Box Card Teacup Fall Raccoon Tutorial

Hello friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Box Card Teacup Fall Racoon (SVG, Silhouette). This box card works well for any fall occasion, but I will be using it as a birthday card. 

I used the Firefly collection by Echo Park Paper to cut most of my pieces; I also used some cardstock from my stash. Before I started the assembly I inked the edges of my pieces. The racoon is the only insert in this box card and he comes together pretty easily. I glued the eyes and nose to the face piece, and the inside of the ears were glued to the body piece of the racoon. The tail is separate from the body and will be glued to the back of the insert.

The flowers are all a single layer, except for the middle of the sunflower. There are three circles for the middle of the sunflower, but I lost one and didn't recut the missing circle. 

For the teacup I cut an extra cup piece without the handle to give my cup a two-toned look. I folded the score lines of the box portion of the card as mountain folds and the racoon tabs as valley folds. The racoon insert tabs are glued to the shortest sides of the box. I lined up the tabs of the insert with the score lines and the top of the inside of the box. With one side secure I added glue to the back of the second tab of the insert then folded the box over making sure everything was lined up. Once the tab was secure, I flipped the card over and added glue to the box tab and folded the back of the box over making sure everything was lined up before the glue set. 

I then added glue to the front of the box and lined the bottom edge of the cup with a handle to the bottom edge of the box making sure the corners line up. With my extra decorative cup piece, I glued the raccoon hands and flowers into place and glued it to the front of my card. Then I glued the back piece of the cup to the back of the box. Lastly, I glued the racoon tail to the back of the racoon insert making sure the card would fold flat. I also used a white acrylic pen to give my racoon some highlights. 

I love how this card turned out. It is perfect for a fall birthday. Thanks for stopping by today!

3D Flowerpot Bouquet

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing a tutorial for the 3D Flower Pot Bouquet Daisies (SVG, Silhouette). This flower bouquet would make a perfect hostess gift, birthday gift, or a sweet pick me up for a friend. I used the Stars and Stripes collection by Echo Park Paper Co for a patriotic theme. 

To begin this project, I cut all the flower pieces first so that I could shape the flowers while my Cricut cut the remaining pieces. The flowers have five layers total. Two of the layers make the flower and three for the centers. I used a stylus tool and a foam mat to shape my flowers. This process takes a little time but wasn't complicated. 

For the pot I folded all of the score lines into mountain folds, inked the edges, and glued the decorative panels in place. Two of the sides of the pot have two large tabs each. I added glue to one tab at time and made sure to line everything up with the edge of the pot. I repeated this process for all four corners.   

I then glued into place the four grass panels to the inside of the pot, one on each side. For the inserts I folded all of the tabs into a valley fold and added glue to outside of the tab. I eyeballed this part but I tried to make a sure the number three insert was in the middle of the pot.  There is five inserts total, three for the flowers and two grass inserts. I inserts are numbered which makes gluing them in order easier. 

With all the inserts glued into the pot I folded down the round heads for the flowers and leaves. I glued the leaves on first then glued the flowers on top of that. 

I embellished my pot with a sticker from the collection and added enamel dots to the centers of all of the flowers. 

This was a fun little project and would be cute in any theme. I think my next one is going to be back to school themed, since my kid goes back in three weeks!

Thanks for stopping by.
