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!

Hello There!  Today I am going to show you this surprise pop up card! It’s quite impressive-even my son was surprised when I opened it up.
You can find the file through the links below:
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!
