“Just Chicken In” box card tutorial

Happy Thursday my crafty friends. When I saw this cute little chicken card, the A2 Shaped Box Card Chicken, (SVG) it reminded me of soup, and since everyone around me is currently sick with some cootie or another I thought this would be the perfect little project.

First cut all your pieces. As always I have my Cricut write my words on the tag.

Fold your pieces on the score lines

Add your adhesive to these pieces

Glue your beak, wattles and comb to the chicken insert. Don’t put the eye on yet.

I added the insert piece into the box. I put it as close to the front as possiable as I wanted to use it as a box with goodies too.

Once my box was assembled, I added adhesive around  the square part on both the front and back, 1 side as a time.

I put the bowl shaped pieces on the fron and the back.

This is where you will attach the eye. Top left corner of the bowl piece.

I used pop dots to pop the wing (heart) piece on both back and front. Embelished with a little bakers twint on the tag.

I added a soup packet and kleenex as well as some tylonal and cough drops. I did place a piece of packing tape along the bottom to keep my goodies from falling out.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Hippo Belly Box Valentine

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a Valentine idea. I love the belly boxes and Lori has several on her site (SVG). I used the Belly Box Hippo (SVG, Silhouette). To make him more of valentine I used pink papers as accents and added some hearts to the feet. I then filled the belly part with some of my little guy’s favorite candy. I love how he turned out. These little boxes are easy to assemble and don’t have to many pieces. Definitely something that can be mass produced if needed.

Thanks for stopping by!

Witch Hat Handle Box Tutorial

 It’s Halloween crafting time!  My favorite time to create!  These handle boxes of Lori’s are so cute and easy, come together in no time at all.  Four different Halloween designs.  I did the Witch Hat Handle Box in Lori’s Store or you can find it here in the Silhouette Store.

First, cut your pieces and fold them on the score lines.

Then I inked the edges of all my pieces with coordinating ink.
Add scor-tape to the four flaps that you see here and adhere your box together.
Add your witch hat and how cute is that?  Fun for all kinds of little treats!
Thanks for joining us today for this super quick and easy treat box!

Carrot Favor Box with Crate Tutorial

 Anita here with a tutorial on Lori’s Carrot Favor Box. I made this for my niece who is away at college. I filled the boxes with jelly beans and M&M’s. You can find the file here (SVGSilhouette).
Here are the pieces that come with this file:

This shows the items folded on their score lines.

I decided to use a paper crimper to crimp my grass the give it some more fluff in my crate.

This shows the grass in the crate.

This last photo shows all of the items separately before I put them together into the crate.

 

Such a fun and easy project and I know that she will enjoy opening her carrots up to see what treats are inside for me.  Have a great day.
Hugs,
Anita

Turkey Fry Box

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the blog to share the Thanksgiving gratitude box I made using the Fry Box Turkey (SVGSilhouette).  This box creates the cutest little turkey that can be filled with notes and treats.  

When assembled, the Fry Box Turkey measures 4.25×1.5×8.25 when cut at original size, but it can be sized up or down as needed.   It’s super easy to assemble.  Before I assembled the fry box, I adhered all the pieces for the turkey’s face and hat to the fry box base.  Next, I use distress inks to add a little dimension to the feather pieces and then layered them together.  After assembling the box, I added the partial feather insert into the box and used it to line up the main plumage to the back of the box.  I filled the box with little gratitude cards, but you can fill with pretty much anything that fits.  

There are several turkey themed gift boxes available in Lori’s shop if you are looking for some last minute Thanksgiving ideas.  Be sure to check out Lori’s selection of Thanksgiving cut files in the shop.

Until next time,

Michelle, aka the Bookish Designer
