Thispop-up birthday cake card design is FREE. If you like it, please consider sharing it with your friends on Facebook or Pinterest (there are sharing buttons at the top of the post). My compensation is seeing people make my designs and being happy. (Seriously!)

Load your fine-point blade and cut your cardstock (I use Medium Cardstock in my Custom Material Settings in Cricut Design Space). If you have any issues cutting the intricate letters, be sure to read my Cricut Cutting Problems guide for ideas.

Next, put your small cake round on top over the tab at the top of the cake support, and slide the side supports into the slots on the top of the large cake round. Glue the tabs of the side supports to the bottom of the large cake round, as shown below.

At this point, you can decorate your cake as you please. I was in the mood to make a daisy cake, so I included little daisies you can glue on if you wish. If you decide to make more elaborate decorations, I recommend you glue them on while the cake sides are flat.

Now, fold the outer card in half along the score line. Then glue the bottom of the cake plate to your outer card. I recommend you attach it while the card is opened and perfectly flat, making sure you line up the creases in the cake plate with the creases in the card.

I think this pop-up birthday cake card is SO much fun! And I realized, after I made it, that you could use it for a wedding cake card, too! I may have to make a design just for that in the near future.

Cricut insert cards can be made a few different ways, on any Cricut cutting machine. The process varies a bit depending on which machine, materials, and tools you have, and the tutorial covers a few combinations of a sweet and simple card design.

NOTE: For directions on using the cards with the 2x2 mat, follow the same steps as my Cricut Insert Cards 2x2 Mat tutorial. To cut the cards on a Joy, you can use an Insert Card on a Joy Card Mat. Remember to slide the card's back under the protective sheet!

Since we want the Cricut to write our words, we need to tell the machine to use the pen instead of cutting these lines. Use the drop-down box under Operation to select "Pen." We can also designate a pen type and color by clicking in the color box to the right. I'll stick with a black fine point pen for this card. Then, under Style, select "Writing."

Drag the text into position, over the top of the bunny, then we'll make it the right size and shape. The diagonal cuts are where the card insert will attach on the back, so we don't want to write over them.

With the lock icon above Size closed, you can click and drag any corner of the bounding box until the text size looks good. Or, change the "W" field under Size. I changed my size to 3.5" and like the result.

Now we can leave it like this, but I'm going to show you how to curve the text using the Curve feature in Design Space. Click the Curve icon in the top menu. If you click and drag the circle along the slider to the right with the positive numbers, the outer edges of your text will curve down. If you move it to the left with negative numbers, they will curve up. To start the curve process over, enter "0" in the field to the right.

Since we want to write in the opposite curve, click the Curve icon again. To get the exact opposite of what you already see, click in the text field and add a minus sign (-) to the left of the "7" or the number you used for the top.

Click the Shapes icon to the left of the Canvas. Select the square shape in the Free section to add it to the Canvas, the one with the sharp edges, not the curved edges. If you're using the same design size as me, keep the lock icon closed and type "4.5" into the "W" field under Size.

NOTE: If you're using a different size card, determine the final size of your card. Then, use the previous steps to add a square to the Canvas that is .25" smaller in height than your card.

You can use the color box next to Operation to change the Insert's color. To see the final look and get a preview of your card, drag it into place over the bunny, then click "Arrange" and "Send to Back." Now you can see the Insert through the bunny shapes. Remember, the corners of the Insert will come through the corner cuts and be visible on the front for a nice detail.

For now let's group everything together by clicking "Select All" at the top and "Group" in the layers panel. Then we will hide this card for now by clicking on the eye icon next to it in the layers panel so we can work on making a custom card. We'll cut both at the end.

This will require the use of the "Slice" feature in Design Space. At the time of this tutorial, this feature does not work correctly with the dashed cut lines, so upload the "score-tool" version and add it to your Canvas. Zoom out if needed.

In the main panel on the left, you can see the design as it exists now in shades of gray. To the right, you can see the different cut shapes that make up the card and design. Basically, you can tell the Cricut to ignore some shapes or remember to cut them by clicking on them in the main panel or the side section. This is a great way to make variations on a design without changing the original SVG since it's all reversible.

If you click on a shape to remove its contour, it will become lighter in the main panel but darker in the list to the side. You can use either the panel or the list to turn contours off and on. For this example, click the two shapes that create the elephant.

Make sure the corner cuts and card shape are still active, then click the "X" at the top of the Contour tool window to accept the changes. Now you can see the result on the Canvas! The elephant and word are gone. How cool is that!

It's a good idea to look at some existing Insert Card designs before picking your art. Due to the techniques used, it's best to pick images without floating pieces. And remember that it needs to fit within the corner cuts, so don't try to squish in a really intricate design. Once you've practiced a few times with simple images like I'll show you, you can confidently experiment with more art!

Make sure the score line is where it belongs in the center of the card, if not select everything on the canvas, click Align and Center. Finally with everything selected, click Attach at the bottom of the layers panel.

For the cards, I found that the "Cardstock (for intricate cuts)" setting worked best. To find it, click "Browse All Materials" and type "Intricate" in the search bar. Then select the result, click Apply, and leave the Pressure at "Default."

Once the mat is finished, unload it, flip it over on your workspace, and gently roll a corner back to release the cardstock. Complete the process for the rest of the mats, loading the colors in the order indicated on your screen.

A: You can use several different materials to create Cricut cards! My favorite things to use are cardstock with a Cricut StandardGrip machine mat and Cricut Insert Cards with a Cricut Card Mat.

I love seeing what you make with my designs and how you use them! Please share a photo of your Cricut birthday cards with Cricut or another method in our Facebook group or tag me on social media with #jennifermaker.
