This is a fun Halloween cake card creation was designed by Els Schutte, using the Tiered Cake Box Card. I love the dripping frosting edges! A Pearl Pen was used for this effect. There is so much more detail than can be explained. Take a closer look at the picture!

Orchid Card using Simply Crafty SVGs Orchid Box Card SVG.
Hello, Janet here with a new folding box card. It was a treat to make this SVG file for the Orchid Box Card from Simply Crafty SVGS.
This is a quick and easy card to cut and assemble. Sandy’s version is beautiful in pink, but I made just a few little changes to make it more like the lovely white orchids that I have flowing on my window sill today!
Materials I Used:
White Extra Heavyweight Parchment Vellum 220 gsm (about 150 lb.)
Silver Metallic Card
Heavyweight White Glimmer Card
Copic /Alcohol Markers
Geometric Embossing Folder and Embossing Machine
Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive
Dimensional Adhesive Pads
Tonic Ball Embossing Tools
Print & Cut
I used the Print & Cut facility on my Silhouette Cameo to make green coloured stems, leaves and buds, and cut them from thick parchment vellum (less translucent than regular vellum). The secret to perfect print and cut is to add a non-cut margin of colour around the printed shapes, printer’s call this a bleed. You’ll find more Print & Cut projects here.
Adding Dimension to Leaves and Stems
I shaped the buds with a ball embossing tool and layered them onto the stem using a triangular-shaped piece of dimensional foam between. I blended some green alcohol marker around the edges of the leaves and added some stripes along the length before attaching to the base with more dimensional foam to open the slit in each leaf.
Colouring and Shaping Orchid Flowers
The flower parts were also cut from parchment vellum with no colour added (they fit on the same sheet as the Print & Cut stems and leaves). The orchid flower centres were coloured with the Copic marker colours shown in the photo. A Google image search on orchid flowers will provide a host of colouring guides.
The petals, sepals and centres were shaped with the ball tools on a soft surface (I used an old fabric mouse mat).
The individual flowers were assembled from the back forward using strong liquid adhesive. I used the ball tool to hold the parts together until the adhesive had stuck.
Card Assembly
The card base pieces were cut from white cardstock and the pot and panels from metallic silver card. The pot and panels were embossed using an embossing folder. The card assembly was very straightforward, following the PDF instructions included with the SVG file.
The finished card will fold flat to fit into regular envelope. It makes a lovely card suitable for so many different occasions.
Bye for now,

Simply Crafty SVGs Tiered Cake Box Card
Hello Crafters! It is my pleasure to share my Simply Crafty SVGS Design Team project with you. I chose the Tiered Cake Box Card because I absolutely love creating cards. This box card is versatile and could be used for many occasions, such as, birthdays, weddings, and baby showers. I will be using mine as a birthday card. You can find the SVG here: I followed the instructions for this project which are included with all the Simply Crafty SVGS and the instructions come as a PDF format which can be printed. This box card came together rather quickly.
Below the pictures is an assembly process video where I show how I assembled my project. I used Cricut Design Space and my Cricut Explore to cut out my images.
I took full advantage of the print then cut feature in Cricut Design Space for all my patterned images. I inked the edges of all the images with Distress Ink Vintage Photo to create more texture and depth.

Hi! I am here today to share the assembly of an Easter Side by Side Box Card. The card comes with seven different inserts, including the bunny, for multiple celebrations and/or holidays. You can also add your own personalized insert to expand its use.
Here is what I started with, showing all the different papers, stamps, ink, and embellishments used to create the final card. See end of post for complete supply details.
Before cutting the SVG file with my die cutting machine, I created a small sentiment embellishment. I inked a small wood cutout from my crafting arsenal and dabbed on the pink PowderPuff chalk ink. I then stamped “Happy Easter” using with the Close To My Heart stamp and Distress Ink from Ranger. I also chalked the edges of the wood piece with the same purple color.
Since I LOVE embossing folders, I embossed both the top layer of the bunny “peep” and the UTV door with the Cuttlebug Musical Flourish embossing folder. I used the Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles embossing folder to emboss the tires.
Then I pieced together the front panels, tires and bunny insert and completed assembly of the card. I used Cricut glitter cardstock and purple Dollar Tree Rhinestones for the hubcap. I attached the tires with foam adhesive for a dimensional effect. In the end, I also added a couple pearl stones for the bunny eyes.
Voila! A cute Easter card with a stowaway bunny peep, ready to be sent to a special someone! It folds flat to fit within a standard A9 size envelope at 8.5″ wide x 5″ tall. Card is a little shorter than an A9 envelope, but I have never had trouble. If you do not have an A9 size envelope, get our FREE Basic Envelope Set to make one!
Hope you liked this Easter project! I cannot wait to make another for 4th of July!
