Iris Shutter Card Tutorial

How are you today? Around the world this week, most of us are working and/or staying at home. Guess what, crafters?  It is time to use your stash!  All those items you have been saving–this is it.  This is the time to use it!!  Lori recently released these fun Iris Cards.  She has 2 video tutorials to help you make them.  This video is the first with paper only, and this tutorial uses mini brads.  The cards are available in the Silhouette Design Store individually and in Lori’s SVG Shop individually and in Bundles.

5×7 Iris Shutter Card Bundle
A2 Iris Shutter Card Birthday Bundle

I have made several of these cards, and I just love them.  I’m going to inspire you today with ways you can personalize them.

5×7 Iris Shutter Card Camera: SVG, Silhouette

For this Camera Card, I though it would be so cute to add a picture.  Have you heard of the front porch project?  Photographers that are participating, stop at your house, and take pics of you while staying at least 6 feet away.  This would be a great way to send a pic to a loved one.  To do this in Cricut Design Space:

1. Open the Camera Card File

2. Ungroup the card pieces

3. Draw a circle that is 2.36″ using the shapes tool.

4. Upload a photo, and select your preferred image type option, click continue then save as print then cut image.  Insert this image onto the mat with your circle.

5. Resize your photo to fit the 2.36 circle.

6. Layer the circle on top of the photo.  Make sure the circle doesn’t hang off any edge of the picture.

7. Select both the photo and circle, right mouse click and select slice.

8. Delete the part of the picture you don’t need as well as the circle you drew.

9. Layer the photo over the heart and starburst on the card base.  Once it is lined up, delete the heart and starburst.

10. Select the photo circle and the rectangular white card, and select flatten.

11. Don’t forget to flatten the sentiments as well.

Now print then cut your photo and sentiments and cut all the other pieces of the card to assemble.

 

 

Here are some of the other iris cards that I have made:

5×7 Iris Shutter Card Flower SVG, Silhouette

A2 Iris Shutter Card Birthday Donut  SVG, Silhouette

5×7 Iris Shutter Card Camera: SVG, Silhouette

This one has a foiled heart.  I changed the red heart to black before I printed with my laser printer, then foiled it. These cards are so fun.  Personalize them, and send them off.

Enjoy crafting!

Spring Shaped Cards

Hi there friends! Brandie here sharing some of the new shaped cards for Spring. I made the Frog (SVG, Silhouette), Bee (SVG, Silhouette), and Rose (SVG, Silhouette). You can also find the bundle here (SVG). These little cards are so sweet and would make any recipient smile. I also think these would be a great kids craft. The pieces are easy to assemble and do not need a lot of supplies.

I used two shades of green cardstock and a bubbles embossing folder to give my frog some fun texture.

The patterned paper and stickers are from the Spring Fling collection by Echo Park Paper. I also used a a chevron embossing folder on the yellow sections of the bee.

I got a little fancier with the rose card and turned it into a shaker card. To make the shaker element I used the same technique found in this tutorial by Cathy.  I used various shades of cardstock, a sequin mix, and a Swiss dot embossing folder.

I hope you all have a great day.  Thanks for stopping by and stay safe.
