A2 Curved Pop Up Card Graduation

July 22, 2024July 21, 2024

Hello crafty friends!

Tamara here to show you this graduation card. My oldest son had his graduation last week and I wanted to make him a cute card, this curved pop up design. I loved it right away so I had to make it!

SVG / SILHOUETTE

As you might have noticed right away, I changed the text in Dutch for my son, the original text was Congrats Grad!

This cute card design presses flat to fit into an A2 envelope. When the card is removed from the envelope the curved front pops forward and the crease in the card base goes backward. The card is pretty simple to create and leaves enough space to write on the 2 back panels.

If you need some guidance to put this card together you can watch this great VIDEO!

If you love this card base as much as I do, its also available in a great bundle that you can HERE.

Thanks for stopping by, Tamara.

Scalloped Pocket Gift Card Album Tutorial

May 23, 2024May 23, 2024

Hey there friends! Traci here and today I’m sharing a fun project that makes an amazing present for someone special. It’s a cute mini album made of pocket pages that are sized perfectly for gift cards. You could also add a sweet note, photos, tickets, or money. I created mine with a graduation theme, but … you could embellish this for ANY occasion! I’ve added a video below so you can see just how easy this was to make!

I chose Lori’s amazing cutting file called Scalloped Pocket Gift Card Album (SVG, Silhouette) and decorated it with paper and ephemera from the Bella Blvd, Cap and Gown Collection.

The cutting file is one pocket page but you could cut as many as you’d like. I made 4 so that I could add a variety of gift cards and notes.

Each page has a self closing pocket that will securely hold your gift cards or other items. At the bottom of each, there are 2 holes where you thread a piece of ribbon or twine to bind the book.

I love the curved scalloped edge on the flap of each pocket. Such a cute detail.

I embellished each page (front and back) with die cut pieces, but … you could add photo mats and pictures instead for a more personalized design.

I hope you like my graduation version of the Scalloped Pocket Gift Card Album. It’s a simple and fun project that can hold lots of gift cards! Great idea for ANY occasion. Happy crafting!

Now we will turn the time over to Brandie…

Hello there! Graduation season is upon us. It always feels like the last few weeks of school are a whirlwind. I have two graduates to celebrate and needed something easy and cute. This A2 Graduation Gown Gift Card holder is perfect (SVG, Silhouette). It’s easily customized and what graduate doesn’t love a little money.

After I uploaded the file to Cricut Design Spacae I decided I wanted to add a sentiment and the year. I typed out congratulations and 2024 in the font I liked. I resized to fit on the white sashes, adjusted the alignment, and flattened the sashes to make them a print and cut.

This cap and gown come together quickly. The front of the gown has the yellow accents for the collar and sleeves. The back of the gown also has sleeve accents, and the cap has a tassel and tiny circle to cover the top of the tassel after it is glued onto the cap.

For the pocket I glued the pocket to the inside of the back of the gown, aligning the corners to the edge of the gown so that it wouldn’t show over the edges. I then glued the front of the gown on top of the pocket making sure not to glue the top closed.

This little cap and gown are ready for a gift card or even some cash. Thanks for stopping by today!

A2 Graduation Cap Card 2 Tutorial

May 18, 2023May 17, 2023

Anita here with a tutorial for assembling Lori’s A2 Grad Cap Card (SVG, Silhouette). I also used a tutorial that one of my fellow Creative Team Members created to make the tassel for my card. You can find Teri’s tutorial here. Below are the pieces that you will need to cut out to make this card.

This is the card base and you will be closing the card by gluing on the tabs.

Next, we will fold the inner part of the card that makes the sentiment card base and grad hat shape. You will want to flip your card over and fold across the score lines as shown below.

Flip the card back over with the right side facing up and fold on the diagonal score lines. I did one fold to the left and then the next diagonal score line was folded to the right.
