Hexagon Pop Up Beachball Card Bundle

You can find this card in a Hexagon Pop Up Bundle, or purchase it by itself.

You can buy the single card here (Lori Whitlock, Silhouette)

Here is a tutorial for you today!

Here are some of the working parts glued together and ready to go.

This is the base piece. I creased all the fold lines.

You will add glue to the center of each section and then fold the piece upon itself, matching the two glued parts together.

This is what it will look like from the side.

This is what it will look from the top. There are 3 slots with the largest in the center.

You can insert the pieces numbered 1, 2 and 3 in order to get an idea of what this card will look like but you will need to take out #2 an #3 while dealing with #1-it’s just easier.

Glue the tab of #1 and glue it so it stands straight when folding the base upright.

Fold the first base section, being careful to make sure when you fold it flat, that it will flatten fully.

Here it is flattened.

Insert #2 into the other side base section and glue it flat onto the inside center piece.

Here I am inserting #3 piece. When you fold the second side up make sure your #3 piece is glued up straight and then glue the main side flap together, forming an open square on each side

It looks like this when you set it up. Take note of the little tabs on the bottom of each side.

Add glue to the front and back of each base piece. Here, you will align the long piece, making sure to line up with the bottom of the box and going over each little side tab. The tab on the long piece should secure in the back by adding glue to the last tab. Assure your card will easily flatten. As you stand the card up and push down on the outside frame, it will lock those little side tabs sticking out into the outside frame.

Here you can see what the bottom looks like. Very neat and finished.

Side view. To re-flatten just push on the inside and that will pop out the secured tabs.

All finished! I just adore the little bluebird Lori added to the file!

I hope you enjoyed this card–the hexagon cards really impress people when they pull it out of the envelope!

3D Christmas Tree Favor Box Tutorial

December 15, 2022December 14, 2022

Hi there paper crafting friends! It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the Lori Whitlock blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box (SVG, Silhouette). This adorable little Christmas tree is perfect for gifting and sure to make your recipient smile.

I used my SIlhouette Cameo 4 to cut the pieces for the 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box. I was able to use paper scraps for the majority of the project. In fact, I only used one piece of “new” paper for the entire project. I used a full-size 12×12 piece of cardstock to cut the pieces to make the tree boxes. Although the file showed the pieces in two different colors of green, I made them the same color.

Once all of the pieces were cut, I inked the edges of the patterned paper I used for the tree using Distress Ink. Next, I used my tape gun to adhere the patterned pieces to the top of the outside tree box as shown below. (The outside tree box is the bigger of the two green pieces and has two triangles.) Once I had the patterned paper attached, I folded both tree box pieces along the score lines and added adhesive tape to the tabs. Next, I built the two tree boxes by folding along the score lines and attaching the tabs to close the boxes on three sides.

Next, I used double-sided adhesive tape to stack the three red circles to create the tree skirt base for the 3D Christmas Tree Favor Box. Then, I built the brown tree trunks using the same method as the tree boxes. Once I folded along the score lines and added adhesive, I put the two tree trunks together. The larger of the two serves as the base, so once I finished putting it together, I adhered it to the center of the red circles.

Before adding my decorations to the front of the tree, I used adhesive tape to attach the second, smaller brown box to the base of the inside tree box. Finally, I used the stars from the cut file along with enamel dots to decorate the front of the tree. If you don’t want to use enamel dots, you can always use the circles that come in the cut file instead.
