Lori Whitlock | 5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Tutorial

Hi Everyone!  I'm back with another fun 5x7 Grid Pop Up Card from Lori Whitlock today!  In addition to the seasonal versions of this card type, Lori has a fun 5x7 Grid Pop Up Birthday Bundle.  I have a few January birthdays coming up so I decided to make the 5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Birthday Balloons version (SVG, Silhouette).  I pieced it together with papers from Lori's Pets Collection for Echo Park Paper.  Take a peek...

I put together a quick tutorial showing just how easy these cards are to assemble.... 

Start by cutting the pieces of your card.  You will have three plain bases (bottom) and three decorated inserts.  Next add the different elements to the inserts.  I cut and added the stars, balloons and banner to the front facing pieces (the clouds are part of my patterned paper).  I also print and cut the sentiment piece using the print and cut feature of my Silhouette.  This piece goes on the back of the largest insert.

Next you want to start assembling your "grid".  Start wit the three plain bases.  The two smaller bases go on the outer sides with the larger in the middle.  Slide the front star insert into the front-most slits in each of the base pieces as shown.  The bottoms should be flush.  You may need to wiggle them a little to get them there.

Next add the second insert with the balloons.  You want to slide it into the second set of slits in the base pieces.

Lastly, repeat the process with the largest background insert.  Slide it into the last row of slits until the bottoms are all flush.

Once assembled this card folds flat to fit into a standard A7 (5.25" x 7.25") envelope.  

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Lori Whitlock | 5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Penguin

Happy New Year everyone!  Now that all of the holiday presents are opened... it's time to send out some thank you  cards!  Luckily there's a new 5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Winter Bundle in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  Each card comes with two options for a sentiment, one saying Happy Winter, the other saying Thank you Snow Much!  I put together the adorable 5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Penguin (SVG, Silhouette)  Take a peek...

How cute is is sweet face? I added some glitter glaze to my snowflakes to gift my card some sparkle.  The papers are Petite Prints from Doodlebug Design.

These cards fold flat to fit into an A7 (5.25 x 7.25) envelope.

Doodlebug Design | Hippity Hoppity Easter Basket

Hippity Hoppity, Easter's on it's way!  I have always loved Easter crafting.  The fun pastel colors, the bunnies, lambs and chicks... and let's face it... the chocolate!  I created this fun little Easter basket, along with a paper version of an egg-hunt egg using the Hippity Hoppity Collection.  Take a peek...

I started with this SVG file from Lori Whitlock for my basket.  I cut it from the purple side of the Hippity Hoppity paper.  I love how the plaid pattern looks with the woven basket!  Inside the basket I added a fun little 3D Easter Egg from Simply Crafty SVGs filled of course with something sweet!

The egg was made using some petite prints and my favorite paper from the collection, the Easter Basket plaid!!

I love how the egg also stands on it's own!

I decorated the outside of the basket with a bunny and flowers from the Hippity Hoppity Odds & Ends.

Hopefully I can resist eating all the chocolate eggs before Easter arrives!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Happy Haunting Treat Boxes

I used to love to make Halloween favors filled with treats for my daughter's class when she was in school.  Well now she's older and living in another city, but I still felt the need to make some fun treat boxes for her and her friends.  When I saw the fun jars of creepy crawlies in the Happy Haunting Odds & Ends Pack, I decided to make some 3D versions.  I mean, how cute are those little worms??

I found a mason jar treat holder in the Lori Whitlock Shop and used that as the base for my boxes.  I added a fun shaker element to the front of the jars.  Take a peek...

Inside my shakers, I added the beetles, worms and flies from the Odds & Ends pack along with some seed beads.  I created the fun labels for the front using the print and cut feature of my Silhouette.  I finished them off with some cute little stickers from the mini icons sheet.  Here are some close-ups...

I filled them each with mini chocolate bar that I wrapped in some of the 6x6 papers from the collection. They could also hold some kisses or other goodies.  The "big" kids all loved them!  If you've created some fun projects with the Happy Haunting Collection, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram.  We love to see your creations.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
