Pop Up Barn Card Tutorial

Hey there or should I say “Hay there” like the sentiment that’s on the card I’m sharing today. I have a very simple tutorial for you with Lori’s Pop Up Barn Card, (or here in the Silhouette Design Store ). These pop up cards are just so cute and you can create them in just a matter of minutes. Check out the bundle here in Lori’s Shop .

First thing, ungroup your design and separate the pieces like below. One of my favorite things about Lori’s files is that they are color coded. It just makes things so much easier and quicker. Find your papers and get to cutting. Now I didn’t use the cute little chicken, I decided to use a little dimensional cow sticker.

Here you can see all my cut pieces laid out. Notice the little scored rectangle in the center of the yellow cut out. That’s the trick, it’s the piece that makes the inside pop up.

Next fold that little pop out rectangle so that it sticks out into the center of the card. You want to glue the yellow piece into the card base. You don’t want to glue that rectangle down or you have to start all over, lol.

I have it written here for you for where to add your adhesive.

Once you’ve got the insert of your card adhered you can add your pop up, you just want glue just on the front of your little box…where the chicken or the cow goes. I added baby powder to the back of my sticker and just left it sticky on the front of the little box.

Here’s the front.

And here’s the inside with the cute little pop up. How fun is that? Your recipient will love it! They fold flat for mailing and pop up with the surprise when opened. So many pop up designs in Lori’s Shop have this same concept. Once you master one, you can create ’til your heart’s content.
