Hi crafty friends! I’m excited to be sharing my latest project tutorial! I used Lori’s Pop Up Video Game Card to create a mini album in the shape of a gaming controller. This unique little scrapbook is perfect for photos of gaming with friends, a birthday party, or everyday pictures of your little gamer.

I started with the cutting file called 5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Video Game (SVG, Silhouette).
This card is so adorable! I only used the game controller part to create my album but I’ll definitely use the entire card file again sometime.
Let’s take a look at some of the pages, then I’ll explain exactly how I made it.

It’s fun, right? Ok, now for the tutorial …
1. I brought the card into my Silhouette software and ungrouped all of the pieces.
2. I kept only the game controller and hit ungroup again so that I could separate the pieces.
3. With the pieces separated, I duplicated the base shape to create a front and back cover. Since I only wanted the game buttons on the front cover, I released the compound path.
4. I deleted the buttons from one of the base shapes.
5. Now I added a .25” binding hole to the corner and hit “make compound path”.
6. Once I had my front and back covers, I cut the colored buttons out and adhered everything together.

Now you have a fun mini album that looks great sitting out in a kids room, dad’s office, or a college student’s apartment. Lori has so many great SVG files and I hope you’ll give her 5×7 Pop Up Card Father’s Day Video Game a try.
