Happy Birthday! 5×7 Happy Birthday Card

Welcome to our Thursday tutorial post!

5×7 Happy Birthday Card (SVG, Silhouette)
 
This card is also included in Lori’s Birthday Bash Bundle.

 

This wonderful card caught my attention the very first time I saw it! I loved the colors and thought the design was outstanding!  

I cut out this design, leaving the tiny cut out pieces on my sticky mat. I couldn’t just throw away all the fun cut out pieces so I made a second card out of the “scraps”. All I had to do was cut double  balloons and added a few extra leaves and flowers and cut two white card bases. I always cut multiples of little pieces anyway-I somehow manage to drop a few! It was tedious with all those little pieces, but I was sitting watching my latest Netflix obsession so I was doing double duty!

This is the back side of the card top . Most of the colors are glued onto the backside.
You have to set the top piece on top of the center piece to see the placement of the center of the letters.
All three layers are ready to glue together and the card is complete!
Here is the 2nd card I made with the left over bits and pieces.
 
Here is the sentiment that I saved with the accent paper pieces glued on. I set them aside for card #2. You have to make the white card first because you need the top piece for placing each letter.
I saved all the little do-dahs and glued them on to the white card base, using the dark piece as the guide for placement.  I added all the dots and balloons, flowers etc with my pick-me-up tool as well as my paper piercer and little mat scraper. I love getting double duty from one cut file! 

I hope you enjoyed these cute cards.
