A Pop Up Cake for Taylor

This is the card for Taylor - she loves Elmo!The "2" on the front spins!!!!

See?

When the card is opened, a Pop-Up Cake with Elmo peeking out at the top left corner is revealed.

Here is a closer look at the cake. Tip: Cut the top of the cake so it is not more than 1" high otherwise it will peek out of the card when it is closed.

Here is the back of the cake:

And here is Elmo: Face is using the Scallop Circle Punch. 1/2" Punch used for the eyes and Nose. 1/4" Circle Punch used for the pupils. For the mouth, use a 5/8" Circle Punch and cut in half.

Here's what it took to make this card. See the strips for the cake? To enable these strips to wrap around the cake more easily, they are "curled". (run the strips of paper in between 2 fingers: just like curling ribbon)

This is how the "spinner was made. It uses 2 real pennies with a dimensional in between to enable it to spin.

  • Stamps: Happy Everything, On Your Birthday, Dot Background, Schoolbook Serif Numbers (asterisk), "2" Mixed Font (making Memories)
  • CS: Real Red, Only Orange, Summer Sun, Whisper White, Going Grey, Black
