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!

New Year, crafting goals and birthdays!

Are you starting the new year with any crafting goals?  My goal is to organize my crafting space and supplies.

Along with that, today I’m sharing one of Lori’s moneyholder cards. You could use this all year long for birthdays. So you could make as many as you need at the start of the year and have them ready to go when you need them. You can find them here: SVG, Silhouette

Sliceform Pop-Up Birthday Cards

Hello friends! Marcia here today. I am always in need of birthday cards and thought these fun new slice form pop-up birthday cards were just perfect. This pink girly A2 Sliceform Pop-up Birthday Cake Card  (SVG, Silhouette) cut file can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of these new cards. I used the Echo Park Paper All About A Girl collection. The card front looks like a normal card.

When open, this fabulous cake with balloons pops up!

I loved this card so much that I decided to make one with the Echo Park Paper Birthday Boy collection as well. This is the A2 Sliceform Pop-up Birthday Presents Card  (SVG, Silhouette)

The inside has a pop-up stack of birthday presents and balloons.

Stop by the Lori Whitlock YouTube channel for a tutorial with instructions on how to assemble the A2 Sliceform pop-up cards. Don’t worry about how you will mail it, because these awesome cards fold flat and fit in an A2 envelope!
Thanks so much for stopping by,

Are You Ready for December?

Mendi is here today helping you get in the Christmas spirit. Are you ready? December starts tomorrow, it caught me off guard just a bit, I have to admit, but Mendi did a great job reminding me of the things I love about December. I always love seeing her projects.

Mendi says “For this set of cards I wanted to focus on a few of Lori’s many fabulous interactive card files she has available. These cards may look ordinaryon the outside, but they have a nice surprise inside for the lucky recipent who opens it. I thought they would be perfect for occasions when you’re wanting an extra special card for a teacher, a minister, a best friend… The list could go on and on.  Check out my blog today for more details and photos of the insides.”

Make sure and hop over to see the insides to these cards, SO CUTE.
