Pop up card using vintage graphics of Venice, Italy on an origamic architecture base card.
Hand or machine cut.
How to Make a Venice Pop Up Card
Make It!
Scale the graphic to 8" wide (height will be approximately 5.65").
If you can, scale without resampling as that will increase the resolution of the picture.
Cut out the pieces:
--cut each individual house out, discarding the grey rectangles and triangles connecting the pairs of houses.
--create a tab on the bottom of the largest boat when you cut it out.
If you have a Silhouette machine (or other machine) and would like a print-and-cut file, please email me (click the "contact" tab for my address). Or I separate out the vector cut-lines, if that works better for you.
