Lemon Slice Card

Hi there crafty friends! Today I am sharing the Shaped Card Lemon (SVG, Silhouette). I like making cards like this in batches. They are quick and easy to assemble and are great for when I need some craft therapy! Cards like this also come in handy when I need to send a quick note to someone. I pulled out all my summers papers and embellishment. Most of the stickers came from the A Slice of Summer sticker book by Echo Park Paper Co. and a few from the Here Comes the Sun sticker book.

I love how bright and cheerful they turned out. Thanks for stopping by today!

Back to School Crayon Box Card Tutorial

Hi there! Are your kids already headed back to school? Mine starts next week and I have nieces and nephews who have already started. Crazy. With school starting soon we also have meet the teacher night and I like to give a card to our new teacher. This year I made the Box Card Crayon Back to School (SVG) card. Here is how I made it.

This box card only has one insert, but I cut two of each of the crayons. The pieces are kind of small but manageable. I used a sticker maker for some of the really small ones and I fine tip glue bottle for everything else. I folded all of the score lines as mountain folds. I inked the outside pieces with like colors and the smaller detail pieces of the crayons I used black ink. 

I glued the crayons in ROYGBV order on the insert and glued the second set of crayons in the reverse order on the inside of the back of the box card (I did this after I glued the box together). I also glued the front details of the crayon box on as well as the sentiment. 

With the crayon box open flat I glued the left tab of the insert onto the left side of the box card lining up the tab up with the inner most score line. I also folded the front of the box card over to help line everything up.

With the box card open flat again I folded the left outside edge tab in and added the glue. Then I added glue to the right-side tab on the insert. The tab should be lined up with the score line on the inside of the box card.

I folded the front of the box card over and held in place while the glued set. Also making sure the everything was lined up correctly.

I glued the second row of crayons in and added a few stickers from the School Rules collection by Echo Park Paper. 

This card turned out so cute. Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Back to School!

Box Card Cherry Carton Assembly

Hi there friends! Have you seen all the new cherry themed projects in Loris's store yet? So darling! Let's make the new Box Card Cherry Carton (SVG, Silhouette). 

I used papers from the Down on the Farm Collection by Echo Park Paper Co. Once I had everything cut out, I inked the edge of the cherries, flower, and decorative panels. I then glued the all the panels and cherries in place. The first insert has four cherries, and the second insert has three. The two tabs on the ends of the box pieces are mountain folds and then glued together creating the box. 

Now to add the inserts. The tabs are valley folds and the glue is applied to the outside of the tab (the side that is going against the inside of the box card). Line up the front of the tabs with the front of the inside of the box and the top of the tabs with the top of the box card. 

Before the glue is dry fold the box card flat making sure it will fold flat all the way.  

I use the same process for the second insert except I line the tabs up to the back of the first insert and the top of the box card.

Glue the sentiment and the flower to the front of the card. 

Now the card is ready to send! Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a cherry good day!

Explosion Box Dinosaur

Hi friends! I'm dropping in today to share a cute card for a dinosaur lover.  This explosion box is fun and gives a little surprise when opened (SVG, Silhouette). I love box cards like this they can serve as a cute shelf sitter and a fun birthday gift. I made this card for a little boy but I also have a niece that loves dinosaurs and this card would be cute made with pinks, purples, and yellows. I used papers from the All Boy collection and Birthday Boy collection by Echo Park Paper.
