Happy Birthday Cards! Tutorial

Hello!  Sue here to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day!
 
For my tutorial today I am making several easy print and cut birthday cards from Lori’s fun birthday card bundles. I want to make them all! 
 

 

This really is a fun card!!!
Here you can see the front pieced element. I chose to cut an additional bottom layer to the packages in pink to make the  presents pop more and give it a bit more reinforcement so I could add it to the front with an action wobbler .  I used  the Lori Whitlock’s  Life is Beautiful 6×6 paper pad.
The inside piece is a print and cut. Fold it in half with the sentiment inside
This part is a bit tricky. Its a mountain/valley  sort of thing LOL! What I did to make it real easy is to fold the center back the other way and then from the back pinch each section to crease them. 
Here you can see how the insert looks when folded and ready to add to the card.
 
Glue one side of the insert inside, making sure you align those 5 small folds right at the cardbase fold line. Add glue to the second side and close the card onto the glued insert.
All glued and ready to go!
Both cards are part of the Fabulous Birthday Card Bundle.
 
You can see all the bundles on Lori’s site.

This was a fun one!
I used Lori Whitlock A Slice of Summer papers for the balloons.
I have made several of these cuties. I cut on six/seven different 6×6 papers and cut ALL the balloons out of each color. Then I’m just playing mixy match for each cards.
Glue the balloons on the back of the print and cut and then flip and glue to the card base. It is very pretty to see in person, it has a nice dimension to it!

80th Birthday Card

Last weekend we got to celebrate the 80th birthday of my fiance’s uncle, Dennis. Perfect oppertunity to make this fun card.

I used the pop up birthday card (SVG, Silhouette). I changed the Happy to a writing image rather than a cut. You know me and those little tiny letters. I used papers from the Echo Park Dino-Mite Collection. 

 

Such a fun bright card. The SVG from Lori’s shop comes with birthdays 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 so it’s a versatile SVG that you can use over and over.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!!

Money Roll Gift Bag Set Tutorial

Happy Thursday everyone! I’m here today to show you how I made this cute birthday money roll gift bag set (SVG, Silhouette).

I always start by making sure I have all my pieces cut

Then I start by assembling the bag by placing the decorative paper on the cardstock. I also put adhesive on the 3 flaps as shown below.

The last flap gets adhered to to the 3rd flap as shown.

I then add the decorative paper to the money roll portion of the project. Adding adhesive as shown.
Make sure not to remove all adhesive strips or you will have a money box with no money. Complete the box by leaving the back side open to get your roll money into it. I taped my bills together using washi tape. Once your money is in the box and the tab is through the slot, fold the ret of the box together and adhere it closed.

The money roll fits perfectly in the little gift bag.

You can decorate the bag however you like. I had this little Doodlepop that looks kinda like our birthday girl so I added a black circle and the little pops. Also tied the bag together with matching ribbon.

What a fun little birthday gift and perfect for a kiddo turning 18. We filled it with $2.00 bills for a little added fun.

Hope you will give this fun project a try. Happy Crafting!
