Spring Arch Fun Fold Card

Hi there, it’s Dorlene and I’m excited to announce that I’m guest designing this month on the Printable Cuttable Creatables Blog. It’s Spring and a perfect time of the year for butterflies, flowers, sunshine and even rain. 

I decided to create a different kind of card to feature the Spring Butterflies SVG cut file. I’m calling it a flip out arch card. I don’t know the official name, but this one pretty much describes what it is.

After uploading the Spring Butterflies file into Cricut Design Space, I also uploaded the Spring Borders SVG cut file set. You don’t necessarily have to use this file, but it sure does add more Spring fun! The card base was also created in Cricut Design Space using their free shapes & score line.

You can watch the YouTube process video to help visualize how it was made:

After everything was cut out with the Cricut, as always, I put the small pieces together to create the images.

The butterfly is so pretty with three different shades of yellow to create more dimension and interest. I love it!

As shown in the video, layer and adhere the different Spring Borders to the inside and also the open arch shape that is the card front.

I used foam adhesive to place the butterfly within the arch; added sequins; and stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment to finish the card.

I love, love, love how this turned out! Making the base was so easy on Cricut Design Space!
