Valentine Viking Impossible Card

Hi there friends! Lori added some cute new Impossible cards to the shop last week and this cute guy caught my eye. It is the Impossible Card Valentine Viking (SVG, Silhouette). The impossible cards are easy to assemble (see tutorial here) and come together quickly. If gluing isn’t your thing the Viking can be flattened as a print and cut for even faster assembly.

Be sure to go check out all the new valentine projects in the shop (SVG). Thanks for stopping by!

3D House Valentine Heart Tutorial

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, it seems that 2021 it just flying by for me, but I am taking time to create.  Valentine’s Day is always one of my favorite paper crafting holidays.  I think it’s the love of hearts for me and all the fun colors.  Lori has some brand new files in her shop to create your own little village and I started with the 3D Valentine House that you find in Lori’s shop or find it here in the Silhouette Design Store.  It’s a fun little project with super cute results.  So first pick you papers and plan out your design.  I knew I wanted a red heart and I love the texture of this paper.  Plus I knew I wanted a quality card stock for this project. So get started cutting.

Cut out all your pieces.  I always find it easiest to cut by color and Lori makes it so simple with the way she color codes her files.

These two strips of red are the main parts of your house and require the most work.  It’s really pretty easy, don’t let all the little points and score lines scare you.

I folded all the points inward as well as the tabs.  Then I ran the two pieces over the edge of my table a couple of times to give them the curve and make them a little bit easier to work with.  Running then over the edge of the table really makes these two pieces easier to glue along the edge to the heart pieces.

After you work with those two pieces, assemble the front of your house.  Adhere your background to the front.

Then flip it over and adhere the pieces for the front of your house.  Too cute!

Okay, now take a breath and get ready to adhere these two pieces.  It takes a bit of time and patience, but I promise the result is worth it.

Glue the tabs to the inside bottom of your house with a hot glue gun or really strong double sided tape, and then start adding glue along the tabs.  I used a tacky glue, but I highly suggest hot glue for a good grip.  Take you time and glue one side at a time.

Once you get the two pieces adhered to the back side, adhering the top pieces to those little points is pretty easy.  Just take your time and line everything up, this is where that deep breath comes into play.

So you can see here, it’s all adhered…I did have a bit of a glue mess, but it wipes off.  Again, hot glue would’ve made this process easier.

I don’t think my glue dried quick enough, maybe the dampness in the air, again that is why I suggest hot glue.  I was worried it would come unglued. I weighted it down with just a couple of tools and let it dry completely, about an hour.

Then just finish decorating,  That’s the fun part. I added some paper roses, embossed my little tree and a button and twine for the front door.  I added the little truck to my scene.  It’s just too cute and super simple to put together.  You can find it here in Lori’s Shop, and coming soon to the Silhouette Store.  I love my little Heart House and I plan on making the other houses in the set this weekend.  You can find the bundle here in Lori’s Shop.

Happy Valentine’s Day paper crafting!  We can’t wait to see what you create.  There are just so many fun files in Lori’s Shop.  Make sure to check them all out and share with us what you create.
