REVISED wedding pop up card that originally appeared in 2010
This is the supplemental wedding card I made for my friend who originally got a non pop up card for her wedding. She gave me a sad puppy dog look, so...yeah.
It's a straight-forward origamic architecture design.

The file set includes the cake with wavy uprights and the one with straight uprights. I like the wavy one better because it looks more like icing.

Cut on black lines, score and fold on red lines.
The scallops are separate overlays cut out and adhered to the tops of the layers. The inspiration for these came from Monica's laced frame #31.
Scalloped overlays are included in the file set. (NEW files improved to cut more smoothly.)
Set the size of the scallops file so that the sizing rectangle matches the outline rectangle of the cake file. I set mine to 9" tall.
This video (not my video) shows how to fold each tier. It's a house pop up , but the roof is folded exactly the same way as a cake tier. (Start watching at 2:40).
The flowers are my old favorites from the seven flower pop up.
On the front of the card was a custom portrait by my daughter, who used to draw caricatures at a theme park.
Check out the straight-sided ones made by Chris.
Isn't it fabulous in chocolate?
