À petit bruit

1 Design Per Day VINTAGE A Little Hut How About Orange a pretty cool life. Ripe Green Ideas How I made my swingin' pop-up invitations | Offbeat Bride Tribe member Melaina not only made these rad wedding activity books for the children, but she also made some seriously awesome pop-up wedding invitations. We figured, not only would you want to ogle them, but you may want to attempt to make something like them yourself. So Melaina was nice enough to hook us up with a "how to." We can't wait to see what eye-popping invites y'all come up with now! So without further ado, take it away Melaina! What you will need: First, you need to decide what you want to pop-up. Next I cut around each image with a pair of long-nosed scissors. I took advantage of the curvature of the nail-cutting scissors to help with the curved parts of the image and flipped the scissors around when the image curved in the opposite direction. Next I printed (also onto card stock) the background for the pop-up onto the top half of the page and the text for the invite onto the bottom half of the page. This enabled me to draw a line parallel to the fold. And voila!

Oh Happy Day!
