Box Card Barn Flowers

Leave a comment

Hi friends, I hope you’re having a great week! Can you believe this month is almost over?! Leslie here, sharing a tutorial for making a Fall themed barn box card. If you love box cards as much as I do, be sure to check out Lori’s shop because she has some really awesome ones. I used the Box Card Barn Flowers SVG cut file (from the A2 Box Card Autumn Bundle) along with papers from the Pattern Fill Set Autumn Joy for the flowers. So let’s make a box card!

Cut The Pieces

Using your choice of cardstock and patterned paper, cut all the pieces. I used a variety of cardstock in my stash for most of the pieces along with designer papers from Lori’s Pattern Fill Set Autumn Joy for some of the flowers.

Build Front, Back and Inside Panels

Using your choice of adhesive, build all the panels. I prefer wet glue for the ‘wiggle room’ factor. These are the front and back panels:

First insert:

Second (middle) insert:

Third (last) insert:

Assemble The Card

Mountain fold the score lines and adhere the tab on the right side of the front panel to the inside of the back panel.

Starting with the third (last) insert, bend the right-hand tab backwards and adhere it to the inside of the card base just to the right of the score line where you adhered the tab in the last step.

Now come in with the second (middle) insert and glue it just to the right of the third insert. So sorry but I forgot to take a photo of the first insert glued in place (ughhhh), but glue it just to the right of the second insert. They’ll be numbered 3 – 2 – 1 from left to right. The back panel is still on the left and the front panel is still on the right.

Straighten the back panel and fold all three inserts over toward the left. Be sure the bottom edges line up and apply glue to all three left-hand tabs.

Now fold the side portion of the back panel over toward the left, catching the left-hand tabs on the inserts with the glue on them. Next, apply glue to the tab on the side portion and fold the front panel over toward the right to secure.

The card will now look like this.

Now push the folds toward the left to help ‘train’ them to fold in either direction.

This is an overhead view of the assembled card with all three inserts.

And here’s a finished frontal view. I used the draw function on my Cricut to create a fun sentiment which I popped up on foam squares.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing this awesome Fall themed barn box card and you’ve been inspired to make one. They are so much fun!

Scrappy hugs,
Leslie

Bobble Head Santa and Bobble Head Elf Card

Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today!  It’s official, Christmas is less than 2 months away, so today I want to share with you the Bobble Head Santa Card (SVG, Silhouette) & Bobble Head Elf Card (SVG, Silhouette) fom Lori Whitlock !
Once I cut out all my pieces, I embossed the scalloped shaped background with a pretty Flurry of Snowflakes embossing folder. I then lightly run a white ink pad across the top to make the embossed part stand out.

Then, after I put all my Santa & Elf pieces together, I glued them down onto my card bases & used some foam tape underneath the heads to create some dimension.

Ultimate XL Fold Flat Halloween Village Scene

2 Comments

Today I’m sharing a Halloween decor piece that is sitting on my mantel (svg, silhouette). The photos don’t do it justice. It is HUGE! The pieces went together easily, like a fun puzzle. I decided to use Bella Blvd papers and embellishments. I’m going to put fairy lights behind the windows for a fun spooky effect. The best part about the finished village (besides the over the top cuteness!) is that it all folds up. I could tuck it away and use it again next year.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy crafting! –Lindsay

Witch Boot Treat Box

1 Comment

One of my favorite Halloween traditions is making a small treat for my teammates. This year, I created the Witch Boot Treat Box (SVG) and filled it with a popular Halloween candy. Its simple design makes it ideal for adding some playful witchy decorations.

This file includes four box sides, one box bottom, two boot covers, and four boot lace covers. For the box sides and bottom, all tabs are folded in a mountain fold. The box sides are attached side by side, alternating wide and narrow sides, until all four sides are connected. Attach the bottom of the box to its narrow end, then secure the wide side tab to the corresponding wide box side. Once the first tab is secured, move on to the next, gluing the remaining tabs to the bottom of the box.

With the bottom of the box in place, add glue to the final side and close it up. To secure the long tab, use the handle of a paper tool to press from inside the box against the tab.
The straight edge of the boot lace cover lines up with the straight edge at the front of the boot. The boot cover is then attached to one wide side of the box, with the box opening positioned at the top. Follow the same steps for the other side of the boot.
The treat box is now prepped for some witchy charm. I punched holes and threaded ribbon through the front of the boot, added quirky black stars, and topped it off with a trick-or-treat tag (SVG, Silhouette).
This adorable treat box is all set to be filled and shared with my team. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments. Thanks for joining us today!
