Z-FOLD POP-UP CARD

 


I designed this Z-Fold Pop-Up Card for a friend who has recently retired.  He is very active and loves to travel and play pickleball.  Card folds up nicely into a  5 1/2'' x  5 1/2'' envelope.  I used scraps from Graphic 45 for background pieces.  Ephemera is from clip art on the internet and brought into Photoshop for sizing and creating.


                                      This is the back where I layered a place for a sentiment.

CARD AND GIFT BOX

 


I originally saw this project a few years ago.  Sam Calcott had made several gifts with a Valentines theme for her friends.  I added my idea of making a wine theme with a small bottle of wine in the box. 


I used standard 65lb weight cardstock.  Background papers are from HSN designers.  The ephemera is from clip art on the internet.
