Another pop-up card
This one is the Bird Cage from Everyday Pop-up Cards by Cricut. I made this for my new Step-mother for mother's day. This is definitely one of the simpler pop-ups, but I enjoyed it!

I know there's a lot of trouble with this new Cricut cartridge, but I love it. I really do. I'm mechanical and spacial, so the challenge of no instructions is almost like a test. The Birds card was an easy one; the coffee cup was more of a trick! I hope you like what I did, and while I haven't made a video of it, you might be able to get the idea from the pictures. Thanks for visiting, and please comment if you like my work!
The coffee cup assembly comes with what looks like a random rectangular cut (also on the cupcake assembly). I sat with this for days, and ended up building the cup without it. After I assembled it, I realized that the rectangle was meant to be inside the coffee cup, to support the "coffee" and "steam" lid. Here's what it looks like with the lid off:
When the card folds, the internal support pulls the lid down and everything lays flat. Without it, the lid does not fully push up when the card is open:
Supported, the lid is slightly lower than the top of the mug, as though it really was an almost-full cup of coffee:
This really is a lovely design!
My measurements:
Standard A2 card (4.25"x5.5")
Coffee cup on front (base) cut at 3"
Phrase on front cut at 2"
Coffee cup inside (pop-up) cut at 3"
Suggestions: I feel that the coffee cup pop-up could likely be cut larger, at 3.5" or even 4". There's lots of room on the inside. However, at 3" it was not particularly hard to assemble if you could figure out all the bits. :-)
I hope that helps with a visual of what it should look like! I think this cartridge is really interesting, and I can't wait to give this card!

Lovebirds: Everyday Pop Up Cards
I'm very excited to get a new cartridge from Cricut, called Everyday Pop Up Cards. It's lovely, but sadly does not come with operating instructions! LOL. The "pop up" part is a little confusing, and since it's so new, there are very few tutorials. I made this card for my dad and his new wife with the intention of doing a photo tutorial, but honestly these things need a video! So, another day I'll try a different card and make a new video. However, there are quite a few different ways to assemble the pop-ups, with most cards having both an icon-type pop-up and a phrase pop-up, and each might be assembled/attached differently. I guess it's trial and error until Cricut puts out some instructions!
Anyhow, here's my card:
Here's the inside pop-up. Very cute, but a little hard to see in the photo, since it's white-on-white. The birds have dimensional wings, and the whole heart pops forward:
The attachment points on the back of the heart, and a view of the dimensional wings:
This was one of the cuts, but I simply couldn't figure out how to make it work correctly. The cuts on this key are for the heart, one bird, 2 wings, and a bird on a long tab. It's clear that the birds assemble into the heart where there are slits, but I'm not sure how to get the long tab to work so that the bird is "hovering" over the other. Perhaps I cut it too big??? So, I ditched that bird and recut the other in reverse, and attached him instead. I'm just as happy with the result.
A view, looking at the opened card, from another angle. Hard to see the white-on-white dimensional birds, but they do look great in person!
I think this cartridge is great, but I might wait for further instructions before I attempt some of these cards! However, very creative and I love the idea!
