Matchbox Drawer Card Baby Tutorial

 Hi everyone! Happy creating…I have a super quick tutorial to share with you today for Lori’s

Matchbox Baby Drawer Card or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.  Just an easy little box and card in one.  You can make it in a matter of minutes as it goes together so quickly.  I used Lori’s new Echo Park Special Delivery Baby Girl collection.  Oh my gosh, if it isn’t precious.

First, cut your pieces in the colors of your choice.  The next two photos show that.

 

 

Then fold on you score lines, adhere your layers of paper.  You can see below where I added scor-tape.
Then simply fold and adhere into the box and cover.  I may have been too busy gabbing at a scrapbook retreat to get all the photos in….but you can watch Lori’s tutorial here.  She saves the day for me!
But here is how this darling little box ends up with all the amazing embellishments from the Sweet Delivery collection!
Little card right on top!

 

So cute!
And that little matchbox drawer to stash a gift card in!  Love!
Thanks for joining us today!

Christmas Penguin Gift Set

Happy Holidays!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share the Christmas Penguin gift set I made using three of Lori’s files: Gift Card Box Penguin (SVG, Silhouette), Christmas Tag Penguin 2 (SVG, Silhouette), and Christmas Card Penguin (SVG, Silhouette).  Lori debut these adorable penguins along with several other cards, tags, and gift boxes a couple of weeks ago, and I knew I had to use them for my holiday gift giving!

I used accents and patterned papers from Lori’s A Lumberjack Christmas collection from Echo Park Paper, Co to make the card and gift card box.  For the card, I used a double-sided patterned paper, which made it a little difficult to write a message inside the card.  I knew I needed a solid colored insert, so I cut an extra card base from white cardstock to serve as the inside layer of the card.  I added a Merry Christmas sticker to the front of the card as well.

For the gift card box, I used a mix of patterned papers along with a chipboard accent.  I was sure how to assemble the top pop-up to the box, but Lori’s tutorial provided all the instruction I needed to finish putting my box together.  I really like that this file contains a gift box as well to hold the entire project when it’s complete. Simply add a ribbon and you’re ready with a gift that’s SUPER CUTE!!

Finally, I created the adorable penguin tag and added a Merry Christmas sticker to the front.  I paired the tag with a buffalo plaid gift bag to complete my gift set.  I think my recipient is going to love the personalized touch!

Well, that’s it for me today!  I’m off to enjoy Christmas Eve with my family. Happy Holidays:)

Until next time,

Michelle

Fall Gift Card Box

It’s a beautiful Fall here in Michigan and I am enjoying every aspect of the gorgeous new place I live.  Lori’s My Favorite Fall collection from Echo Park is just simply perfect, all the pretty colors and Fall elements you need to create with this season.  I needed a fun way to give a gift card and Lori had the perfect new file to create the sweetest little gift card box.  The box is just simply adorable.  You can find the file for the Gift Card Holder here in Silhouette or here in Lori’s SVG shop.  Very quick and easy to put together.  There are just tons of elements to My Favorite Fall and I had so much fun with the new puffy stickers.  They are just too cute.  All the new Echo Park collections have these Puffy Stickers…hooray!

I forgot to take a picture that shows a gift card inside, but you can see just where it goes and then how fun to decorate underneath so that the recipient has a extra little bit of your creativity.  This little box is so versatile that you will be able to adapt and change it for every theme.  A quick and easy project that you will use time and time again.

Thank you for joining us today.  Make sure to stop by Lori’s shop and check out here new files at Silhouette Design Store too.  There is always just a ton of fun waiting for your die cutting machine with her files!
