Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!
I am making the SVGCuts Summer Fair Box Card from their “Summer Box Card” SVG Kit.
Above is the Cricut Design Space screenshot showing the imported pieces. The files import really easy and don’t need resized – remember to attach scorelines and numbers to the pieces! Otherwise they go on different mats – you can check this when you preview your cuts.
Above are the cutout pieces from my AWESOME Cricut Explore. I love this machine!!!
I used Close To My Heart cardstock in these colors:
White Daisy
Poppy
Happy Times Paper Pack (this was a special in May)
Here are the assembled panels. Yeah, so . . . I messed up the ferris wheel (it happens). There’s supposed to be a blue piece on this side of it – I put it on the other side, duh . . . It comes out awesome anyway, you’ll see.
A little trick for adding the pennants is to line the points up first and then the rest of the triangle up to the wide part.
I used the Cricut cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder to emboss the flap panels – above right pic.
I used the CTMH “Holiday Tags” acrylic stamp set and Poppy ink to stamp the sentiment.
Here’s the ferris wheel – the blue piece was supposed to be on the other side of the ferris wheel. So, I added blue gems to both sides – not really sure this was a good idea, it added an awful lot of bulk . . .
The top left pic shows the outside of the assembled box, the top right pic shows the first panel with the stars attached. The bottom left shows the second panel with the tent attached, and the bottom right pic shows the ferris wheel panel attached.
I added the extra stars from the cutouts in various places on the card – one is shown on the left side of the sentiment oval.
Here’s the finished card. Doesn’t it look great? I love making box cards!! The Happy Times paper pack took the guesswork out of choosing paper – works for me!!!!
