Back to School Book Box Card

Back to School season is here, and I’ve created a fun book-themed card (SVG, Silhouette) that’s perfect for welcoming a new teacher or showing appreciation on meet-the-teacher night. With cheerful layers and an apple accent, it’s a great way to start the school year off right. For extra charm, I added punched stars and hearts to the front. This card is quick to assemble, easy to make, and a wonderful addition to any collection.

Thanks for stopping by today. Let us know if you have any questions.

Flowerpot Box Card Tutorial

Hello! Today, I’m excited to share a step-by-step assembly tutorial for the Box Card Spring Flower Pot 3 (SVG, Silhouette). This card includes several print-and-cut sentiments, and for this project, I’ve chosen the Happy Birthday design. All of the papers come from the Strawberry Fields collection by Echo Park Paper Co. 

First, I inked most of the paper edges and folded all the score lines into valley folds. Next, I adhered the gingham pattern papers to the flowerpot base, which is constructed in two pieces glued end to end. The three inserts feature a total of 10 flowers, with one extra flower for the front of the pot. I didn’t cut out the flower centers from paper, as they are included in the file, and I used enamel dots from my stash for the flower centers.   

The inserts can be a bit tricky to attach due to the slanted shape of the flowerpot. I adhered them to the inside of the second and fourth sections, starting with the left tab of each insert and ensuring they were level with the top of the flowerpot and aligned with the front insert. 

Once all the inserts were secured on the left side, I folded them over and applied glue to the back of each tab. Then, I folded the flowerpot over the glued tabs and added glue to the flowerpot tab before closing it. I also added two strips of gingham paper to form the flowerpot’s rim, adhering them neatly to both the front and back of the card. 


Lastly, I adhered the sentiment and the final flower to the front of the flowerpot.
