Birthday Presents Wish Pop-up Card Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I have a tutorial to share with you today for the A2 Birthday Presents Wish Card (SVGSilhouette). This cut file can be found in Lori’s store along with some new 5×7 Pop-up cards with the same inside blocks that pop up when the card is opened. I used pattern papers from Lori’s Birthday Boy collection as well as coordinating cardstock from my stash. The front of the card looks like any normal card. I added a few die-cut ephemera to go along with the birthday presents from the cut file.

When the card is opened, The blocks with the word WISH pop out.

Let me show you how this card is assembled.

1. Choose your papers and cut all pieces out. I used the Silhouette print and cut feature to get the sentiment Sending you a Birthday printed on my white Neenah cardstock. I like to ink the edges of some of my pieces especially if the paper has a white core. Inking the edges also adds depth.

2. Let’s assemble the inside of the card first. Adhere your colored squares between the cut lines. Fold the big squares out and the thinner base of the card in. Using a bone folder to get a good crease really helps. Fold the card base in half on the scored line as well.

 

 

 

3. With the white cardstock folded in half, line it up with the scored line on the card base. I find it easier to glue half of the white cardstock to the card base at a time.

4. Apply glue to the white cardstock and fold the card closed. Flip the card base over and repeat adhering the other side to the card base.

5. Assemble the birthday presents for the front of the card. Adhere the front panel to the card base. Use the birthday presents alone, or add other fun birthday die-cut ephemera.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out Lori’s Store for more amazing cut files.

Memorydex Cards

Memorydex Cards have really made a comeback this year in the scrapping world, so I thought I would join in and create a bit.  I used Lori’s new Echo Park collection Life Is Beautiful.  Beautiful patterned papers, tons of embellishments, including puffy stickers. It was so much fun to play with this beautiful collection.  I added my cards to a Heidi Swapp Memory Dex Spinner but Lori has a super cute Memory Dex box you can make, you can find it here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Store.

My first set is the Memory Dex Scalloped Cards or here in the Silhouette Store.  I added some stitching, lots of layers and lots of embellishments from the Life is Beautiful Collection.
Next are the Memorydex Envelopes or here in the Silhouette Store, again stitching and stuffed with embellishments…oh so much fun!
And one more set, Memorydex Foldover Cards or here in the Silhouette Store.  There is also a bit of stitching on these and layered up with all the goodies.  I had so much fun creating all of these.  They are fast and fun.  I can see why they are making a comeback.  I hope you give them a try.

 

 

 

 

5×7 House Card

Hi everyone!  I have the cutest card to share with you today.  Lori recently added this 5×7 House Card (SVG, Silhouette) to her shop. This house card is so fun.  I created this one with Lori’s Our Little Princess paper collection.

I added some embellishments that are also part of the Our Little Princess collection.  Enjoy and have a great week!

Sleigh Poinsettia Box Card

Hello everyone!! I just love the new sleigh box cards that Lori came out with recently, not only are they adorable they are super simple to put together. I made the sleigh poinsettia (SVG, Silhouette) one and used paper and a couple of stickers from the lovely The First Noel Collection by Echo Park. The file comes with a Merry Christmas printable sentiment but I used a sentiment sticker from the collection instead.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Off to College Stationery Set

Hi Everyone:

Happy Fall.  Hard to believe summer is at it’s end.  I wanted to put together an off to college stationery set for my niece.  I’m going to send her first care package with treats and this stationery set in it.  These cards which are linked below, the Ornate Pull Out Cards 1-9 are so pretty and so easy to put together.  The Stationery Box Big Scallops is linked below as well and is great to package up these beautiful cards.  I used Echo Park Paper A Slice of Summer collection.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.
