I 'Whaley' Love You! Card

It is that time of year again! The time when we get an extra excuse to tell others how much we love them. I am a fan of doing things to show love all year round, but that doesn't mean we can’t have some extra fun with Valentine's Day!

I have been waiting to use this design for months as a Valentine Card and I LOVE how it turned out! It can be for any gender and any age, so have fun with it!
Below is a list of the items I used to make the card and a fun tip on how to make the waves look great and crisp!

Supplies:

o   I 'Whaley' Love You design from Rivka’s Renditions
o   Silhouette Users: I whaley love you
o   All other SVG Users: I whaley love you
o   4”x12” White Cardstock (folded in half vertically)
o   4 – 4”x2” Strips of Blue Cardstock (for the waves)
o   Washi tape, glue, foam squares, & Copic markers
o   ¾” circle paper punch
Tips & Tricks!

Making crisp and pointed waves – Have you ever tried cutting waves out by hand? You finally get it down and then they don’t look even, or they get all bent. Well here is a way to have some fun waves with crisp edges! Take a circle paper punch and turn it upside-down (so that you can see where the paper is). Only put the paper in about half way so that you are in essence creating a half circle. Overlap the circles as you cut them so they create the peaks. You can make the waves close together or far apart by moving where you punch the paper.

Hi Everyone! Wow it's been a long time. We have been very busy adjusting to our new neighborhood and remodeling our new home. It's coming along, but there is still a lot more to do.

Pop Up cards Tutorial

I'm sorry everyone, I really thought I did this years ago. Maybe it was accidentally deleted. Well here it is again. Follow these guidelines for all the pop up cards. cut out all your shapes and remove any negative space that will not be part of the finished design, like the inside of letters, between the letters and the cake decorations. fold the backing along the perforated lines glue around the outside of the design and the bottom part. For the other pop up cards (valentine, train, spring, etc) glue the parts that will not be protruding (in between the letters) glue the front to the backing sandwich the paper with the opening away from you = down sandwich with the opening toward you = up fold along the perforated lines. For the birthday card you will be folding, from the bottom of the design,  up, down, up, down, etc. Sort of like an accordion. The card will start to form a right angle as you go. When you fold the card closed you will want
