5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Fishing

Leave a comment

Happy Monday everyone! With Father’s Day right around the corner, I wanted to show off one of Lori’s amazing Father’s Day cards.

I used the 5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Fishing found HERE. Silhouette

This was such a great card to make and add a few little elements to.

I used dimentionals on the fishing pole and bobber on the front. I also used a glitter pen to draw some stiching on to make my “DAD” pop a little more.

The inside is a nice surprise for the recipient. I added a few enamel dots to the fish to imply a rainbow trout which is what we have a lot of here in the Black Hills.

I hope you try this fun card.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Rectangle Pop Up Card Sports Stand Tutorial

1 Comment

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay, sharing a pop up card with you today. Father’s Day is just around the corner. I wanted to work with one of Lori’s newest files called “Rectangle Pop Up Card Sports Stand.” I used an Echo Park paper collection, also designed by Lori, called “Dino Mite.”  The colors were perfect for this masculine card. You can find the file here: svg, silhouette.

Begin by cutting all pieces you will need. I assembled each section of the card, as shown in photo 2. Next, I folded the large brown base pieces and adhered them back to back, as shown in photo 4.

The first photo (below) shows the brown pieces adhered back to back, with the top flaps folded outward. Turn the pieces over to the side with the slots. I inserted the large banner/drink piece into the middle slot (photo 2 below), placing strong tape on the back of the large flap. This is adhered directly to the middle divider inside the card. You will repeat this for the foam finger piece and popcorn piece, placing tape on the small folded flap. Slide it down and adhere to base piece.

After inserting all 3 pieces into the slots, it’s time to close the base piece at the bottom with strong tape. Photo 4 shows a side image of the base once it has been sealed with strong tape.

Now prepare the long belt piece by adding patterned paper and folding all score lines in the same direction. This piece will wrap around to form a box. Add adhesive to the small folded flap to complete the shape.

And now it all comes together! Slide the layered base piece into the completed belt piece. You will add adhesive to the upper middle part of the foam finger pieces and the back side of the popcorn piece. The area from the score line down to the small “feet” will extend below and should not have adhesive on it.

Once the base of the card is secured inside the belt, it’s time to open up the piece and reveal the amazing 3d design! The “feet” should fit into the small cuts on either side of the belt piece.

I hope this inspires you to create a pop up card! They are incredible designs that fit together like a die cut puzzle. Click on the picture below, and it will take you right to the file on Lori’s site. Thanks for stopping by the blog today! — Lindsay

 

3D Rainbow Bouquet

2 Comments
Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today to share another card from the gorgeous 3D Flowers Bouquet 3 release from Lori Whitlock called 3D Rainbow Bouquet (SVG), (Silhouette).
I used foam squares to raise my flowers. I embossed 1 of the vase panels with a pretty swirl & heart embossing folder. I decided to add a cute little unicorn to my card so I used one of the unicorns from Doodlebug Design’s Fairy Tales Collection (SVG), (Silhouette). Lastly I embellished with some sprinkles & added my sticker from the coordinating Doodlebug Design Fary Tales Sticker Sheet.
The bouquet also comes with a coordinating bouquet envelope wrapper & a cute little matching mini card.
For more value make sure you check out the rest of the elegant 3D Flower Bouquet Bundle 3 here.

3D Graduation Bouquet Tutorial

1 Comment

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay, sharing a fun graduation project with you today. My oldest daughter graduated this past weekend, and we have been on the grad party circuit as we celebrate with her friends. It’s so fun to see how each party is uniquely decorated. We’ve also handed out a lot of cards and gifts at each stop. This project makes a beautiful centerpiece or card for that special graduate. The file is called “3D Graduation Bouquet,” and it includes the flowers, envelope, and a mini greeting card (svg, silhouette).

After I uploaded the file into Design Space, I decided to change the flowers to blue and yellow. All of the flower centers are white. This fits with the color scheme for the college that my daughter will be attending in the fall.

I began by assembling each layer. I used foam adhesive for extra dimension on the bow, flower centers and grad hat. I also popped up the top green layer for each floral bundle.

Next I shifted my focus to the white folding mechanism. This piece helps the bouquet flatten into an envelope, and it also uses a kickstand to keep the bouquet open and standing–perfect for a centerpiece! I used strong tape to hold the pieces together.   

Moving right along, I folded the piece that extends down from the long white strip. I refer to this piece as the kickstand. You will basically accordion fold the tabs until you have one sturdy piece.

Now it’s time to fold the larger part of the white mechanism and attach it to the blue vase/flower pot base pieces. The kickstand will be even with the bottom of the blue base, but it is not adhered.

Finally, it all comes together! I added adhesive to one set of the blue tabs, connecting the front and back tabs. I also added adhesive to the front of the smaller floral cluster and the back of the larger floral cluster. These get adhered to the front and back of the white X piece, which is now sandwiched between the blue vase.

I hope this inspires you to create a bouquet card or centerpiece today! This file truly has a wow factor when it is assembled! Click on the picture below, and it will take you right to the file on Lori’s site. Thanks for stopping by the blog today! — Lindsay
