Hello fellow KnK-ers!
I know it seems a little early to be sharing an Easter Card but I’m sure it will be here before we know it, I’m certainly looking forward to Spring and the warmer weather it will bring 🙂
I used Make the Cut’s new Popup Card Studio to make the insert for my card today and then designed the card front in Make the Cut, the Cut File for both the insert and the card front is available at the end of today’s post (mtc format only today).
These are the Materials I used:
- My Fabulous Zing
- Make the Cut Software
- Make the Cut’s Popup Card Studio Software
- Worldwin Cutmates & Colormates Cardstock
- Various Adhesives
These are the Zing Settings I used:
- Blade = Standard
- Blade Height = 25 post-it notes
- Offset = 0.30
- Speed = 10
- Force = 65
- Passes = 1
Pic 1. The picture below shows all of the pieces you will need for today’s card. I cut a piece of Worldwin Worldwin Colormates Smooth & Silky Card in half to make a 6 inch square card, all of the other pieces were cut from Worldwin Cutmates Cardstock which I love as it cuts like a dream! As the card insert is quite intricate I definitely recommend Cutmates for this:
Pic 2. Starting with the card front, I glued the 2 card front layers together and also the 2 sentiment layers:
Pic 3. Next I adhered all of my scene pieces to the card front panel, they slot together like jigsaw pieces:
Pic 4. I popped my sentiment into place with some 3d foam pads and the card front is done, I set it aside for attaching to the card base after the insert had been added:
Pic 5. Moving onto my card insert, I carefully folded along all of the perforated lines until it looked like this:
Pic 6. I attached double sided tape to just one side of the pop up insert and placed it into the card base, next I added tape to the other side of the insert and closed the card onto it to ensure perfect placement:
Pic 7. Once the insert has been added to the card I can go ahead and pop the card front onto the card base with 3d foam pads, Here’s how the completed card looks:
Pic 8. …and here’s how the inside looks:

Hi Bird – WOW – another fabulous project, thank you for sharing. I am wondering if there is a way I can convert the cut file to SVG for use in the Silhouette? Thanks very much.
