As you know, in all my loads of spare time lately, I've been messing around with pop-up cards. I like how this one turned out, but it would definitely be a VERY special occasion, as it was quite a bit of work (although it wasn't difficult). This is called a "platform" pop up, which is kind of fun! It is intended to have a gift card stuck to the platform with removeable adhesive. When I saw the platform, I thought it would make a cute cake stand, so that's how this turned into another wedding card.
Here's the side view. You can see how the platform itself pops from the bottom, and then the cake, added later, pops twice from the top side.
No photo tutorial on this one–just in too much pain this week from my dental fiasco. Having a hard time concentrating between the dull ache and the lightning bolt pains. I can't WAIT for this to be over! But don't be afraid to mess around and see how easy and simple it is to make a pop-up card. You might waste a little cardstock, but it's only paper!
Cool! Looks like a headboard and a sign on the wall behind it to me. 🙂
That would make an adorable Get Well card, Penni!
I assumed it was a bed with a headboard! I thought that was kind of a brazen newly wed card but kind of cute!! Maybe because I looked at the side view first… too funny!
Well, I guess I should have put a gift card on the platform on the sample as intended! How funny!
