LOVE NOTES THANKS A BUNCH BOX CARD | with Kathy

I love fresh flowers, they really brighten up a room. We have a farm stand near us that sells little bunches of flowers in Mason jar vases. They are so fun, and make the perfect gift! When I saw the jar with flowers in the Love Notes Odds & Ends pack, I thought it would make a fun card... flowers that would always be bright and cheery!

I used a combination of Petite Prints and Love Notes Papers for the card. The jar sides are made from transparency material. I finished it off with a little tag from the Kissing Tag Paper and some Doodle Twine. The card folds flat for mailing.

I created an SVG for this card and it is available exclusively in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. Here is a quick tutorial to help you piece it together.

1) Start by cutting the pieces. Glue the jar shapes to the 2 larger transparencies. Add the stems to the smaller transparency. Add the flowers to the top piece and the inside pieces to the jar lid.

2) Fold the base piece as shown. Glue the two sides of the Jar to the base.

3) Add the longer folded strip to the bottom of the jar, making sure it is centered.

4) Add one of the smaller folded strips to the top of the transparency with the stems.

5) Glue the transparency with the stems to the inside of the jar lids as shown. Make sure it is centered.

6) Add the cover to the Jar, gluing in place. Add a little adhesive to the folded strip on the bottom of the card to hold the bottom of the transparency insert.

7) Add the remaining folded strip to the back of the flowers piece and fold out the ends.

8) Glue to the top of the jar lid, centering.

This card can be used for a number of occasions including Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Birthdays and "just because." If you make one, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram, we would love to see your creations! That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
