5X7 4th Of July Balloons Card Tutorial

The 4th of July is right around the corner.  Lori has some new 4th of July projects in her shop. Today I’m going to share a tutorial for this card (SVG, Silhouette).

The front of the card can either be created by printing or using a sketch pen.  Today I’m going to show the card using the sketch pen.

In Silhouette Studio open your file and ungroup the pieces. Place the front of the card on the mat. Click on Send, to open the Send panel.

Notice above, the cut lines are selected in red. Select the Line panel (available in some version of Studio).

Click on the box to select the No Color selection.  And change the tool to Sketch.

Now we have the red lines set to cut and the no color set to sketch.  We are ready to send to the machine.

Here you see the sketched lines.  I think it looks so cute.

Now cut all the other pieces for the card.

I then used the front piece to lightly trace the balloon outlines onto the card base.  This helps with placing the balloon pieces.  Adhere all the balloon pieces to the card base.

Next, adhere the card front to the card base.

Also, adhere the white star middle pieces and the ribbon.

There is how to make this adorable 4th of July card.  You can also sketch with Cricut software.  Similar steps. Let us know if you sketch this card with your Cricut and share your projects.

Thanks for stopping by!

Father’s Day and the Box Card Cabin

Anita here with a fun Father’s Day card for the active/outdoorsy type of dad.  It is called Box Card Cabin (SVG, Silhouette).  I used some of Lori’s Echo Park Paper collections including Let’s Go Anywhere, Here Comes the Sun and Halloween Party.  There were more pieces to put on the front of the card but I decided to just use the one wood grain piece for the front of my house.

 

 
As always, the beauty of a box card is that it folds flat for mailing.  Be sure to check out all of Lori’s wonderful SVG’s for Father’s Day.

Hugs,

Anita
