5x7 Box Card Birthday Present Balloons

Hi friends! Popping in to share one of the new Birthday Box cards that are in Lori's shop. I made the 5x7 Box Card Birthday Present Balloon card (SVG, Silhouette). This card is also a part of the Fabulous Birthday Card Bundle (SVG). 

I used the Birthday Girl collection by Echo Park Paper. I love how easy it is to change the look of the card with just the papers. 



This card is definitely worth having in your collection. Thanks for stopping by today!

Lori Whitlock Creative Team Blog Hop March 2023


Hi there and welcome to the Lori Whitlock blog hop! The order this month is Lori, Traci, Anita, Brandie, Ashley, Cathy, and Marcia. This month I am sharing the cute 3D Rainbow I made to add to my St Patrick's Day decor (SVG, Silhouette). As I was making this rainbow my darling eight-year-old told me "If that is supposed to be a rainbow then you are missing some colors." Well little mister it is a rainbow and I get to make it whatever color I please. Critics... 



This happy little rainbow was fun to make and embellish. Thanks for hopping along today.  Ashley is up next.

5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Tutorial 3/2

Hi there friends! Today I'm sharing a tutorial for the new 5x7 Grid Pop Up Cards. I am using the 5x7 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 12x12 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 is 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 large one goes in the middle. 

Starting with the trees slide each base into the slits at the bottom of 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 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!
