Big Box Card Basket Sunflowers

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the Big Box Card Basket Sunflower card (SVG, Silhouette). This basket is much larger than a standard box but still folds flat for easy storing. These basket cards are perfect for a cute display or gift to brighten someone’s day. I used papers from the Farmers Market collection by Echo Park Paper.

This basket has two separate box pieces and three inserts. For my flowers, I used an embossing folder to give the middle of my flowers some more interest. I also inked the edges of the flowers and leaves to add dimension. I also shaped the flower petals to help give the flowers some added volume. For the box I folded all of the score lines into mountain folds and added the decorative panels to each side of the outside of the box. I then glued the two box panels together at the tabs.
Moving on to the inserts; Insert number one has two sunflowers. I glued one small sunflower and one medium sized sunflower and shaped the leaves a little. Insert number two is the basket handle and has two decorative panels that I glued into place. The third insert has three sunflowers; I used two small sunflowers and one medium sunflower then shaped the leaves on this insert as well. I also glued the basket all together forming the box shape.
Next, I glued the inserts into the basket. I folded the tabs into valley folds and added glue to the back side of the tab. I made sure to line up the insert with the top edge of the basket and bumped the front edge of the tab to the inside front of the basket on both sides. Before the glue is set I also folded the basket flat to make sure it would lay flat for storage.
I then repeated the steps for the remaining inserts but lining up the tabs to the insert in front of it instead of the basket front.
To finish the sunflower basket, I glued one of the large flowers to the front of the basket and the last flower I glued to the handle insert. I also added a sticker from the collection.
I love how this project turned out. Thanks for stopping by today!

A2 Box Card Pumpkin Flowers Tutorial

Fall is in the air, cooler crisp mornings and the days are getting shorter.  It’s my very favorite time of the year to create, with all the wonderful Fall and Halloween collections.  I have an easy little tutorial on one of Lori’s new box cards.  They are my all time favorite and I just couldn’t resist this one.  This is the A2 Pumpkin Flower Box that you can find here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.

I used Lori’s Echo Park Collection, I Love Fall!  So cute and amazing little details for my card.

First get all your pieces cute and separated to be able assemble easily.

Next, I fold all of my score lines for the box components.

 

Then I ink all the edges!

 

Now you are all set to assemble and glue all your pieces.

 

Once everything is adhered you can add adhesive to the flaps of the box components
.
Start with the orange piece to form the box.
Next add the piece 2, the easiest way for me to know where to adhere it, is just to have the flaps touch the back of the box and then you know you will have perfect spacing.  So I always start from the back and work my way forward.
Add piece one and have it touch to piece two for perfect placement.
Here it is before I embellished…so cute already but you know I can’t help myself!
And omgosh!  Isn’t it the cutest!?  Love it!
Thanks for joining us today!

A2 Shadow Box Card Fall Sunflowers

Hi there and happy Monday! Today I’m stopping in to share one of the new A2 Shadow Box Cards (SVG Bundle). I made the Fall Sunflower card (SVG, Silhouette). These cards are easy to assemble and have lots of darling details. This card would work well for many occasions. I think it would make the cutest birthday card or simply to brighten someone’s day.  I used papers and a sticker from the I Love Fall collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get a chance to craft a little.
