Sneak Peek of the New Flexi Cards with Kathy

Hi Everyone it’s Kathy today with one of the new Flexi Cards being released in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop tomorrow, as well as in the Silhouette Store.  I got a chance to play with one of the files a little early!

These cards are so cute and they are so easy to make!  Even better, they can be made for a man or woman depending on the colors you choose!  They also stand up nicely for display, but fold flat for mailing!   I added some flower stickers and an enamel heart to embellish my card, the possibilities are endless.  This Flexi Card Happy Birthday will be in the Lori Whitlock SVG shop tomorrow and is in the Silhouette store here.    There are a number of different sentiments including Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Anniversary, Friend, Thank You and more on their way, so be sure to check them out.  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Pop Up Birthday Cake Card Tutorial with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with a tutorial showing how to fold and assemble the new A2 Pop Up Birthday Cake Card, which is available here in Lori’s SVG Shop and here in the Silhouette Store.

This card is really pretty easy to make,  but I know a lot of people get intimidated by the folding.  I started by cutting my pieces.

Next I started folding the insert or pop up piece.  It’s easiest to start folding from either the very top or very bottom score lines.  That way it’s a little easier to keep track.   I put together this graphic showing which way to fold which lines.   The V means a valley fold, the upside down V means a mountain fold.

Here is what it looks like from the side when it is folded:

And from the front.  I do recommend you go slowly and have a little patience.

Once you have the pop up insert folded, it helps to open and close it a few times to sharpen the folds.  Next step is to add adhesive to the back of the insert.   You want to add adhesive only to the outer parts of the card.  The blue area on the graphic below shows the pop up portion.  You do not want to add any adhesive to those parts.

Once you have the adhesive added, I find it easier to fold the insert and center it onto one side of the card base.  Make sure the outermost side folds are flush with the center crease on the card base.   You can then fold the other side over to adhere, and it should be centered.

Lastly, add the presents with their bows to the front panels beneath the BIRTHDAY letters.  I also added some enamels to the bows for some sparkle!

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

 

Center Box Card with Michelle

One of my favorite reasons to send a card is for no reason at all. An unexpected card is certain to bring a smile. I, Michelle, would like to share a Center Box Card that I made with my Silhouette Cameo and SVG files from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. You can also find the Beautiful Day file at the Silhouette Design Store.

Center Box Card Beautiful Day

Although it wasn’t needed, I made a few slight variations to the design using my Silhouette Designer Edition Software. (which can also be found here at Lori’s shop) This was the first time that I had made one of these cards and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lori has a YouTube Video that shows how to assemble these cards step by step. So easy! I also love that this card is 3-D, yet it lays flat for mailing. I even made my own coordinating envelope, which is a FREE file at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

Thanks for letting me share and I hope that you have a beautiful day!
