Nugget Box Tutorial

July 2, 2026July 1, 2026Leave a comment

My cute little neighbor kids always get a little holiday treat from me and so when I saw these nugget boxes (found HERE) I knew thats what they were getting. I did alter my box some so you can see my wrapped nuggets. I cut the wrap/outside of the nugget box in acetate.

First, cut your pieces and get your nuggets.

Fold on the score lines. Below will show you where to add your adhesive. I like Scor-tape for a secure hold. When assembling the box make sure you adhere the tabs inside before folding the edges over or else your tabs will show.

After gluing your tabs, fold the edges over and glue them in place. Below is what your completed nuggest box will look like.

The wrap for the nuggets isn’t on the file but those just need to be cut 1 inch x 3 inches. Add tape to both sides on the same end of the paper and attach it to the nuggest.

The acetate in the following photos is hard to see but essentially just cut the slide part of the file and fold on the score lines. Adhere with strong adhesive on the tab to complete the box.

Slide your nugget box into the acetate sleeve. I added some twine around the box for a little extra love.

I wrapped my nuggets to resemble a flag using paper from Lori’s Echo Park Have A Holly Jolly Christmas and paper by Fancy Pants called Hometown Summer.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

A Basket Full of Strawberry Fields Forever

June 18, 2026June 18, 2026Leave a comment

“Living is easy with eyes closed… “Well, maybe not when you’re trying to choose between all the adorable papers in Lori’s new Strawberry Fields collection! From the sweet gingham patterns to cheerful strawberry prints, this collection instantly transported me to my own little version of Strawberry Fields.

I combined the Strawberry Fields Collection with two of Lori’s adorable files. A charming berry basket that you can find here in the shop and some little strawberry boxes that you can also find here in Lori’s Shop Silhouette. This project perfectly captures that carefree feeling of a sunny summer afternoon.

Start with your basket, this is really simple and comes together in seconds. Cut, ink, fold, and adhesive and adhere together. It is simplicity at it’s best.

Now for the strawberries, these were a bit tricky. I think mostly because I scaled them down about 33% so that I could put quite a few in the basket. I cut 7 strawberries and their tops. I could do four different patterns at a time with the little 6×6 pad that comes in the collection. You can see how they are cut here, then fold on score lines til you have the last shape on the bottom right.

So here we go with how to put these little cuties together. I did have my hot glue gun out just in case I needed it.

1. Start with a strawberry, fold along score lines…there is hole an all 6 tops for your brad. Adhere the 1 st petal edge with the little flap to the 6th petal.

2. Insert a brad through one of the petals and begin shaping your strawberry…you simply pull each petal over the brad and practice patience here…lol, it took me a bit but I got it. All six petals layer over that one little brad.

3. Once you have all your petals overlapped, the strawberry begins to take shape into a little pouch or box. Open the brad prongs now and seal your little strawberry.

I glued my little tops on instead of messing and fighting with that little brad any longer. The added buttons and twine to each one. Adorable.

Now for the fun part. Start embellishing your basket with all the fun elements from the collection.

The Beatles sang about Strawberry Fields Forever and while my version may be made from paper instead of growing in a garden, it has its own kind of magic. Every fold, layer and embellishment are my escape to where creativity blooms.

Thanks for stopping by for my tutorial.

5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Fishing

June 15, 2026June 18, 2026Leave a comment

Happy Monday everyone! With Father’s Day right around the corner, I wanted to show off one of Lori’s amazing Father’s Day cards.

I used the 5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Fishing found HERE. Silhouette

This was such a great card to make and add a few little elements to.

I used dimentionals on the fishing pole and bobber on the front. I also used a glitter pen to draw some stiching on to make my “DAD” pop a little more.

The inside is a nice surprise for the recipient. I added a few enamel dots to the fish to imply a rainbow trout which is what we have a lot of here in the Black Hills.

I hope you try this fun card.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
