Card Making With Every Day Pop-Up Cards Cricut Cartridge

It was not a very nice weekend here~full of rain and cold and no sun.  BUT, it made for a good weekend to make cards!  My birthday was this weekend and I got the new Everyday Pop-Up Cards Cricut Cartridge..Admittedly, this is not an easy cartridge to use!  There is not much online about how to use this cartridge yet.  It is a cool cartridge, but a little puttsy with putting on the layers and attaching the pop up part of the card on the inside. This is the kind of card you only give people who appreciate your home-made cards!!!



Everyday Pop-Up Cards

Page 24     The card is 5 inches and the elephant on front is 3 1/2 inches---the cool thing about this cartridge is the way the card bases cut out--this one has these cool tabs on the bottom.




This is the inside of the card with the pop up  "thanks a ton"   It is not the easiest to photograph!




I think this next card is one of my favorites ever!!  It is on page 25 of the handbook--I love the zig zag on the bottom of the card base and how I added the print cardstock under it.  The sewing machine is sooo cute!






The inside says "thank you sew much"  I did spritz it with Glimmer Mist, it's just hard to see on camera.



The next card is found on page 27 and is the gift card.  The layers on this card are really fun.



You probably can't read it, but the pop up says "surprise"




The flower box is found on page 48--How cute is this?????   I added some grass using my Martha Stewart scissors---I did not add a pop up to the inside--honestly, cause I couldn't figure it out!  I am patiently waiting until Provo Craft releases the instructions for this cartridge! 



this graduation card is for my son who is graduating from 8th grade.  It's onto high school next year! I love how easy the hat is to layer---




the inside I stamped with a stamp I had. 


thanks so much for checking out my blog!!!  I love having you visit and any comments--if you have any tips or tricks on using this cartridge, please let me know!!  :)
Happy Crafting

  1. Seriously, could your cards be any more cute? That cartridge does look like a tough one to master, but if anyone can do it, it'll be you! Excited to see you soon!
