5 x 7 Flower Truck Box Card Tutorial

Welcome to the  Lori Whitlock Blog!

Today I have  a tutorial for you on assembling this cute 5 x 7 Flower Truck box card.

5 x 7 Box Card Truck Bundle

Let’s start.

Truck Body: Glue on the tires and the front door pieces. I used mirror silver paper for the front bumper and a different matte silver paper for the windows on the front truck piece.  The longer truck piece is the back of the truck. Glue the rectangle piece-this will be the reinforcement piece for the top awning later. 

 
Awning: This awning piece will be glued onto the truck front piece. A little trick to keep the 3 squares centered is to add the thin rectangle into each spot and then glue the back of each square only and insert it and then pick out the thin square piece. You can throw that piece away if you want. 

 
Inserts: Glue up all your little potted flowers. As always, I  cut extra little pieces because no matter what-I always lose some. You can also cut different colors to change things up if you want. Each insert piece is numbered so you know which one goes  in front. FYI it’s the four potted flowers in front. You can see the numbers on the bottom right corner of each insert.
Glue the two end tabs of this piece and add the main front truck piece. Make sure your card folds flat.
Line up the awning piece and glue to the front truck piece and also add the brown panel at the back of the truck.
Here is the truck after those steps. All that is left is to add the flower pot inserts  as you do with any box card, awning support and the sentiment. 

Here you go! The inserts are added (at this point make sure your box card will fold flat). You can see I am getting ready to add the rectangle piece inside the awning   for  support. Glue the rectangle inside to the front and back top awning. All I have to do now is add my print and cut sentiment and it’s done! TIP: if you buy the bundle, print and cut all three sentiments at once and then you will be ready to assemble the other trucks!

 

These are so fun to make-give them a try!

5X7 Pop Up Card St Patricks Day Tutorial

I love a pop-up card and St. Patrick’s Day!  So I had to make Lori’s new pop-up card (SVG, Silhouette).

5X7 Pop Up Card St Patricks Day

Get started by organizing your cuts within your software.  In Silhouette Studio, I organized most the white pieces on a piece that I can print and cut.

On the pieces with the words, make sure to select the piece, and select Cut Edge.  So the words will be printed, then the tag shape will be cut.  You can see in the image all the cut lines are red, and the words are not.  I also select no color for all the lines.  Print this page and it’s ready to cut.

 

Cut out all the other pieces in the colors that you desire.

Next let’s make the front of the card.

When you are building the front, be sure to adhere the wheels and these 2 shamrocks first, then adhere the truck piece.

 

 

Next, adhere the letters to the pop-up portion of the card taking card to keep all adhesive away from the pop-up parts. After they are adhered, carefully fold and pop out the LUCKY.  Be sure to fold on the score lines.

Now time to put all the pieces together.

 

 

That’s it.  I hope you find a pop-up card that you want to make.  Here are some other new ones: Pop-up Cards. If you make one, tag Lori and me (@ashleymhc) so that we can see it!A

Pumpkin Truck Back Box Card

Hello everyone. Marcia here.

Fall is officially here and I will soon be venturing to our local pumpkin patch with the family for some fun activities. For Fall wishes, The Lori Whitlock’s Pumpkin Truck Back Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) is so festive. It reminds me of those trips to the pumpkin patch.

I created my truck from cardstock and added some solid pattern papers from the Echo Park Paper I Love Fall collection. I couldn’t resist adding the little racoon to my truck bed. He was cut from a die cut ephemera piece.
 
I know this card will put a smile on someone’s face! Best of all it folds flat for mailing. Lori has lots of other fun Fall cards in her shop. Go take a look.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.
