A2 Card Envelope Box Tutorial - Lori Whitlock

Hello everyone!  

I have an A2 card storage box tutorial to share with you today.  This A2 Card Envelope Box (SVG, Silhouette) cut file can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of boxes. I used some pretty pattern papers from Lori's new Day In The Life collection as well as coordinating cardstock from my stash..

Let me show you how easy this box is to put together.

1. Choose your papers and cut out two box bottom pieces and two box top pieces. The cut file contains only one of each so be sure to cut everything twice. Adhere the panels to the cardstock base. Using cardstock for the base pieces will ensure a sturdy box.

2.  Working with the bottom of the box first, adhere the two sides of the box together.

3.  Turn the box upside-down and adhere the tabs to the box bottom. Then fold the last flap over the bottom and glue down.

4.  Now let's work on the box top. Adhere the front to the back by gluing the rectangular piece with pattern paper over the same size rectangular piece with no pattern paper.  Fold the sides in making sure the side with pattern paper is on the outside, tucking the tabs in. Adhere the sides and then the tabs.

5.  Place the last rectangular pattern paper piece on the inside of the lid.

6.  There are stamp cut file pieces that you can use to adorn your box making it look like a stamped envelope. I also placed a journal card on the front so I can use that space when gifting my box full of cards to someone. Or if it is just too pretty to give away, to write what kind of cards I have stored inside.

These boxes would be great for storing your Valentines too.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out Lori’s Store for more amazing cut files.

Scrap Room Tour

 Hello everybody!

The design team at My Creative Scrapbook is taking turns showing where they create and today is my turn!

Luckily when Pam asked me to do a YouTube video, I was already months into a scrap room makeover. It started last winter with a closet overhaul where some much needed shelves were added. But then like all home improvement projects it morphed into so much more. We scraped off the popcorn ceilings in the entire house, painted trim and walls, and hung and painted new doors. Then I was ready for phase 2; purging tools and supplies I no longer needed and organizing the rest into a room that is my home office as well. I had piles of boxes to sort through. My room looked like an episode straight out of Hoarders. I added some drawers to my scrapbook desk, a magnetic frame for die storage, and repurposed other things like a quilt rack to hold spools of ribbon. What girl cave would be complete without some special touches like my animal print accessories.

This is what my room looked like before.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
