Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! I’m making my Grandchildren’s Valentines Day Cards for 2017. Cards are my passion, so of course I make them for the people I love (my grandchildren and my husband).
I made a “Makeup Bag Box Card” from SVGCuts Hearts Aflame SVG Kit for my granddaughter and two Star Wars storm trooper cards for my grandsons.
Above is a screen shot of the box card in Cricut Design Space – always lots of pieces – as always, do these projects one step at a time, and watch the assembly videos on the SVGCuts website.
Remember to change the scorelines from cut to score and to attach them.
AND remember to change the numbers from cut to write and attach them.
Here are the cut out pieces – I used Close To My Heart cardstock in Pixie, Desert Sand, Ruby, White Daisy, Black, Slate, and some of the Fundamentals patterned paper.
This is the first panel that goes in the front of the box card. On the left are the pieces and on the right they are adhered to the base.
Above is the box card base – the top pic shows the pieces – the bottom pic shows them adhered to the base.
This is the second panel. The left pic shows the pieces and the right shows them attached to the panel. I messed up the glasses . . . yeah, it happens. I put the back pieces on backwards – you should see plain pink paper, not patterned paper. I filled in the lenses with CTMH Liquid Glass to make it look like glass.
Isn’t this so cute???? The mirror is a piece of foil paper from my stash.
Here’s the assembled base with the first insert attached. Keep folding the base back and forth while the glue is drying to make sure the card will fold flat in the envelope.
The left pic shows the second panel ready to go in. The middle pic shows a front/top shot with the second panel attached. And the right pic shows a side view of the card.
Here’s the finished box card. I love SVGCuts card files!!!!!
Above is a screen shot of the Star Wars storm trooper cards I made for my grandsons – both are Star Wars Lego fans. I uploaded a storm trooper pic from Google Images and used the Print and Cut feature in Cricut Design Space.
I cut out the letters on the front pink piece – you’ll be able to see white through the words – the text is a system font called Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold – Regular. The text on the inside is a Cricut font called All Mixed Up in a writing style.
This is one of the finished cards. I popped up the storm trooper on the front, attached the red layer, and that’s it! Easy peasy!!!!
