5×7 Box Card Birthday Present Balloon

Hi friends! Popping in to share one of the new Birthday Box cards that are in Lori’s shop. I made the 5×7 Box Card Birthday Present Balloon card (SVG, Silhouette). This card is also a part of the Fabulous Birthday Card Bundle (SVG).

I used the Birthday Girl collection by Echo Park Paper. I love how easy it is to change the look of the card with just the papers.

 

This card is definitely worth having in your collection. Thanks for stopping by today!

Birthday Presents Wish Pop-up Card Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I have a tutorial to share with you today for the A2 Birthday Presents Wish Card (SVG, Silhouette). This cut file can be found in Lori’s store along with some new 5×7 Pop-up cards with the same inside blocks that pop up when the card is opened. I used pattern papers from Lori’s Birthday Boy collection as well as coordinating cardstock from my stash. The front of the card looks like any normal card. I added a few die-cut ephemera to go along with the birthday presents from the cut file.

When the card is opened, The blocks with the word WISH pop out.

Let me show you how this card is assembled.

1. Choose your papers and cut all pieces out. I used the Silhouette print and cut feature to get the sentiment Sending you a Birthday printed on my white Neenah cardstock. I like to ink the edges of some of my pieces especially if the paper has a white core. Inking the edges also adds depth.

2. Let’s assemble the inside of the card first. Adhere your colored squares between the cut lines. Fold the big squares out and the thinner base of the card in. Using a bone folder to get a good crease really helps. Fold the card base in half on the scored line as well.

 

 

 

3. With the white cardstock folded in half, line it up with the scored line on the card base. I find it easier to glue half of the white cardstock to the card base at a time.

4. Apply glue to the white cardstock and fold the card closed. Flip the card base over and repeat adhering the other side to the card base.

5. Assemble the birthday presents for the front of the card. Adhere the front panel to the card base. Use the birthday presents alone, or add other fun birthday die-cut ephemera.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out Lori’s Store for more amazing cut files.

Memorydex Cards

Memorydex Cards have really made a comeback this year in the scrapping world, so I thought I would join in and create a bit.  I used Lori’s new Echo Park collection Life Is Beautiful.  Beautiful patterned papers, tons of embellishments, including puffy stickers. It was so much fun to play with this beautiful collection.  I added my cards to a Heidi Swapp Memory Dex Spinner but Lori has a super cute Memory Dex box you can make, you can find it here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Store.

My first set is the Memory Dex Scalloped Cards or here in the Silhouette Store.  I added some stitching, lots of layers and lots of embellishments from the Life is Beautiful Collection.
Next are the Memorydex Envelopes or here in the Silhouette Store, again stitching and stuffed with embellishments…oh so much fun!
And one more set, Memorydex Foldover Cards or here in the Silhouette Store.  There is also a bit of stitching on these and layered up with all the goodies.  I had so much fun creating all of these.  They are fast and fun.  I can see why they are making a comeback.  I hope you give them a try.

Hexagon Pop Up Card Easter Bunny Tutorial

Hi friends. Time for Tutorial Thursday. Today I’m sharing a tutorial for the Hexagon Pop up Card Easter Bunny (SVG, Silhouette).

Let’s get started by cutting out all the pieces.

These pieces are for the base of the card.

Adhere the panels to the long piece.

Adhere the two eggs to this piece labeled 1.

These are all the pieces for the number 2 piece.

Layer and adhere all these pieces onto this bunny layer.  Notice that you will layer the egg first, then the arms, then the feet pieces.

Adhere the eggs to piece 3.  You will notice later that the middle egg is mostly hidden.  So keep that in mind in choosing the colors for these three eggs.

Here are the three pieces all prepared for the card.

Let’s work on the base now.  My paper is double-sided with two colors.  I want the blueish color to end up on the outside.  Fold this piece in half and adhere the middle section.  I’m adhering the blue sides together. Fold all the creases toward the pink side.

Now take piece 2 and slide it into the middle slot of the base. From the underside, adhere the back of piece 2 to the middle of the base.

Now insert Piece 1 into the front slot of the base.  You can now see that Piece 2 is flat against the middle of the base. Adhere the tab of Piece 1 to the bottom of the base.

With both Piece 1 and Piece 2 in place, we are ready to adhere this side of the base. Adhere the glue tab to the front flap of the base.

Slide Piece 3 into the back slot of the base behind the bunny. Adhere the piece 3 glue tab onto the base. And adhere the glue tab to the back flap of the base.

From this view, you can see how the pieces slide into the base and the glue tabs at the bottom of the base.

We have our bunny layered part ready.  Adhere the glue tab on the Happy Easter piece.

Slide the Happy Easter piece onto the bunny part. Notice the little tabs on the bunny piece will slide into the slits of the Happy Easter piece.

Now flatten the bunny card part, by gently pushing the bunny part down.  Place adhesive on the front rectangle part of the base.  Slide the Happy Easter part onto the adhesive, and line it up, and adhere.

Turn the card over and place adhesive on the back rectangle as well. This one is a little trickier to get. Make sure you don’t get any adhesive on the bottom of the base. Press and adhere.

Here it is all assembled.

This is what it looks like when it is flat.

There are many cards in this hexagon style. Check out these other hexagon Easter cards in the shop.

Thanks for stopping by!
