Once I uploaded the file, the first thing I did was ungroup the image and concentrate on the parts that have score lines. In other words, the card base & pop up middle section. As for all SVGs with score lines, you must select the lines and change them from cut to score. Once you do that, you need to attach those score lines to the base. Hopefully the picture below gives you an idea of what I’m talking about.
The good news is that the cut file also comes with directions to assemble the card. They are really easy to follow!
I changed the colors to different shades of purple to customize the card and then clicked on the make button.
These are all the pieces laid out and ready to adhere. One thing to remember is to adhere the top panels upside down (if you’re using directional patterned paper) on the opposite side of the bottom papers. See below.
I used my bone folder to crease all the score lines on both the card base and the middle pop out section.
Add strong adhesive to the tab; fold the card on the second score line from the left edge; and line up the bottom edge to adhere.
The middle pop out section is similar. Two of the layered images are adhered on one side and the middle balloon cluster is adhered to the back side.
This design is so clever and eliminates any guesswork on image placement. It basically folds up into a Z shape. Again, use the bone folder to crease the score lines.
I’ve never seen an easy design like this. It’s so clever!
Add adhesive to the tabs (two on the left and one on the right) and place them in the middle of the card base.
The basic design is so cute and festive, and I just couldn’t stop there!
I decided to add a few more elements to the front to customize the card for my granddaughter’s 15th birthday. I used some elements from Cricut Design Space and added some sparkly glitter glue to really jazz it up!
I also added a blank white panel to the back (I used the same cut as the long back rectangle) so I could write a note.
