Box Card Tackle Box Tutorial

Hi Everyone! Today I have an Anniversary version of Lori’s Father’s Day Box Card Tackle Box (SVG, Silhouette). My husband is a big fisherman. I thought it would be cute to swap out the Happy Father’s Day sentiment that comes with the card, with a funny anniversary sentiment. Our anniversary is still a bit away, but I’ll be all set with a card! Take a peek…

This card looks complicated, but it’s really just a shaped box card. I outlined below how to assemble it. There are a lot of little pieces, so if you forget where one goes, remember, you can always reload the cut file into your cutting software, Lori groups the pieces together as they go in the final project. I started by cutting all of my pieces. The next few photos show the pieces, and where they go on the different inserts.

The base of the card has pieces glued to both sides. This is the “outside” of the tackle box…

And here is the inside.. (my paper was green on one side and orange on the inside)

Once you have the card base and the inserts assembled, it’s time to assemble the whole card. I started with the first insert (shown below) This piece is attached right behind the front of the card. I used some foam tape to give it a bit of dimension.

Once I had the first insert attached to the inside front, I added adhesive to the glue tabs on the card base and folded to form the “box.”

Next, I added the 2nd insert. This insert is added just to the top “drawer”. Add adhesive to the tabs, then position it about halfway in the top section of the base and press the tabs to secure.

All that is left is to decorate the outside of the card. I added the gray strips to both sides of the box to look like the hinges.

And finally I added the bucket of fish to the front of the tackle box. I used foam tape here as well.

Finally I added the sentiment I created.

Now I hope I remember to give him the card when our anniversary does come around!! And don’t forget, this card along with all SVGs in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop are on sale through Saturday! Be sure to use code JUL2021 at checkout to get 30% off your order!
