5×7 Barn Easel Card Tutorial

Leave a comment

Hi there! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the 5×7 Barn Easel Card Patriotic (SVG, Silhouette). This barn card includes several elements, but the assembly is straightforward. Each piece has at least two layers. Start by gluing down the barn stripes, followed by the roof trim. Assemble the door and windows, then attach them to the barn. Center the wreath around the top window and glue the banner to the middle of the barn. Finally, align and attach the small fence along the bottom and right side of the barn.

The card base consists of two pieces. The top piece features two score lines that are folded as mountain folds. The end fold is glued to the back piece, forming the card base. Attach the green grass strip to the front of the card at the open edge. Apply glue only up to the middle score line on the card base, then center the barn over the glued area, aligning it with the bottom of the card. The truck can now be glued to the front of the card aligning it to the bottom and left side of the car.
The sentiment is glued inside the card near the center. Adding foam dots to the back of the sentiment will help keep the card open, though they are optional.

This barn card is darling and makes a festive decor piece for the recipient. Be sure to check out all of the available options in Lori’s shop. Thanks for stopping by today!

3D Graduation Bouquet Tutorial

1 Comment

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay, sharing a fun graduation project with you today. My oldest daughter graduated this past weekend, and we have been on the grad party circuit as we celebrate with her friends. It’s so fun to see how each party is uniquely decorated. We’ve also handed out a lot of cards and gifts at each stop. This project makes a beautiful centerpiece or card for that special graduate. The file is called “3D Graduation Bouquet,” and it includes the flowers, envelope, and a mini greeting card (svg, silhouette).

After I uploaded the file into Design Space, I decided to change the flowers to blue and yellow. All of the flower centers are white. This fits with the color scheme for the college that my daughter will be attending in the fall.

I began by assembling each layer. I used foam adhesive for extra dimension on the bow, flower centers and grad hat. I also popped up the top green layer for each floral bundle.

Next I shifted my focus to the white folding mechanism. This piece helps the bouquet flatten into an envelope, and it also uses a kickstand to keep the bouquet open and standing–perfect for a centerpiece! I used strong tape to hold the pieces together.   

Moving right along, I folded the piece that extends down from the long white strip. I refer to this piece as the kickstand. You will basically accordion fold the tabs until you have one sturdy piece.

Now it’s time to fold the larger part of the white mechanism and attach it to the blue vase/flower pot base pieces. The kickstand will be even with the bottom of the blue base, but it is not adhered.

Finally, it all comes together! I added adhesive to one set of the blue tabs, connecting the front and back tabs. I also added adhesive to the front of the smaller floral cluster and the back of the larger floral cluster. These get adhered to the front and back of the white X piece, which is now sandwiched between the blue vase.

I hope this inspires you to create a bouquet card or centerpiece today! This file truly has a wow factor when it is assembled! Click on the picture below, and it will take you right to the file on Lori’s site. Thanks for stopping by the blog today! — Lindsay


Birthday Card Organizer

1 Comment

Hi crafty friends!

Today I wanted to share something a little different than a card project. Instead of making a card, I decided to create this super cute organizer, and honestly, I think every crafty desk deserves one!

This sweet organizer is perfect for storing all your handmade cards safely in one place. You can keep your finished creations organized and ready to send, but it’s also wonderful for storing special mail and treasured cards you’ve received from loved ones. And yes…

there’s even room for your envelopes, postage stamps, pens, and other crafty essentials. Or fill it with any little treasures you want to keep close by, because crafters know tiny pretty things somehow multiply overnight!

I decorated mine with bright cheerful papers to give it a happy, playful look that instantly makes me smile when I see it on my desk.

Oh and a great extra is that the file comes with insert cards as well! and even a Calendar!

The cutting files for this project can be downloaded from Lori Whitlock’s shop HERE and they are such a joy to assemble. This project is both practical and beautiful — my favorite combination!

I hope I’ve inspired you to create one for yourself too. If you decide to make this organizer, I wish you lots of crafty fun and happy creating!

Happy crafting!

5×7 3D Sunflower Bouquet

Leave a comment
Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today! As you can see I cannot get enough of Lori’s new Floral Bouquets. Today I am sharing a card from her latest 5×7 Easy Floral Bouquets called 3D Sunflower Bouquet (SVG), (Silhouette). The files come with a 5×7 Bouquet & a little mini card.
After cutting out all my pieces I embossed the centre of the flowers to give a little dimension. I also inked the petals in the centre, though it is hard to see in the image.
I love how practical these files are. If you didn’t have time to make the bouquet & wanted to make a quick card, you can use the mini card & enlarge it to 5×7 as I have done here.
The bouquet folds flat to fit a 5×7 envelope!
Make sure you check out the other 5×7 Bouquets here.
