3-D, Pop-up Birthday card : 'Happy Birthday Mom'!!!

Hello everybody, good to meet you all after a long time. After a wonderful 'valentine's day special' series, 'Something Different' has brought for you another tutorial of making a cute pop-up, 3-D birthday card. Actually my mom's birthday is nearing, so I have prepared this card specially for her. <3




Here goes the tutorial :

Step 1 : Take a rectangular piece of white drawing paper of size 11 cm x 30 cm.

Step 2 : Mark all the lines as shown in image below, at given distances.


Step 3 : Cut along the dark straight lines only. Fold lines shown by (-----) in outward way (i.e. towards you). And fold lines shown by (---x----x---) inwards away from you. This is most important step. So make sure you make appropriate folds along the drawn lines only and not the rest of the card area.


Result will look something like this.


Step 4: Paint painted tiers of cake on a different sheet. Each tier has a size little bigger than our basic 3-D shape. (Alternatively, you can paint on the basic 3-D shape itself). Then paste the tier-cutouts on each of the steps of 3-D shape.


Step 5: Then decorate the card as you wish and write some sweet message on it. Taken another rectangular piece of pink drawing paper with size 12 cm x 31 cm. And then paste our 3-D card on it keeping some edge allowance.


Step 6: Make some simple decorations on the front side of the card. And there you have it! A sweet, simple looking, 3-D pop-up birthday card! :)



Happy crafting you guys!! :)
