Hexagon Pop Up Card Palm Tree

Hi there friends and Happy Monday! Today I am sharing one of the new Hexagon Pop Up cards (SVG). I love the summer vibe this group has, and I was drawn to the palm trees and flamingo card (SVG, Silhouette). These files also come with several print and cut sentiments too add to the front of the card. I love a multi-use card! I used papers and stickers from Lori’s Endless Summer collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Box Card Tropical Suitcase 2 Tutorial

Anita here with a fun summer box card that I assembled.  It is Lori’s Box Card Tropical Suitcase 2 (SVG, Silhouette).  I used some of Lori’s Echo Park Paper collections including All About a Girl, Day in the Life No. 2 and Our Little Princess.
 
Here are the steps that I went through to put together this card:
1.  Cut out all the pieces.
2.  Fold all the score lines on the card base and glue the suitcase together.
3.  Glue the backing piece on the suitcase lid.  I thought this would be a great place to write a sentiment.
4.  Take your piece that is labeled as 1 and fold along the score lines at the edge.  Glue the leaves down first and then layer your flowers ending it up with the stamen and set aside.
5.  Move on to piece number 2 which is the flamingo.  Fold the score lines at the edge and glue the black layer, with the whole flamingo body onto piece number 2.  Then add the darker pink layer which shows up on the bird’s back and on its face.  Finish off your flamingo with the light pink top layer of the bird and the white piece near the beak and set aside.
6.  You are now onto the palm tree, piece number 3.  Fold the edge score lines and glue down the trunk first and then the palm leaves.  I used enamel dots for the coconuts but you can use the coconuts that come with the file.
7.  Decorate the outside of your suitcase with the handle and the suitcase edges.  Glue down the edge pieces and finish with the dots included in the file or use enamel dots like I did.  
6.  I like to put the pieces into my card and view them with the card both open and closed to make sure that I am happy with the placement.  This top-view photo shows where I chose to glue my tabs into the suitcase.  I always favor a wet glue when putting these box cards together so that the pieces stay where I want them to.  You can also glue it in and then close the card and press it on a table to make sure that it adheres well.

Here is the card folded flat and ready to be mailed to someone who is off on an adventure this summer.

That’s it for me today.  Be sure to check out all of  Lori’s fun summer cards.

Hugs,

Hi guys, Traci here! Today, I’m sharing a great summer card that has me dreamin’ about the sun, sand and tropical vibes. It’s made with one of Lori’s awesome cutting files called Box Card Tropical Suitcase (SVG, Silhouette) and the flamingo, hibiscus and palm tree are perfect for this time of year.

Pop-up Card with Flamingo, Palm Tree, Hibiscus Flower

I love all the details on this card … especially on the little blue suitcase. Check out the handle and those tiny corner pieces with the enamel dots. So cute! This card would be perfect for a summer themed party, a birthday, someone who loves flamingos or traveling, or simply telling someone you’re thinkin’ of them!

It looks great sitting on a desk or a counter for a little summertime décor and it folds flat for mailing and storage. I made this with cardstock from my stash and Echo Park’s Endless Summer collection designed by Lori.

Lori has so many amazing cards … I hope you’ll try this one next. Happy crafting!

Digital Inspiration with the Silhouette Software

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday from Ashley.  I’m bringing you a little different post today.  I created an invite within Silhouette software.  I create digital layouts and invites in Photoshop Elements, but I wanted to show you that you can also create digital cards and invites in Silhouette Studio.

I used Lori’s Island Paradise Digital Files found here.  She also has an SVG kit of these items in her shop here. I used the adorable Flamingo from Paige Evans found here.

Fonts: LW Darling Script, LW Perfect Type here or here.

If you need to save and print invites at a print shop, just select Print and choose a PDF printer.  This saves your file as a PDF.  Ready to print.

Enjoy!
Ashley
