Pumpkin Favor Box Tutorial
Hello, crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a project for the Lori Whitlock Creative Team. I'm hosting a baby shower for a dear friend, and I needed some favor boxes for the attendees to take home with them. I chose the Pumpkin Favor Box 2 (svg, silhouette) and used the "Special Delivery Baby Girl" collection, designed by Lori for Echo Park. The colors in the collection are perfect for a fall baby shower! I also used some kraft and dusty rose cardstock for the bases. Let me walk you through my process:

First, I uploaded the project into Design Space. I cut enough pieces to make 12 boxes. The first photos show a single set of cut pieces. I numbered the flaps in the order that I would fold them into the box. Then I added strong tape to the flaps as shown below.

I wanted more of an open gift bag feel for the favors, so I decided to fold two of the flaps into the box and adhere. This keeps them out of the way. I inked all of my pieces with brown ink and then began assembly. I used foam adhesive to pop up the center of the pumpkin.
I folded all of the panels and adhered the favor box base. Then I wrapped the rose cardstock belt piece around the base. All that's left is the pumpkin, some cute ribbon and the surprises that will be tucked inside!

The next time you are hosting a party or shower, I hope you'll consider these quick, adorable favor boxes. They can be customized for any occasion. It was also very easy to make bulk quantities. Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Crafting! -- Lindsay

5x7 Shaped Card Flower Cluster
Hello, crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a layout for the Lori Whitlock Creative Team. I created the page by using the 5x7 Shaped Card Flower Cluster (svg,
silhouette). I combined bright, colorful cardstock with the "Here
Comes the Sun" collection, designed by Lori for Echo Park. I am a
layout girl at heart. When I saw the outer offset shape of this card, I just
knew it would be the perfect layered border. Let me show you how I did it!
I started by opening the project in Design Space. I changed
the card height to 6", and the width automatically adjusted. Then I
created a second copy of the entire card. I welded the base card pieces
together, making one 12" piece, and then I sliced off the back panel of
the card. If that sounds too complicated, just cut the card twice, remove the
back panels (on the other side of the fold) and hide the seam. Because I used
striped paper, I could easily camouflage a cut line. Then, I cut all of the
florals 3 times with various colors of coordinating cardstock. Two sets will be
used on the offset card panel, and an additional flower cluster will be used to
accent my photos.
Next, I assembled all of the flowers. I inked the edges and
then used foam adhesive for some of the layers.
Now it's time to add the florals onto the large offset and
create the layout. I used the red grid paper as my background piece. The blue
waves paper is 5"x 12". I added a 1" yellow accent strip before
adhering my floral piece. I added a 5.5"x 8.5" piece of blue waves
paper behind the photos. My photos measure 3"x 4" (2) and 3"x
3". At the corner of the photo piece, I added the third floral cluster. I
finished off the page with some stickers, the title card and enamel dots. I am
so happy with the end result!
Here is a closer look at the beautiful accent border.
I hope this layout has inspired you to think creatively
about all of the files you see on Lori's site. Most can be modified to be
amazing accents on scrapbook layouts. Thanks for stopping by today. Happy
crafting! -- Lindsay

Rectangle Pop Up Card Sports Stand Tutorial
Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay, sharing a pop up card with you today. Father's Day is just around the corner. I wanted to work with one of Lori's newest files called "Rectangle Pop Up Card Sports Stand." I used an Echo Park paper collection, also designed by Lori, called "Dino Mite." The colors were perfect for this masculine card. You can find the file here: svg, silhouette.
Begin by cutting all pieces you will need. I assembled each section of the card, as shown in photo 2. Next, I folded the large brown base pieces and adhered them back to back, as shown in photo 4.
After inserting all 3 pieces into the slots, it's time to close the base piece at the bottom with strong tape. Photo 4 shows a side image of the base once it has been sealed with strong tape.
Now prepare the long belt piece by adding patterned paper and folding all score lines in the same direction. This piece will wrap around to form a box. Add adhesive to the small folded flap to complete the shape.
And now it all comes together! Slide the layered base piece into the completed belt piece. You will add adhesive to the upper middle part of the foam finger pieces and the back side of the popcorn piece. The area from the score line down to the small "feet" will extend below and should not have adhesive on it.
Once the base of the card is secured inside the belt, it's time to open up the piece and reveal the amazing 3d design! The "feet" should fit into the small cuts on either side of the belt piece.
I hope this inspires you to create a pop up card! They are incredible designs that fit together like a die cut puzzle. Click on the picture below, and it will take you right to the file on Lori’s site. Thanks for stopping by the blog today! — Lindsay
