Shaped Box Card Tutorial – Lori Whitlock

Hi everyone! Corri here today sharing a quick assembly tutorial for the new Cupcake Box Card (Silhouette, SVG). The shaped box cards in Lori’s shop are assembled in the same general way as the box cards in this video. The main difference is that the “box” shape is different, but the inserts are done in the same manner. For the Cupcake Box Card I started by cutting the pieces.

First, layer the cupcake pieces on the inserts and add the decorative top layer to the cupcake wrapper.

Next, apply glue to the tab on the cupcake wrapper to form the “box.”

Finally, apply glue to the tabs on the frosting piece inserts and glue them to the interior edges of the box, placing one in front of the other (insert 1 in front). Make sure the tabs on both inserts are facing in the same direction.

These shaped box cards are so cute and they fold flat for mailing! Lori just added a bunch of new ones to the shop so head on over and grab one. They are so fun and easy to put together.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I love all of Lori’s box cards, they are super cute, fold flat to mail and are super easy to put together. I thought I would walk you through the process. It seems like there are a lot of pieces to cut and put together, but they really are simple and are super quick to assemble with adorable results.

This is Lori’s Watering Can Bouquet card, you can find it here in Silhouette or here in Lori’s shop. Super cute and perfect for just about any occasion.

I first opened up the file in the picture below, next I sorted the file by color. I love that Lori designs her files in color, so it is so easy to divide and cut by color. It makes things go so much faster.

After all my pieces were cut, I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and scor-tape is your best friend for these box cards, paper thin and super sticky. First adhere the box of your watering can together and then add then handles and spout to the two pieces with the coordinating slots.

You now should have a shape that looks like the first box below. Now it’s time to add all your embellishments to your layers, which Lori makes it so easy as she numbers them 1, 2, 3. Just layer your embellishments following the pattern and picture from the file. Add scor-tape to each perforated and scored side. I always start with number 1 and then add number 3. Then I know that they are perfectly spaced before I add number 2 in the middle. Run your finger along each side of pieces 1,2,3 to make sure they are really stuck down well. It really is as easy as 1,2,3!
