Pop Up Birthday Card with Kathy

Hi Everyone, and Happy New Year!!  It’s Kathy today with one of Lori’s fun Pop Up Cards.  Around here, there are a lot of birthdays early in the year, so I thought I should get ahead and make some cards!! (instead of running to the store last-minute to buy a card….I’ll admit, it has happened a few times…)

I used Lori’s Pop Up Birthday Card file (here in the Silhouette Store) and some papers from her new Echo Park Collection, Little Man.  The colors are so bright and cheery, they were perfect for a Birthday card… take a peek…

I changed the file slightly by deleting the stars in the background.  I thought it would be fun to use her star paper in their place.  A hint when making this card… the folds can be daunting, but it’s easier if you start at the bottom.  You know that all of those folds go the same direction.  Fold all of the first folds the way they are supposed to go, then work your way through the rest of the folds… every other fold goes the same direction.  The best thing about this card, besides how cute it is, is that it folds nicely and fits into an A2 Envelope!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Swing Through Assembly Tutorial with Corri

Hi everyone! Corri here today sharing an assembly tutuorial for the new swing through cards. These cards feature a cool swing through motion when opened….your friends and family would love to receive one.

When you cut the file this is what you will have.

I decided to cut an extra one of the red panels so I could have a different pattern paper on the front of my card.

First, apply your panels to the interior of the card.

 Apply the tree cut outs to the interior of the card.  Everything is laying flat on your desk right now.  Do not twist anything yet.

Next, apply the panel on the front of your card.  You’ll notice you can’t see the die cut tree that you adhered.

Now you’re ready to flip your trees.  You can see that they are scored.  With your card open flip the tree on the left side of the card to the left.

Flip the tree on the right to the right.

There is small glue tab on the left side tree.  Fold on the score line and apply glue.   Adhere the tab to the back side of tree on the right.

There you have it! Such a fun and interactive card!

Fun with Pop Dots

Hi everybody!  Cathy here with you today and I have one of Lori’s new pop dot cards to share with you.  They are so much fun and have amazing dimension.  Lori has created so many fun little details to all of these cards.

I used the A2 Winter City Pop Dot Card.  Simply a gorgeous winter scene!  All you have to do is cut each layer and pop dot each layer.  Easy peasy!  Theses incredible little works of art go together in no time at all.  This card will be a delight for the recipient and treasured this holiday season.

I added a few more embellishments to my card with Lori’s Echo Park The Story of Christmas collection.  The border sticker, brad and chipboard snowflake are all part of The Story of Christmas collection.

There are so many of these pop dot cards to choose from or buy them all!  It’s so hard to pick a favorite.  You can check them all out here!

Thanks for joining us today!

Slider Window Card – Assembly Tutorial

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a quick assembly tutuorial for the new Slider Window cards.

I used the Story of Fall Collection from Echo Park to make the turkey version of this card.  The card has a tab that you pull to reveal your sentiment.  They are so fun!

Here’s how to put them together.  When you cut out the card you will have these pieces.

The first step is assemble your turkey.  Next apply the mat (orange layer) to the card base (brown layer).

Next, apply your sentiment panel to the front of the card.  Use the window panel (wood grain) to line it up before gluing in place.

Apply adhesive to the outer edges of the window panel and glue down.  You don’t want adhesive too close to the window so your slider (floral piece) can slide freely up and down.

Finally, side the slider all the way down into the window, covering your sentiment area.  The window panel has a perforated edge on the bottom, fold that up and apply a strip of adhesive to the back side.  Press down firmly to adhere that strip only to the slider panel. When you pull up on the tab, you will have a pop up area to attach your turkey to.

Such a fun interactive card!  Anyone would love to receive this!
