Happiness is Homemade Gift Box with Anita

Anita here with a quick and easy tutorial to put together Lori’s Matchbox Drawer Card-Cooking.  You can find this cut file here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Design Store. It is such a cute box and you can fit many little treats in it. It would be a great thank you gift for a good deed done.

First, cut the pieces of the box.  I cut one extra rectangle because I wanted my box top to use the lovely Happiness is Homemade collection from Echo Park Paper.  I also used one of the die cut cardstock pieces from the matching Ephemera kit. I love to bake so this line was made for me.

This piece is for the main box.  Fold it along the score lines and glue it together.  It is easiest to glue the tabs in place first and then glue down the ends as you will see in the photos below.

Here the completed box.

Fold the outer wrap for the box on the score lines and glue the tab to the end of the strip.

 

These are the pieces for the card top.

To make the tab,  fold a 3″ piece of ribbon in half and glue it between the two layers of paper when you glue the inner piece inside the card.

You can see where I put the Die Cut from the Happiness is Homemade Echo Park Collection by Lori.  It’s so cute.

Here is a view of the slide for the box.

And here we have the completed pieces.  This box went together very quickly and Lori has so many different designs for many occasions to choose from.  Lastly, you will embellish your box with the cute baking tools that are part of this cut file.  Hope you have a chance to get creative today.

Hugs,

Anita

Snow, Sparkle and Shine Card with Anita

Anita here,  on this last Monday in January with an A2 Stacking Card Base Snowflake card (here in the Silhouette Store).  Isn’t it just so cute?    I used Lori’s Echo Park line called I Love Winter.  I love how sweet this collection is!    I used some of the  matching brads and a sticker from the collection to finish  my card.

 

I did not pop up my layers but you certainly could to give it some more depth and dimension.

That’s it for me today.  I hope that everyone has a great day and be sure to check out the A2 Stacking Base Card Snowflake as well as so many other wonderful designs when you visit Lori’s SVG Shop or the Silhouette Store.

Hugs,

Anita

A2 Stacking Card Base with Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a quick assembly tutorial for the new stacking card base cards.  I made the snowflake version.  You can really change the look of these cards by changing the colors of the layers.  Try ungrouping the layers in Silhouette Studio and then playing around with the colors.  You can get a preview of your finished card before you cut things out.

Here’s what the layers look like when they are all cut.

Now just glue the layer with the medium size cut outs on the layer with the smallest snowflakes cut outs.  Be careful to apply your glue neatly on the edges so it doesn’t bleed into the cut outs.

The final layer goes on top to give the card this fun three dimensional look.

These cards are pretty on their own…just add a sentiment.  Or add some fun chipboard elements to create a cute winter scene.

// I used paper and stickers from the Echo Park – I Love Winter Collection.
