Hello There Card

I’m sharing a Cutting File and assembly instructions to make this cute card – It’s perfect for many occasions and best of all – it’s quick and easy.

Supplies…….

3 Colours of Card stock |  Silhouette Studio File – see end of post for links  | Double Sided Tape  |  Double Sided Foam Tape & Squares  |  Glue Pen  |  Scissors  |  Silhouette Cutting Machine  |  Patterned Paper (optional)  |

Instructions:

•  Download & open the free file in the Silhouette Studio Software

Cut The Pieces:

• First cut the card base: Load the Black Card stock onto the cutting mat and into the Silhouette, then adjust the Cut settings in Silhouette Studio to correspond with the thickness of card stock being used.

• The files are laid out as in the screenshot below. Ungroup & move the other shapes off the Virtual Mat on the computer screen, leaving only the card base and select “send to Silhouette”

• Repeat again to cut out the Scalloped Borders, Squares and Text overlay with the contrasting cardstocks. Refer to the colour guide on the file (see screenshot above) & change cardstock on the real cutting mat and move the various shapes on or off the virtual cutting mat as needed.

• When removing the text panel from the cutting mat, keep the cut outs from the centre of “O” & “R” as they’ll be needed  later. You may be able to save the letters for another project too.

Assemble the card:

• Attach the White Text overlay to the Red backing Square. Use Double sided tape on the back over the solid areas and a glue pen around the intricate cut out sections near the letter cutouts.

• Change the style by using different materials. I love the Red, Black and White colour theme, but just for something different I made another version too.  This time I used a patterned paper instead of a contrast card, and added an extra scalloped border.

•  I attached woodgrain style contact paper to a piece of plain cardstock and then cut it all together using the heavy cardstock settings in the program.

•  Add an extra panel inside the blank card with a printed greeting or add a cut out sentiment or a sketch pen greeting. If sketching or printing, do it before you cut out the card base.

• Decorate the inside of the card:– I added a scalloped border & a heart to the inside of the Kraft card to pretty it up!
