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.

Box Card Flower Trunk Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Box Card Flower Trunk (SVG, Silhouette).  I used papers from the Day and Life collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also cut a few extra flowers to add to my card to give it a fuller look.

The body of the box card is in two parts that will be glued together. The tabs are all folded in a valley fold. First I inked the edges of all of my pieces then glued the decorative panels to the outside of my trunk. I then assembled the flowers. All of the flowers have two layers. I then glued the flowers to the two inserts. Three of the flowers are on the front insert and two flowers on the back insert. 

For the trunk I added glue to both tabs and made sure to line up the holes on both pieces so that the brads would be fit. I then glued the decorative corner pieces to the trunk and added the brads to all of the holes. Enamel dots would also be cute on the holes if you can't find brads. After I had all the brads in place I glued the back decorative panel into the trunk.

Next I folded the tabs on the inserts in a valley fold and added glue to the back of the tabs. Securing one tab at a time I lined up the edge of the tab with the top of the trunk and held it in place while the glue set. I was also careful to not glue the tab over the back of the brad. I repeat the process for the other side of the insert. With both tabs glued I fold the card flat to check that it will fold flat then repeat the process for the second insert.

With both inserts secure I glued the last flower and stem to the front of the trunk.  I then embellished my trunk with the additional flowers and two butterflies I fussy cut from the collection. 

This card is so pretty and has several sentiments for the back of the card that are included in the file.

Thanks for stopping by today!
