NEW Valentine Cards + 30% OFF sale!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! This week I designed 10 new Valentine cards in the new 5×7 Grid Pop Up Card style. This card style is so easy to put together because it doesn’t require any glue for the card base. The pieces just slip together in a grid pattern and form a nice sturdy foundation. You’ll definitely want to give this card style a try and see what you think. They are on SALE 30% off this week (see coupon code at the bottom of this post).  Each card SVG file is available individually and in the  bundle: 5×7 Grid Pop Up Card Valentine Bundle

Grid Pop Up Card Tutorial

Hi Everyone!  I’m back with another fun 5×7 Grid Pop Up Card today!  In addition to the seasonal versions of this card type, Lori has a fun 5×7 Grid Pop Up Birthday Bundle.  I have a few January birthdays coming up so I decided to make the 5×7 Grid Pop Up Card Birthday Balloons version (SVG, Silhouette).  I pieced it together with papers from Lori’s Pets Collection for Echo Park Paper.  Take a peek…

I put together a quick tutorial showing just how easy these cards are to assemble.
Start by cutting the pieces of your card.  You will have three plain bases (bottom) and three decorated inserts.  Next, add the different elements to the inserts.  I cut and added the stars, balloons, and banner to the front-facing pieces (the clouds are part of my patterned paper).  I also print and cut the sentiment piece using the print and cut feature of my Silhouette.  This piece goes on the back of the largest insert.

 

Next, you want to start assembling your “grid”.  Start with the three plain bases.  The two smaller bases go on the outer sides with the larger one in the middle.  Slide the front star insert into the front-most slits in each of the base pieces as shown.  The bottoms should be flush.  You may need to wiggle them a little to get them there.
Next, add the second insert with the balloons.  You want to slide it into the second set of slits in the base pieces.

 

 

Lastly, repeat the process with the largest background insert.  Slide it into the last row of slits until the bottoms are all flush.
Once assembled this card folds flat to fit into a standard A7 (5.25″ x 7.25″) envelope.

 

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Winter Hexagon Pop Up Card

Oh my gosh!  It has been a frigid start to Winter here in South Dakota. Lots and lots of snow, temperatures, and wind chill up to -42 below. Just plain ridiculous if you ask me. But we might as well make the best of it and celebrate winter and Lori has these super fun Hexagon Pop-Up Cards that are easy to create.

My card today was perfect for my Winter theme, the Snowman Hexagon Pop Up Card in Lori’s store or you can find it here in the Silhouette Online Design Store. Once you make one and see how easy they are, you will want to make more.  They also fold flat for mailing, so one of my friends will enjoy winter with this little snowman to keep her company!

I used Lori’s Echo Park Collection, The Magic Of Winter Collection for the papers and the embellishments on my card.  I did switch out the snowman also, I just couldn’t resist the happy little snowman in the collection pack!

Stay warm and cozy my friends~Cathy

 

 

Polar Bear Hot Cocoa Stand Holiday Card

Hello everyone!

Marcia here today. I have a holiday card to share with you today. No, it’s not too late to make and send holiday cards! New Year is a holiday so for me, it’s ok to send a card after Christmas. I love to send holiday cards to friends and family as well as receive them. I especially love a box card that can sit on a tabletop or counter and doubles as home decor. This Hexagon Pop-Up Card Hot Cocoa  Booth With Polar Bear (SVG, Silhouette) cut file can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of holiday cards. I used the new Echo Park Paper The Magic Of Winter collection.

 
Stop by the Lori Whitlock YouTube tutorial for instructions on how to assemble the hexagon pop-up cards. Don’t worry about how you will mail it, because these awesome cards fold flat and fit in an A2 envelope!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by,
