Box Card Crate Pumpkins

Hey crafters! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a fall card that I made using one of Lori’s fabulous cutting files called Box Card Crate Pumpkins (SVG, Silhouette). It’s perfect for the upcoming autumn season and, with a quick sentiment change … it can be given for lots of different occasions.

Fall Pumpkin Box Card made with a Lori Whitlock cutting file

 

I created this with Echo Park’s I Love Fall Collection designed by Lori. The earthy colors were perfect with rust, orange, green, golden yellow, and brown. 

I embellished the card with some enamel dots and a few really cute stickers from the 12×12 sticker sheet. I just love the little mouse sniffing that big sunflower. So cute!

I used a bunch of beautiful prints from the 6×6 paper pad for all of the pieces except for the crate. I used the 12×12 Autumn Woods print for that.

The card folds flat for sending in an envelope or for storing as a wonderful memento.

 

 

I hope you’re looking forward to the change in seasons. It’s a great time to create new projects with Lori’s amazing cutting files and the I Love Fall Collection. Happy crafting!

Give Thanks Pumpkin Card

Hi, Crafty Friends!! Creative Team Member, Mitsyana Wright, here. It’s a new month and I’m not going to lie, I’m missing Halloween already.  It’s ok, I have lots to look forward to and lots to be thankful for. And speaking of thankful… Today, I’m bringing you this Give Thanks, Pumpkin Card.

Let me show you how I made it…

Here are the supplies you need:

  • Pumpkin Mini Album (here in the Silhouette Store)
  • Give Thanks (here in the Silhouette Store)
  • Patterned Cardstock (Autumn Leaves Stack- DCWV)
  • Xyron Creative Station
  • Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Vintage Photo
  • Hemp Twine
  • Glue Pen

I used Lori Whitlock’s Pumpkin Mini Album to create my card base.

I opened the SVG file using my ecal software.

Then “UNGROUP”ed the holes from that are in the pumpkin base and files.

Then, I cut and pasted the window base onto a new page.

I made a mirror image then slightly had them overlap at the center. Then I highlighted the whole and “WELDED” the two pumpkins together.

Once the welded pumpkins were cut, I used my bone folder to crease my card.

Then I die cut the panel pieces, stem, and accessories that come with the file.

Next, I ran the patterned paper through my Xyron Creative Station Lite. Then I inked up the edges with Tim Holtz’ in Vintage Photo. Then All I simply did was peel and stick! Easy-Peasy!!

I also used Lori Whitlock’s Give Thanks Title for my cards sentiment.

I sized it to fit the pumpkin cover in my ecal software. Then opened a new window and cut and pasted it there.

After cutting these words out, I left them in their negative space and inked the edges. Keeping them in the negative space helps to reduce bends and tears.

I used a glue pen to attached my sentiment onto the front cover.

Then, I  added the leaves and button. I  fastened them together with hemp twine.

I also used a micron pen to add details to the words and swirls for a little definition.

And here is my finished card…

Now, it’s ready to give to someone I am very thankful for…

It’s so hard to choose!! I’m going to have to make more!! There are too many people I am incredibly thankful for! I guess that is a good problem to have!

Hope you all enjoyed my project for today!! See you soon!!

Today for our Friday Feature I have 2 cute jack-o-lantern’s to share with you. Joy used the “Pumpkin Box” for her project. She says

“You can make the bag as big or small as you’d like.  I chose to make them tiny enough to hold a mini candy bar.  This project is perfect for making in multiples!  Think…the whole class or office.  You only need glue to add the pumpkin face, the whole bag is created with some very straightforward folding.  You’re going to LOVE this design! ”

Check out her blog for more info. I love that she did these tiny size.  Thanks Joy, these are adorable and perfect for a tiny treat.
