Pop-up wedding card
CLICK HERE for printer-friendly version
Send to friendI made this pop-up card for my nephew Brian and his long-time girlfriend Vanessa. They got married on Onset Beach in Massachusetts this past Friday.
This is a simple double slit pop-up with three generations. Each 'cake layer' is a generation. It depicts a wedding cake on Onset Beach.
I started with a couple of idea sketches in my sketchbook.
Then I made a quick prototype of the card using some scrap paper at the same size that the finished piece will be.
From this prototype I was able to determine the actual size of the cake width and height and then got on to making the final piece.
I used a black Sharpie and colored pencils. I drew, cutout and glued the piping, flowers, and the bride & groom.
I made an envelope from a letter sized piece of paper and cut out a window to show the front of the card.
It was a fun card to make.
