“Thank You” Pop-Up Card

I needed a Thank You card and I wanted to play with the Silhouette HD cutting machine, so here’s what I came up with!

Supplies:

• white cardstock
• patterned paper from Hot Off the Press
• Silhouette Popup Designs:
  • Paisley Pop-up
  • Pop-up Thank You Card
• Sticky Thumb Glue
• Fiskars Paper Edgers Scissors
• Invitation-size white envelope

Instructions:

1. First I cut out the two Silhouette pop-up designs on patterned paper. I folded the Thank You pop-up on the score lines and adhered it to a folded cardstock card.
2. I cut the other part of the Thank You pop-up cut-out in half and adhered it to the other sides of the folded cardstock card.
3. Next I cut a strip of a coordinating patterned paper with scalloped scissors and adhered it to the front of the card.
4. I also added the Paisley Pop-up to the front of the card and curled up the pop-ups.
5. I created some WordArt on my computer using Photoshop CS3 and printed it on pink paper.
6. I cut around it with the scalloped scissors. Then I used a scrap piece of the patterned paper but turned it around to the white side. I put it behind the scalloped wordart and cut it out a little large. Then it was adhered to the front of the card.
7. I also cut a scrap piece of the pink paper into an angled shape that fit inside the envelope, adhered it to the flap, and now I have a matching envelope for my card!
8. Now for a personal message and I’m ready to send it off!
