A2 Tiered Box Card Tutorial

 Hi there friends! Brandie here with a tutorial on the new A2 Tiered Box Cards. I made the A2 Tiered Bird Mountain (SVG, Silhouette). This snowy mountain card will make a perfect birthday card for my dad who loves the outdoors. 


I cut the box card body out of white cardstock but wanted a blue snowy backdrop for the mountains. So I used some distress oxide inks on the tallest middle panels. I then made all of the folds on the score lines (see picture for fold diagram). Then I assembled the inserts. All of the inserts will have a valley fold on the tabs. I also applied the decorative panels to the outside of the box. Once I was ready to glue the inserts in I applied the glue to the outside of the tab(red side for me). Then lined up the front of the tab to the vertical score line and the diagonal score line of the box.

For the second the third insert I lined the tab up to the tab in front and the diagonal score line of the box. I then folded the tabs all in and applied glue to the backs of the inserts and the tab to close up the box (see picture below on how I applied the glue to avoid gluing the box tab to the inserts). 

Now that the box is assembled I added the background mountain and the snowflakes. 
The green plaid paper is from the My favorite Christmas collection by Echo park Paper Co.  


Thanks for stopping by today! Have a safe and happy New Year!

Christmas Gnome Tags

 Hi there friends! Brandie here with an idea for cute Christmas tags. Handmade Christmas tags make a cute addition to any gift and they are quick craft to help get you in the holiday crafting spirit.   I used the Christmas Gnome Stickers (SVG, Silhouette) and the tag base from Christmas Tag Snowflakes (SVG, Silhouette). I also used a few papers and stickers from the A Lumberjack Christmas Collection by Echo Park Paper Co. 




I hope you enjoy this holiday season and get to do a little crafting! Thanks for stopping by!
