5×7 Grid Pop Up Card Tutorial

 

Hi there friends! Today I’m sharing a tutorial for the new 5×7 Grid Pop Up Cards. I am using the 5×7 Grid Pop Up Card Butterfly (SVG, Silhouette). These cards have the pop-up wow factor of a box card but are much easier to make and they fold flat for mailing! These cards are also great scrap busters I didn’t need to cut into a new 12×12 sheet paper for any of the pieces.

Once I had everything cut out of 80lb cardstock I inked the edges of the treetops, flowers, and butterfly. This file also has a print and cut sentiment that is glued onto the back of the treetop (not pictured).

I then assembled the insets. For the small flower pieces, I used my sticker maker. When I glued the butterfly together, I only added glue to the center body portion to give the wings a little more dimension.

Now to assemble the card. There are three green base pieces two smaller and one large. Each one has three slits cut into them. The smaller bases are for the outside and the large one goes in the middle.

Starting with the trees slide each base into the slits at the bottom of the tree panel. The bottom edge of the tree panel and the bases should be level and touching the table. Now add the butterfly panel and the flower panel the same way.

 

To fold flat just push the base over to one side. The bases do not need to come apart to fold flat.
This card is fun and easy to make, and Lori has lots of versions. Definity go check them out! Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Flower Card

Hello crafty friends! Who’s enjoying the Spring? I know I am. I am also enjoying the new set of beautiful flower cards from Lori. Today I am showing off the new A7 Flower Card 2 (Lori’s SVG, Silhouette).

 

This card was fun to put together with all of the beautiful flowers and bow. On the bow, I only adhered the center and lifted up on the edges to give some dimension. I also added a panel to the card by cutting a piece of pattern paper that is 1/8″ inch smaller on each side. I added a “oh happy day” sentiment to the card but with a different sentiment this could easily turn into a lovely Mother’s Day card!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Chipboard Village Easter Add-on

Did you create Lori’s Chipboard Village for Christmas?  Now we have an Easter add-on (SVG, Silhouette(coming soon)).  Find the Christmas Village in the Shop and Silhouette Store (Farmhouse, Manor, Church, Cottage, General Store).

The add-on is a one page print and cut file.  I printed on Sticker paper and I also cut out each shape from cardstock.  I added the sticker to the cardstock shape and glued onto the cardstock stand that is also included in the file.  They look great with the village houses, and are perfect for spring!

Have a great day!

Cut it Out! Tips and Tricks with Michelle

When using our electronic cutting machines, we often forget that our most valuable tool is our scissors. Hello crafty friends! Michelle Zerull here today to share some simple ideas to stretch your SVG files even farther.

3D Paper Spring Shed House with SVG files by Lori Whitlock

A few years ago my husband bought me this cloche for my Birthday. I love making little seasonal things to fit inside, but it is an odd size. If you recall, Lori designed the cutest set of Haunted Houses, “Haunted House Tall” was perfect for this project.  (you can find the file in Silhouette Design Store or at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop)

I love the tall, skinny shape, but I can do without the spider for Spring.

A few quick snips to the details after they were cut on my Cameo. Voila! No more spider! It was super easy!

I also used my scissors on the 1 Piece Flower Cluster Border. (found in the Silhouette Design Store)

Isolating the individual flowers and cutting them out with my machine would’ve taken forever!

So it appears that cutting with scissors, a skill we all learned in Kindergarten, really is a great way to stretch our SVG’s even farther. I added an accent from Lori’s “Spring Fling” line by Echo Park Paper and a cute 3D flower (found in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Design Store) and my cloche is ready for Spring!

Keep those scissors handy!

Center Box Card with Michelle

One of my favorite reasons to send a card is for no reason at all. An unexpected card is certain to bring a smile. I, Michelle, would like to share a Center Box Card that I made with my Silhouette Cameo and SVG files from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. You can also find the Beautiful Day file at the Silhouette Design Store.

Center Box Card Beautiful Day

Although it wasn’t needed, I made a few slight variations to the design using my Silhouette Designer Edition Software. (which can also be found here at Lori’s shop) This was the first time that I had made one of these cards and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lori has a YouTube Video that shows how to assemble these cards step by step. So easy! I also love that this card is 3-D, yet it lays flat for mailing. I even made my own coordinating envelope, which is a FREE file at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

Thanks for letting me share and I hope that you have a beautiful day!
