La-La Land Crafts - Mini Box Card Tutorial

Hi I am here with a Mini Box Card tutorial for

 La-La Land Crafts 

These great cards will fit all your Mini Marci

size stamps.

So first I cut a template 11 and a quarter by 4 and a quarter inches.

Score a long the centre at 1 3/4 Inches. Then on the long side score

at 3 1/2, 5 1/2, 9 and 11. Cut down the score lines on the top only

to the 1 3/4 inch line. Cut out the 1/4 inch section on the top.

Cut 3 insets 4 x 1 inches and score each end  1/8 of an inch.

Here is my main card cut out.

Cut 3 insets 4 x 1 inches and score each end  2/8 of an inch.

These are my layers for the bottom of the box.

Cut 1 of 3 5/16 x 2 5/16

Cut 2 of  2 5/16 x 1 13/16

Cut 1 of 3 3/16 x 2 3/16

Cut 2 of 2 3/16 x 1 11/16

These are the layers for the top of the box.

Cut 2 of 3 5/16 x 1 9/16

1 13/16 x 1 9/16

Cut 2 1 11/16 x 1 7/16

Cut 2 3 3/16 x 1 7/16

Here they are layered.

Now to pop the inserts in you tape them to the small end

 equal distance apart this will be the inside of your card.

Then join your box then arange your inserts as in the picture

 make sure they are flush with the top of the box.

Then decorate. I have used 

Stamp Set

Happiness is Homemade

Dies

Apron

Ornate Small Border

Fancy Label

Rolling Pin and Whisk

Also on the back of the Card I stuck a piece of white 4 1/4 x 3 1/2 cardstock.
So I could write on or stamp a sentiment. Dont forget it does fold down flat
and fits in a regular size envelope.

This is another one I did with the same box design.

La-La Land Crafts - Easle Card Countdown Calendar

Hi Everyone I am here with a Tutorial for

an Easle Card Countdown Calender for

La-La Land Crafts Inspirational Blog

 Here it is open.

 It closed and folded up.

 This is the front base cut it 51/2" x 111/2"

then score at 23/4", 3", 81/2" and 8/3/4

 This is the Easle cut 12" x 5" then score at 

23/4, 51/2 and 61/2

 So then decorate the front base. I have used 

 Stamp 

Winter Coat Paper Doll Marci

Dies

Daisy (Set of 3)

 Ornate Border Small

 Winter Flowers (Set of 2)

 Fancy Numbers

 Fancy Label

 Loopy Corner

 Photo Elements (Set of 4)

 Scroll Corner

 Double Stitched Hills

 Christmas Hill Border

 Ornate Scroll Flourish

 These tags you can have them countdown for Christmas

and store them in the box or you could just have one

and pop some Chocolates in the box.

 Now for the box this is the bottom I have cut it at

61/2" x 41/4 then scored 1" all the way around.

See in the picture where I have placed the cuts 

then folded and taped to create a box.

 This is the lid of the box. I have cut it at 61/8 x41/4 then

scored 3/4" all the way around. Place the cuts and tape into

a box the same as the base.

You can then decorate the easle base and tape the box

into position as in the photo.

 This the back view and you can see where the easle base attaches 

to the front base.

 When folded the flaps of the front base end up on top

to form the decorative box.

 I then created a belly band 1" wide it depends on how 

highly embellished your card to how long it is.

 Open.

Shut

I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and look forward to seeing 

yours.

Well this week I decided to create an

 Easle Card Countdown Calendar using some inspiration

from pinterest.

 My pale pinks are looking very dark in this photo.

So in the box I have all the Tags so you can count down from 24.

 This is how it looks all folded up with a belly band making its own box.

This is the side view so you can see how it tilts and folds until flat and then

 fold the wings in. You can tilt it forward or backwards it works both ways.

Tutorial Thursday - Exploding Card

Hi I'm  here  with Tutorial Thursday for

  La-La Land Crafts

and today we are creating an Exploding Card. 

They look Amazing with there 3D features

 yet they fold down flat to send in the post.

This is the outside of the card and you will need to cut a piece
of cardstock 5 inches x 12 inches and score on the longside at

5, 10 and 10 3/16.

This is the centre of the Card.  A piece of Cardstock
10 inches x 4 1/4 inchesScore on the long side at
 4, 5 and 6 inches. I inch in from both ends on the 

5 inch score place a cut from the 4 inch score line to the
 6 inch score line. Then on each end of  the 5 inch score
 line measure 1/2  an Inch either side and up the score
 1/2 an inch to make a triangle 

Then cut out the 2 triangles and it will look like this.

Now to do the sides  you need to cut 2 pieces of double
sided paper at 6 x 10 inches

Score at 5 inches along the long side and fold in half with the
 open end facing up. Which ever colour is folded in is the
 colour that will be on the inside of your card.

Then fold the bottom left corner up to the top open edge.

I found it easier to use graph paper with inches on it to make
 scoring straight. So you flip your side piece over as in the picture.

You are going to score starting at the bottom 2, 3, 4, 5 inches across.

Now to start folding open it up and starting from one corner as
 in the picture you are going to make mountains and valleys
 make sure you start with the mountain.

and continue until half way. Then start on the other corner
 and do the same again until the centre.

It should look like this.

The outside of it.

Now to fold it altogether the bottom naturally just folds in.

and will look like this.

Then place tape around as show on both sides on each of your sides.

and tape them to the outside of the card

as shown here. Oooops  I forgot to take the earlier photos so
 there is a difference in the paper colours but still blue.

and the second side as well.

Then tape your centre in making sure not to put tape on the pop up bit.

Then decorate as desired.

I have used

Stamp -  Winter Coat Marci

Dies - Three Christmas Trees, Ornate Border Small,

  Stitched Circles Border, Lamp Post,

 Christmas Hill Border, Christmas Tree, Winter Flowers

I also placed a card on the inside base  cut to 4 x 3 inches and

folded in half and taped down.

Folded up on the outside you can pop a belly band around it to

 hold it shut , ribbon or half velcro dots which I chose. now
 ready to be posted.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and looking forward to seeing
 you all decorate yours up.
