of the house facing down, I glued the inserts in. Be sure to have the right side of the insert facing you. All of the tabs are valley folds. I added glue to back of the right tab then lined the tab up with the straight edge of the front of the house and the top of the side of the box base. Then lined up the next two inserts up next to the back of the insert in front and the top of the side of the box card. I then carefully folded the inserts over making sure not to bend the leaves of the flowers so that the wrong sides of the inserts are facing up.

 

I had to trim the edges of the left tabs because they were overlapping the tab in front of it a little bit. Then I added glue to all of them and folded the base of the box card over making sure all the small tab lined up correctly. I then added glue to the large tab on the base and folded the back of the card over holding in place until the glue set.

 

I then added a bee sticker to the front on the card and tucked one into the back flowers.

 

 

 

I really like how this one turned out. I hope you all have a happy spring and thanks for being here.
