Happy Birthday Pop Up Card Tutorial

Today I’m excited to share a fun birthday project I made using the “Happy Birthday Pop Up Card” file from Lori.


This card is perfect for surprising someone special because honestly, nothing beats receiving a handmade 3D card in the mail!

You can download the file here:

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Open the file in your cutting machine software.

Step 2

Cut all the elements using the correct colors of cardstock. I used 80 lb (216 gsm) cardstock for a sturdy result.

Step 3

Sort all the pieces that belong together so assembly becomes easier (see photo).

Step 4

Glue the cupcake together.

Step 5

Assemble and glue the balloons the right way.

Step 6

Glue the gift boxes together.

Now that everything is assembled, it’s time to put the card together!

Step 7

Fold the white card base as shown in the photo below.

Step 8

Apply glue to the first pop-up tab and attach the first gift.

Step 9

Add glue to tab 2 & 3 and attach the cake and second gift.

Step 10

Take the two white strips and glue them into squares,

Step 11

Now apply glue to the long side of each. Attach the cupcake to the wider piece and the smallest gift to the other one,

Step 12

Apply glue to the bottom of the white block with the gift and attach it to the right side of the card, slightly in front of the right gift.

Step 13

Glue the bottom of the white square behind the cupcake and attach it to the left side of the card, halfway next to the left gift.

Step 14

Attach the balloons to the white card panel with the black strings and the text “It’s your day”.

Step 15

Glue the pop-up card into the folded base card as shown in the photo.

Step 16

Attach the white panel with the balloons to the front of the card.

I hope you love this card as much as I do! The 3D effect really makes it feel like a little celebration in an envelope!

Happy crafting!

I used a fun cobblestone stencil from Hero Arts on the outside of each mailbox and added a few glittery berries to the all of the wreaths for an extra bit of bling.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today!

Print and Cut Labels

Welcome to the weekend.  I hope you have fun plans.  Christmas is almost here.  This year, I made some extracts to give as gifts.  I followed instructions from Our Best Bites.  I started back in September, so I hope they are ready to give.  I used Lori’s Pantry Labels to make up a quick label.  I used the new Darling Font for the extract name, and I used Dreamy Font for the other text.

 

 

 

Hope you get some of your list checked off this weekend. The Blog Hop sale is still going, so grab up those last files needed for your Christmas projects.

Coasters Anyone?

Check out these fun coasters by our 1 and only Joy! I absolutely love what she created with these files. Personalized coasters. You could do this for so many different events/themes. After she added the vinyl to the coaster she used felt feet to prevent them from scratching, another GREAT IDEA!

Joy has a lot more photos and instructions on her blog so head on over to check it out.
