Today I’m excited to share a fun birthday project I made using the “Happy Birthday Pop Up Card” file from Lori.
This card is perfect for surprising someone special because honestly, nothing beats receiving a handmade 3D card in the mail!
You can download the file here:
Open the file in your cutting machine software.
Cut all the elements using the correct colors of cardstock. I used 80 lb (216 gsm) cardstock for a sturdy result.
Sort all the pieces that belong together so assembly becomes easier (see photo).
Glue the cupcake together.
Assemble and glue the balloons the right way.
Glue the gift boxes together.
Now that everything is assembled, it’s time to put the card together!
Fold the white card base as shown in the photo below.
Apply glue to the first pop-up tab and attach the first gift.
Add glue to tab 2 & 3 and attach the cake and second gift.
Take the two white strips and glue them into squares, 
Now apply glue to the long side of each. Attach the cupcake to the wider piece and the smallest gift to the other one,
Apply glue to the bottom of the white block with the gift and attach it to the right side of the card, slightly in front of the right gift.
Glue the bottom of the white square behind the cupcake and attach it to the left side of the card, halfway next to the left gift.
Attach the balloons to the white card panel with the black strings and the text “It’s your day”.
Glue the pop-up card into the folded base card as shown in the photo.
Attach the white panel with the balloons to the front of the card.
I hope you love this card as much as I do! The 3D effect really makes it feel like a little celebration in an envelope!
Happy crafting!

Happy Thursday everyone! Today I am bringing you a tutorial for this fun floating easel card with a sunflower. (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette)
As always, cut all your pieces and have your supplies ready. You will need fishing line for this card.
I folded my 2 pieces on the score marks.
Then added the patterned paper to the base.
I assembled my sentiment and added dimentionals before centering it onto the base.
Assemble your flowers by offsetting the 2 colors of the flower. I also embossed my centers for a little extra texture. You will need to attach the backs of your 2 flowers with your fishing line between the 2 flowers (my fishing line is yellow for you to see better).
Add your circle piece of patterned paper on top followed by your 1st circle border. Attach your fishing line to the top of the circle border left to right. Trim your fishing line so it does not go past the circle border. Add the 2nd circle border over top of the 1st.
When the card is done, the flower will be hanging within the circle.
And when the easel is in place, it is a cute little floating sunflower.
It even swings like the video below.
I’d love to see if you make one of these fun cards. Until then, thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
Spring seems to be just around the corner…I am sure there is more winter to come here in South Dakota…but I am remaining hopeful. And with Spring just around the corner, it’s time to think about gardening and bees. So I broke out Lori’s Bee Happy collection. This is such a fun collection, and it’s perfect for Spring and Summer.
First, I used Lori’s A2 Honey Card. Silhouette Just the cutest little shaped card.
