Grad Cap Card Tutorial

 

Anita here with a tutorial for assembling Lori's A2 Grad Cap Card (SVG, Silhouette).  I also used a tutorial that one of my fellow Creative Team Members created to make the tassel for my card.  You can find Teri's tutorial here.  Below are the pieces that you will need to cut out to make this card.

This is the card base and you will be closing the card by gluing on the tabs.

Next, we will fold the inner part of the card that makes the sentiment card base and grad hat shape.  You will want to flip your card over and fold across the score lines as shown below.

Flip the card back over with the right side facing up and fold on the diagonal score lines.  I did one fold to the left and then the next diagonal score line was folded to the right.

Once you have your card folded it should look like the card below.

I glued the tassel with a wet adhesive to make sure that it would stay in place.

Here is what the card insert looks like with the grad cap topper on the base and a brad through the holes.

Here is a photo of the pieces of the card pieces together and you are now ready to insert the card base into the envelope pocket.

That's it for me today.  Be sure to check out all of Lori's graduation cards.

Garden Box Card

 

   Anita here with a fun post on this April morning.  Do you have a gardener in your life who is getting excited that it is spring?  Well, I do, so I assembled Lori's Garden Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) and used another of her box cards to have the pieces for the sentiment so that I could personalize it.  I used A2 Box Card Home (SVG, Silhouette).  I also used Lori's brand new Echo Park Paper collections called Bee Happy.  It is so fun and I also used Endless Summer which was an Echo Park Paper collection of hers from last summer.  I will be folding this card flat for mailing and sending it off to a special lad.

That's it for me today.  Thanks for looking and be sure to check out Lori's shop for all your spring and summer paper crafting needs.

Carrot Favor Box Tutorial

 Anita here with a tutorial on Lori's Carrot Favor Box.  I made this for my niece who is away at college.  I filled the boxes with jelly beans and M&M's.  You can find the file here (SVG, Silhouette).

Here are the pieces that come with this file:

This shows the items folded on their score lines.

I decided to use a paper crimper to crimp my grass the give it some more fluff in my crate.

This shows the grass in the crate.

This last photo shows all of the items separately before I put them together into the crate.

Such a fun and easy project and I now that she will enjoy opening her carrots up to see what treats are inside for me.  Have a great day.

November Lori Whitlock Creative Team Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the November Lori Whitlock Creative Team Blog Hop.  You should have come here from Traci Matthew Penrod's blog and will next be going to Brandie Harding Adams' blog.  My grandson became a big brother a few days ago and he is crazy for cars and trucks.  I found this truck which looks just like the one that my son drives.  I used Lori's font called Fun (SVG, Silhouette)  and vinyl.  I put Henry's name on the drivers door as he is the big brother and Charlie's name on the passenger door.  Big brother went on the hood and the year that Henry became a big brother went on the roof.  Can't wait to give it to him.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Box Card Tractor Tutorial

Anita here with a fun card tutorial to put together Lori's Box Card Tractor (SVG, Silhouette).  I made this for my grandson and used John Deere type colors as my inspiration.

Here are the pieces that I cut.  Because I wanted my tractor to be yellow and green I cut extra pieces of the inner part of the box card with the seat and the engine and also the end covering pieces.  I then trimmed them to fit and glued them on.

 I folded the grey tractor card base on the score lines and glued the tab in place.  I then put the tires together.

This photo shows how I put on the extra piece on the insert that goes in the middle of the card.

Here is a photo of the card lying flat all ready to be mailed off.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,
