Halloween Pop Up Card Update

In Progress Pop Up Halloween Card

Sorry for the long delay in posting, folks.   Just wanted to let you know I am hard at work creating a new template for you.  Here is a sneak preview.  It isn't quite right yet, but it's getting there.



 Most of the architectural components have been designed by me, except for the grass and brick fills. The spiders, bats, cats and ghosts are images from the free Tuxpaint application available from http://tuxpaint.org .  The cat poster is from http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/ .  The pumpkins are from the Dover Pictura Store   http://www.doverpictura.com  .

I will be moving the pumpkin and tombstones around a little to add more stability to the pop out porch. There will be backing paper behind the door and a few more minor tweaks.  Please stay tuned. You will find more updates as they happen at  https://www.facebook.com/Ez3dPopUps  .

    I can hardly wait for this, Jean. Your work is fantastic! What did you use for the siding? I can't wait to see the finished product! Thanks for sharing!

      Thanks, Ronda! I tried to find a clapboard fill but I couldn't find one that worked, so I created a long skinny rectangle with a border, duplicated it and then stacked and grouped them to look like clapboard. The work is done in Pages from the Apple iWorks applications. The only fills I used on this card, are the bricks, grass , and door texture. The rest of the architectural components were created with shapes in the same way as the clapboard.

    Hi Jean,
    This is so great! I'm loving the changes you've made! It's been interesting to see the creative process you go through (via Fiskateers) to get to this point. You do amazing work! Thanks for sharing it with us.

    OMG! That is fantastic! You did a great job on it. I never did a full 3D project but I do so enjoy them. I am going to have to give it a try. I am going to follow by email so I don't miss anything more.

      Thanks, Sue. It isn't finished yet. I signed up for the blog and then realized I would have to do something more Orange, LOL. After the hop is done, I will finish clapboard house and upload the templates and tutorial.

    I think pop up cards are the best. Thank you for sharing.
