A2 Curved Pop Up Card Mother’s Day Tulips

Hi! Ashley here!

Today I’m sharing a curved pop-up card.  You can find these cards in Lori’s Shop and Silhouette Store.

First, cut all the pieces.

 

 

 

You can use print and cut for the sentiment panel.

 
Adhere the panel pieces and the flower pieces.

The sentiment panel goes on the back of the card.

Adhere the flower pot to the smaller card piece.  Adhere that piece to the card.

Adhere the rectangular piece to the front of the card.

There are several curved pop-up cards in Lori’s shop.

Thanks for reading.

Honey Jar Mini Album

Hello, my friends!  Traci here with a fun take on one of Lori’s brand new shaped cards.  I turned it into a mini album (and if you follow me, you know minis are my thing, LOL!). Lori’s adorable new Honey Jar card (SVG, Silhouette) inspired me to turn the card into pages!  Check it out …

 

 
I started with the cutting file base and cut it out 3 times.  Then, instead of folding the pieces along the scoreline for a card, I cut the 2 halves of the card in half along the scoreline and created 6 pages (I actually only used 5 for my album).  

 

 
Once I cut the black base pages, I created an internal offset in my Silhouette software and cut out 10 cute patterns from Lori’s new Bee Happy 6×6 paper pad (Echo Park).  I love how all of the patterns look layered together when the album is fanned out 🙂

 

Lori’s Nested Scallop circles (SVG, Silhouette) make great photo mats!  I just punched a 2.5″ round circle for the patterns inside.

 

Along with the cute scallop mats, I also used stickers and die cuts from Lori’s new Bee Happy collection.  I did trim off the small flowers in the lower left hand of the jar.  

 

 

I hope you like my take on Lori’s adorable Honey Jar card!  Please visit my blog over at Artsy Albums sometime to say hello!  Until next time, happy crafting!!

Graduation Tassel Tutorial

It’s graduation season and you may need a tassel for one of Lori’s many great graduation cards. The card that I’m making a tassel for is Lori’s 5×7 Gate Fold Graduation Card (SVG, Silhouette). Here is how I make them. I start with a yellow-gold color. Of course, you can choose your own color that will coordinate with your graduate’s school colors.

I then cut TWO 6-inch pieces. These pieces will be used to attach the tassel to the card and to assure that the tassel stays together. Set those aside.
Next, I start to wrap the thread through my fingers so that I can hold the end piece securely. This is also when I decide the appropriate length of my tassel for my project. For this project, the tassel is about 4 inches long. make sure to add about half an inch as you will trim the ends to even them up.
Then I wrap the thread around my fingers until I feel like I have enough thread to make a good tassel for my project. For this card, I did about 15 wraps.
Then I tie one of those 6-inch pieces at the top, doubling the thread so that I have 2 3-inch pieces after knotting the the thread. This will be the piece that gets threaded through the card’s hat top.

Then I will add the second 6-inch thread to wrap the threads together. I will tie this in a secure knot. If I feel like the thread isn’t feeling too secure I will put a small dot of super glue on the knot to help secure it.

Then I will cut the bottom thread pieces as well as the tied and knotted threads to evenly trim them up.

To help thread the tassel through the cap, I use some of my favorite liquid glue and add a small dot of glue to the ends and then twist the threads together. Set this aside to dry for a few minutes to make a “needle”.

When the glue is dry, go ahead and thread it through the hole in the cap, knotting the thread on the underside of the cap. I will usually knot it a couple of times to make a big enough knot so that it doesn’t slip through the hole.

This is how the card looks when finished. I love it! Lori makes the best designs. She puts great thought into her products.

Enjoy!
