5X7 Pop Up Card St Patricks Day Tutorial

I love a pop-up card and St. Patrick’s Day!  So I had to make Lori’s new pop-up card (SVG, Silhouette).

5X7 Pop Up Card St Patricks Day

Get started by organizing your cuts within your software.  In Silhouette Studio, I organized most the white pieces on a piece that I can print and cut.

On the pieces with the words, make sure to select the piece, and select Cut Edge.  So the words will be printed, then the tag shape will be cut.  You can see in the image all the cut lines are red, and the words are not.  I also select no color for all the lines.  Print this page and it’s ready to cut.

 

Cut out all the other pieces in the colors that you desire.

Next let’s make the front of the card.

When you are building the front, be sure to adhere the wheels and these 2 shamrocks first, then adhere the truck piece.

 

 

Next, adhere the letters to the pop-up portion of the card taking card to keep all adhesive away from the pop-up parts. After they are adhered, carefully fold and pop out the LUCKY.  Be sure to fold on the score lines.

Now time to put all the pieces together.

 

 

That’s it.  I hope you find a pop-up card that you want to make.  Here are some other new ones: Pop-up Cards. If you make one, tag Lori and me (@ashleymhc) so that we can see it!A

St. Patrick’s Day Cards

 Spring is almost here and Saint Patrick’s Day is just around the corner too. Lori designed the cutest collection for Echo Park Happy Saint Patrick’s Day.  Just so fun and filled with the sweetest prints and little leprechauns!  I used this collection to make both of the cards that I am sharing with you today.

First is Lori’s French Door Easel Card – St Patrick or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.  I had never tried one of these French door cards before, super fun and lots of files to choose from.  I, of course, swapped out the leprechaun for a sticker in the collection that I loved.  These cards are fast and easy to put together. Just another fun way to display a handmade card.

And next, a box card, which is my favorite along with the envelope cards.  This is Lori’s Box Card Gnome Shamrock or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.  Again, I removed the gnome and replaced it with the cute little leprechaun sticker and some other fun bits from the Echo Park collection.  He’s just so cute standing in his field of shamrocks.

 

Wishing you all a very lucky day!

Shamrock Heart Pop Up Card

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  It’s a super fun day to get your green on.  It’s always been a special day for me, as my parents met on St. Patrick’s Day at a church dance.  They have been together 56 years now, isn’t that amazing ?  So for me,  shamrocks and hearts kind of go together.  This Heart Circular Pop Up Card  you can find in Lori’s shop or here in the Silhouette Design Store, reminded me of a shamrock.  You can either cut four of the designs and get a square shape or cut five and get this wonderful flower shape.  I love how cute it turned out.  Lori has a tutorial that you can view and see how easy these pop up cards are to put together.  I have made a couple of these now and I just love them.

Tie your little album shut and then they just explode with happiness!

Isn’t this just too fun?

I cut five sets and embellished the pages.  I will go back and add some photo’s and tags when I find the perfect pictures to add.  You can just adhere the bottom of the patterned paper hearts, that way they become pockets to add little tags too.  You can find another example of the pockets and tag idea here.

This little album just makes me happy.  I hope you all have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day and may we will all find that Pot of Gold at the end of a Rainbow!
