Pop Up Birthday Card with Kathy

Hi Everyone, and Happy New Year!!  It’s Kathy today with one of Lori’s fun Pop Up Cards.  Around here, there are a lot of birthdays early in the year, so I thought I should get ahead and make some cards!! (instead of running to the store last-minute to buy a card….I’ll admit, it has happened a few times…)

I used Lori’s Pop Up Birthday Card file (here in the Silhouette Store) and some papers from her new Echo Park Collection, Little Man.  The colors are so bright and cheery, they were perfect for a Birthday card… take a peek…

I changed the file slightly by deleting the stars in the background.  I thought it would be fun to use her star paper in their place.  A hint when making this card… the folds can be daunting, but it’s easier if you start at the bottom.  You know that all of those folds go the same direction.  Fold all of the first folds the way they are supposed to go, then work your way through the rest of the folds… every other fold goes the same direction.  The best thing about this card, besides how cute it is, is that it folds nicely and fits into an A2 Envelope!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

3D Deer Frame Card with Courtney Lee

Hi out there!!! Courtney Lee from Court’s Crafts here to show you what I did with Lori’s 3D Frame Card Deer cut file! I had a blast making this. I needed something quick and darling so I could get a thank you note out. Lori to the rescue!

I bought the deer version of this card because I love deer but also because it has a ton of things you can add/subtract/move around. You’ll see that my card doesn’t use half of the parts that you receive with the cut file! I love that I have so much more to play with!

I really wanted to keep it simple. I grabbed Lori’s A Story of Christmas for Echo Park Paper and went to work. The wood grain in this collection is scrumptious and I wanted to get that in there and highlight it. So when I went to put the frame layer over the edges, I decided to leave it alone instead. It’s it pretty!?

I also loved her “believe” sentiment and the whimsy it brought out in me. It just makes me want to stand in the middle of a snow flurry! But alas, I am in California where 55 is a “freezing” day. Snow flurries will have to be left to the imagination. I reinforced the believe in the back by putting foam dots one on top of another until it reached the hight of the frame. This gave the sentiment a lot of stability.

Did you see that darling snowman on the stickers page? I had to use him. I added some black Stickles for his buttons as well as his hat and added an enamel dot to the holly. Done and darling!

Lastly, I cut out two snowflakes using the dies that coordinate with this collection. I saved the centers of them (the stars) and put those around as well. I added some Stickles to the little stars to give them some shine.

That’s it! Easy-peasy! I attached it to an A2 card base, cut out an envelope box (that comes with the cut file!!!), tied some twine around it and I was ready to roll! Grab this 3D Frame Card Deer cut file and make it yours! You’ll love it!

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
