Box Card Envelope Birthday Balloons

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing a card I made for a sweet boy who is celebrating his golden birthday very soon. I used the Box Card Envelope Birthday Balloons (SVG, Silhouette). I’m a sucker for a box card and this envelope version is so cute! This birthday boy will be celebrating in one of his favorite places, so I had to use the A Magical Place and Magical Voyage paper collections by Echo Park Paper Co.

I love how this card turned out. Thanks for dropping by today.

5X7 4th Of July Balloons Card Tutorial

The 4th of July is right around the corner.  Lori has some new 4th of July projects in her shop. Today I’m going to share a tutorial for this card (SVG, Silhouette).

The front of the card can either be created by printing or using a sketch pen.  Today I’m going to show the card using the sketch pen.

In Silhouette Studio open your file and ungroup the pieces. Place the front of the card on the mat. Click on Send, to open the Send panel.

Notice above, the cut lines are selected in red. Select the Line panel (available in some version of Studio).

Click on the box to select the No Color selection.  And change the tool to Sketch.

Now we have the red lines set to cut and the no color set to sketch.  We are ready to send to the machine.

Here you see the sketched lines.  I think it looks so cute.

Now cut all the other pieces for the card.

I then used the front piece to lightly trace the balloon outlines onto the card base.  This helps with placing the balloon pieces.  Adhere all the balloon pieces to the card base.

Next, adhere the card front to the card base.

Also, adhere the white star middle pieces and the ribbon.

There is how to make this adorable 4th of July card.  You can also sketch with Cricut software.  Similar steps. Let us know if you sketch this card with your Cricut and share your projects.

Thanks for stopping by!

5×7 Box Card Birthday Present Balloon

Hi friends! Popping in to share one of the new Birthday Box cards that are in Lori’s shop. I made the 5×7 Box Card Birthday Present Balloon card (SVG, Silhouette). This card is also a part of the Fabulous Birthday Card Bundle (SVG).

I used the Birthday Girl collection by Echo Park Paper. I love how easy it is to change the look of the card with just the papers.

 

This card is definitely worth having in your collection. Thanks for stopping by today!

Grid Pop Up Card Tutorial

Hi Everyone!  I’m back with another fun 5×7 Grid Pop Up Card today!  In addition to the seasonal versions of this card type, Lori has a fun 5×7 Grid Pop Up Birthday Bundle.  I have a few January birthdays coming up so I decided to make the 5×7 Grid Pop Up Card Birthday Balloons version (SVG, Silhouette).  I pieced it together with papers from Lori’s Pets Collection for Echo Park Paper.  Take a peek…

I put together a quick tutorial showing just how easy these cards are to assemble.
Start by cutting the pieces of your card.  You will have three plain bases (bottom) and three decorated inserts.  Next, add the different elements to the inserts.  I cut and added the stars, balloons, and banner to the front-facing pieces (the clouds are part of my patterned paper).  I also print and cut the sentiment piece using the print and cut feature of my Silhouette.  This piece goes on the back of the largest insert.

 

Next, you want to start assembling your “grid”.  Start with the three plain bases.  The two smaller bases go on the outer sides with the larger one in the middle.  Slide the front star insert into the front-most slits in each of the base pieces as shown.  The bottoms should be flush.  You may need to wiggle them a little to get them there.
Next, add the second insert with the balloons.  You want to slide it into the second set of slits in the base pieces.

 

 

Lastly, repeat the process with the largest background insert.  Slide it into the last row of slits until the bottoms are all flush.
Once assembled this card folds flat to fit into a standard A7 (5.25″ x 7.25″) envelope.

 

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Birthday Balloons Bag

Happy Labor Day (for those in the United States).  Happy Monday to all.  I hope you have great things planned for today and week.  How about starting the week off with some crafty inspiration.  Lori recently added some new bags to her shop.  I am sharing the Birthday Balloons bag today (SVG, Silhouette).

These bags are quick to piece together, and there are several design options in the shop. It’s a perfect size for a small gift with a gift card or a treat. It would also work great as a party favor bag.
