Telescoping Card Tutorial by Tya

Hi there – Tya here and I am up on the blog today to give you a tutorial on how to put together this amazing card. It is called a Telescoping Card and it is such a fun, interactive card that I know will be sure to impress! The card measures about 5 inches and would be great for a card, or scrapbook layout or mini album feature.

So the fun thing about this card is that it starts out looking like a normal, round shaped card. But with the help of a couple of mini brads – this card swings out and makes a 3 layered card. Isn’t it awesome!! Let me walk you through how I put this together.

Step 1-

Cut out your shapes. I used my Silhouette Cameo. The file I used is called a Circle Telescope Card.

Notice the little holes cut from the shapes- these are important so make sure they cut out all the way.

Step 2 –

Place the white cardstock onto the bases.

 Step 3-

Decorate the card fronts. I used Lori’s Little Man collection for Echo Park.

 

 

Step 4-

We will start building from the bottom up. Flip the middle section upside down and lay it on top of the bottom section. There a tiny holes that you simply line up, and place a mini brad in.

 Attach the brad and spin the middle section right side up.

Step 5-

Flip the top section upside down, and place on top of middle section. The middle section has a tiny hole on the top and the bottom. Add a mini brad to the top hole.

 Spin the card so the top section is facing the right way.

Here is the card all put together with the mini brads holding the sections together.

 And that’s all there is to it! I had a lot of  fun making this card and I know you will too! Hopefully I have inspired you to give this fun card a try! Thanks for stopping by today!

Flower Gift Bag with Corri

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing my take on Lori’s Curved Flap Ribbon Tie Favor Bag.  

I cut the bag from a sheet of striped paper from the Jack & Jill Collection that Lori designed for Echo Park.  I added one of the beautiful new 3D flowers (3D Flower 9).  This gift bag is the perfect size to hold a few treats or a small gift.

Be sure to check out all the beautiful new flower varieties that Lori recently added to the SHOP.

A Birthday Pop Up Card

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!  Cathy here with you today and have a Birthday Pop Up card to share using Lori’s new Echo Park Little Man Collection.  Bright colors, fun patterns  and full of all kinds of fun for your little man.  I created this card for my grandson’s 5th birthday!  I will be scrapping his party pics with this collection, too.

There are lots of different pop up cards in Lori’s Shop.  I chose the A2 Birthday Pop Dot card, these cards are so easy to make.  Lori has all of the files color coded, so just follow along and then just add pop dots.  They really go together in just a matter of minutes, have amazing dimension and are a delight for the recipient.  After I had it all layered together I added some fun stickers from the Little Man collection and a bit of twine.  Make sure to stop by Lori’s shop to check out all the Pop Dot cards and all of the new fun files added this week.

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!
