I Love Fall Circular Pop Up Album

Happy Fall everyone!  It’s my favorite time of year….the colors, the temps, and all that it brings.  I created a fun little mini to showcase it this year with Lori’s Echo Park collection I Love Fall and her Circular Pop Up Card (Silhouette).  I think of it more as a mini album though, I had so much fun making this and Lori also has a tutorial on it.  I will link her tutorial here.

Start by cutting all of your papers, you will need 5 base pieces if you would like it to be like mine, a circular star shape.  Cut 4 pieces if you would like a square.  You will need 10 triangles and 10 squares.

 

Assemble all 5 pieces with the layers of paper, pay attention to which way you pattern goes if using patterned paper.  The little triangles belong on the bottom, that will make it easier for you when adding those patterned papers.  In step 4 you can see how I folded it and added scor tape to the tabbed piece.  Then simply adhere that top triangle to the tabbed piece, push the triangle pieces back inside the card base so it lays flat like a card.  Do this 4 more times with your remaining papers.
Next, you can see I have my five pieces done and I’m ready to assemble it.  I used scor tape again to adhere piece by piece.  You want a strong adhesive for this project.  Put our five pieces in order, make sure they are going the correct direction, the fold in triangles go on the bottom.
In step one you can see how I put my adhesive on my first piece, then add another folded piece on top of that one.  You will do this 4 times…remember you want your book to open so don’t glue the last piece to the first, after adding the layers.  You can see how I left it open in photo 4.  Photos 2 and 3 show then layers as I went along.

 

Now it’s time to embellish.  My favorite.
So I did go back to my Silhouette and cut two more square pieces to add to the front and back cover as I wanted my embellishments to stand out.  One piece of the front cover and one on the back.

 

Then just start creating and playing.  I left one side of every layer blank so that a photo could be added.
Thank you for stopping by!

Flexi Fall Card Bundle

Fall is Here
I made these two cards from the Lori Whitlock Flexi Fall Card Bundle.

If you are making one, you might as well make 2!

For these two cards I used a kraft cardstock for the base and also this wonderful Echo Park Paper’s Fall Fever colorful cardstock. I added another mat piece to the front panels-because that seems to be my thing! 

We are almost out of summer and moving quickly into fall!

Enjoy!

Are you enjoying cooler temperatures yet?  It’s still pretty warm around here, but everyone is ready for some fall colors, weather, sweaters, and treats.  Here is a fun fall themed box card (SVG, Silhouette).

1. First cut all the pieces.

2. Assemble the card front as well as the leaves and flower layer.

3. Assemble the card piece by adhering the glue tab.

4. Add the front card piece to the front, the leaves piece to the middle, and the blank card piece to the back of the card.

This is such a fun card to make. Look for other fall cards in Lori’s shop. Enjoy.

Pumpkin Barrel Box Card

Happy September! Today I am sharing the Box Card Pumpkin Barrel (SVG, Silhouette). This box card is so warm and sweet. I love this time of year and this pumpkin box card fits perfectly. The barrel is a cute twist on the standard box shape. I also added a few stickers from the I Love Fall paper collection by Echo Park Paper. This card is also part of the A2 Box Card Autumn Bundle that you can find here.
Thanks for being here and happy Labor Day!
