Pop-up Card

I found this really awesome card idea here and knew I had to make a card like this! I decided I would make one with hearts for A on V-day! It has a link that you can use the Cricut with SCAL to cut all the lines, but I couldn't figure it out, so I broke out the x-acto knife and got to cutting. I did print all the lines on the cardstock I was using. It only took me 2 hours to complete the whole thing, great use of nap time, right? I love the way it turned out though! I cut the hearts at .75" each, there are 16 total. I used papers from the 1 Spot at Target.

Then I had to decide what to do to the front of the card, it had to be equally impressive! Birds seem to be super popular right now, so the idea of doing 2 love birds in a tree with heart leaves came to mind. This is what I came up with!

Whoooo loves you?

Owls are all the rage these days, so I knew I wanted to make an owl valentine's card! I came up with the idea of making the card one big owl! I ran across this owl svg a while ago and loved it, so that is what I used. I made it to fit in a 5 x 7 envelope, so play around with your measurements, and remember to check the "Keep Proportions" box. I then welded them together on the side, but you could potentially make it open from the top. I used a silver paper for the main card and the all of the valentine paper is from Target 1 spot, again!

For the right inside of the card I cut out "Whooo heart's you?" in pink glitter paper and added a stamp from Michael's. For the left side I added a piece of Jagger's art work and I added some bling to it with some clear glitter glue. I always like to add the name of the child and year so that I can remember when this was done years from now.

Later this week I will be showing you how to turn shipping boxes into lined storage containers, some birthday cards, and the beginning of the projects from Jagger's Mickey Mouse party!

Here is my second valentine card that I added Jagger's art to.

Again, I used SCAL and my cricut with a free svg! I got the svg from here. I took the bottom layer and and welded 2 of them together to make the card. I can't remember the exact size that I cut it at, but it was around 3 x 8. Just click the Keep Proportions button and play around with it until you get it the size that you want. I cut this out on, you guessed it, white shimmer paper! You have to play around with it to make it line up right. I added a picture of Jagger in the "O" and ribbon to the bottom. For the "L,V,E" make sure you resize them as well. All of the paper came from the 1 spot at Target, again.

For the inside I cut out another inside "L, O, V, & E" and also used Jagger's art cut out in the shape of a heart.

I did have to cut out a envelope for this one since it is not a standard size. Here is where I bought some envelope templates to use when needed.
