Box Card Tropical Suitcase 2 Tutorial

Anita here with a fun summer box card that I assembled.  It is Lori’s Box Card Tropical Suitcase 2 (SVG, Silhouette).  I used some of Lori’s Echo Park Paper collections including All About a Girl, Day in the Life No. 2 and Our Little Princess.
 
Here are the steps that I went through to put together this card:
1.  Cut out all the pieces.
2.  Fold all the score lines on the card base and glue the suitcase together.
3.  Glue the backing piece on the suitcase lid.  I thought this would be a great place to write a sentiment.
4.  Take your piece that is labeled as 1 and fold along the score lines at the edge.  Glue the leaves down first and then layer your flowers ending it up with the stamen and set aside.
5.  Move on to piece number 2 which is the flamingo.  Fold the score lines at the edge and glue the black layer, with the whole flamingo body onto piece number 2.  Then add the darker pink layer which shows up on the bird’s back and on its face.  Finish off your flamingo with the light pink top layer of the bird and the white piece near the beak and set aside.
6.  You are now onto the palm tree, piece number 3.  Fold the edge score lines and glue down the trunk first and then the palm leaves.  I used enamel dots for the coconuts but you can use the coconuts that come with the file.
7.  Decorate the outside of your suitcase with the handle and the suitcase edges.  Glue down the edge pieces and finish with the dots included in the file or use enamel dots like I did.  
6.  I like to put the pieces into my card and view them with the card both open and closed to make sure that I am happy with the placement.  This top-view photo shows where I chose to glue my tabs into the suitcase.  I always favor a wet glue when putting these box cards together so that the pieces stay where I want them to.  You can also glue it in and then close the card and press it on a table to make sure that it adheres well.

Here is the card folded flat and ready to be mailed to someone who is off on an adventure this summer.

That’s it for me today.  Be sure to check out all of  Lori’s fun summer cards.

It’s made with one of Lori’s awesome cutting files called Box Card Tropical Suitcase (SVG, Silhouette) and the flamingo, hibiscus and palm tree are perfect for this time of year.

I love all the details on this card … especially on the little blue suitcase. Check out the handle and those tiny corner pieces with the enamel dots. So cute! This card would be perfect for a summer themed party, a birthday, someone who loves flamingos or traveling, or simply telling someone you’re thinkin’ of them!

It looks great sitting on a desk or a counter for a little summertime décor and it folds flat for mailing and storage. I made this with cardstock from my stash and Echo Park’s Endless Summer collection designed by Lori.

Lori has so many amazing cards … I hope you’ll try this one next. Happy crafting!

School Suitcase Favor Box Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here to share a tutorial on how to make the new Suitcase Favor Box (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette). This new cut file is so cute and perfect for so many occasions.

I used the new School Rules to create this sweet little suitcase filled with some goodies for the teacher. It is the perfect size to hold a box of 24 crayons and a gift card. I have a little step by step tutorial for you today to guide you in making one for yourself.

So let’s get started…

  1. Cut out all of the pieces

2. Start assembling the suitcase box

3. Adhere the belly band to the front, top, and bottom


4. Add the suitcase handle with small brads

5. Fold all of the suitcase corner pieces and adhere the full circle piece to make a complete corner

6.  Adhere these corner pieces to the corners of the suitcase box

7. Decorate the tag and use the twine to tie it to the suitcase box

And now you have an adorable little suitcase box to give as a sweet gift that any teacher would just gush over!

Thanks for stopping by today!
