Box Card Rainbow with Unicorn Tutorial

April 18, 2024April 17, 2024Leave a comment

Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this cute Rainbow Unicorn Box Card with you!

For my card I chose the Box Card Rainbow (SVG, Silhouette). The Rainbow card is cute on its own, but I wanted to add a little touch of magic to my card, so I have also added the Unicorn from the Unicorn Card (SVG, Silhouette).

To start I opened both files on separate pages in Silhouette. I then copied & pasted my unicorn to the page with the Box Card Rainbow. From here I was able to resize the Unicorn to fit with my Rainbow as the original was a lot larger.

I wanted this to be a Birthday card, so I swapped out the sentiment by typing a new one using the Samantha Craft font then I print & cut.

To start I glued the little black piece to the back of Unicorn shape that has the holes cut for the eye & nostril. Then I added more glue & pasted this on top of the solid Unicorn shape.

After cutting all my pieces I glued the coloured panels onto my white corresponding pieces.

I then folded the tabs on my Rainbow shapes. The back & middle pieces I folded to the front. The small one at the front I folded to the back. Next I glued them all into place one at a time starting from the back, by first doing one side then gently folding the card flat as I go to make sure it placed evenly before I glued the tab on the other side.

Then I added some foam squares to the back of the Unicorn & front Rainbow/Cloud & Cloud pieces to get some dimension on the card.

Lastly I adhered the cloud pieces & my Unicorn onto the card & finished off with some Star & Heart enamel stickers to embellish.

The box card folds flat to fit into 5×7 envelope!

I love how this turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Bobble Card Pot of Gold

March 6, 2023March 4, 2023

Anita here with a fun St. Patrick’s Day card called Bobble Card Pot of Gold (SVG, Silhouette). I used Mini Action Wobbles Springs to pop up the pot of gold and it wiggles when you pick it up or shake it. Lori has a tutorial on her site for this type of card and links to get the wobbles. I used some of her Echo Park paper collections including Day in the Life No. 2, Pets, and Our Little Princess. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Easter Rainbow Box Tutorial

March 31, 2022March 30, 2022

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you and I want to share a tutorial today on the 3D Rainbow (Lori’s SVG, Silhouette). And if you know me, then you know I’m always looking at the SVGs and thinking of other holidays/occasions to create the files for. The 3D Rainbow box I have for you today is for Easter but the file was originally created for St. Patrick’s Day. I used the Lori Whitlock Spring Fling and Easter Wishes papers on this project and I think it turned out so very cute! The added flower stickers are from the Easter Stickers (Lori’s SVG, Silhouette).

To start this project, let’s get to cutting out the pieces in the file. While I had the project pulled up in my Silhouette design studio, I changed the colors to get an idea of how I wanted this project to look. I chose softer Easter colors.

Here are the pieces cut out. I used a sturdy piece of white cardstock for the main box piece. If taken care of while storing, these pieces will last over the years! I still decorate my house with Lori Whitlock projects from a few years ago.

Next step is to add the rainbow pieces. I find it easier to adhere these pieces when the box is flat on my desk. To help with lining up the rainbow, I folded the box piece so I could see where the bottom line was. Finish adding all of the pieces and we are ready to move onto the next step.

Next I added the tabbed pieces on to make the rainbow into a box shape. I conditioned the pieces to curve (by running the pieces along the edge of my table) same as the box and then folded the tabbed pieces in.

I found it easiest to adhere the bottom tabs down to the cardstock first.

Tip: Start with adhering the front first because of it being the most viewed side!! I adhered the front first so that I could move the pieces around with my fingers and get it just right. Now add dots of glue to the back side tabs to close the box up.

A little tip I have on keeping the front and back up while the glue is drying is to use little pieces of washi tape. The pieces of washi will come right up without tearing the paper.

After the glue is completely dry (and washi gone) it’s time to have fun decorating your sweet little rainbow!

While working on this project, I was thinking this project would look absolutely adorable on my mantle with my Easter bunnies or on my tiered tray over in the kitchen!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sunshine Box Tutorial

February 18, 2021February 17, 2021

Hi Everyone! Lori has some new Sunshine Boxes in the shop. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to put one of them together. I used the Sunshine Box 2 (SVG, Silhouette)

To start, cut all your pieces on your digital cutter.

These are all the pieces that you have. Ink any edges first, if desired. Next, apply adhesive to the pieces, and start adhering the pieces while the box is flat.
