Happy Spring almost Summer Everyone! I have a quick little card tutorial to share with you today using Lori’s new Echo Park Collection Firefly. I simply adore everything about this collection, the patterns, the amazing details, the colors….it is all swoon worthy, you have to get it. It is just so perfect for summer. The card is one of her pop up box cards, that fold flat for mailing and then pop up and give a fabulous 3 d effect for your recipient. You can find this card here in Lori’s Shop or here in The Silhouette Online Design Store. I just love mason jars and this is just so cute.

First, cut and organize all your pieces.

I always ink all my edges, except the white.

Put your card base together, here I used papers from the 6×6 Firefly paper pad and card stock. Your score lines will be a peak and a valley.

As you can see here, it fold to a 5×5 card base.

Next, make this piece. Here I added some beautiful washi tape from the Firefly collection. Love it! Again you will have a peak and a valley for score lines.

You are only going to add adhesive on the two ends, and you can see where I wrote here and here. Make sure no adhesive goes in the middle, otherwise your card won’t pop up. My adhesive fits the first little panel and then from the second score line to the right.

Once you add this piece, you can see how the little pop up box is formed to add your remaining dimensional pieces.

Now just finish up the layers for these two pieces and add adhesive to the sides. Add them in order, as Lori numbers them for you…1 & 2.

Press them firmly to the sides to create the pop up effect!

And there you have it! The cutest little card popping with joy! I love using all the fun embellishments form her collections to really create my own take on each of her cards.
