Sesame Street Birthday Pop-up

Today is my niece's first birthday and I wanted to:

use the Sesame Street cartridge,

make a pop-up, and

try the pop-up layering technique

With that said this is the card that I created. Not too terribly bad for a first attempt, but it was time consuming. Will I try it again? Of course! I loved the way that it turned out - even if it isn't "perfect".


My only complaint - every picture I took washed out the colors.........I really need to invest in a better camera.

My finished card measures 6 1/2" x 5". The characters were each cut at 2 1/2", the cake and the balloons were cut at 1". The banner was computer generated but is also at 1" tall.

If you would like a copy of the tutorial please see the tutorials tab.



UPDATE: I am so excited because this card actually made the August 3rd edition of the Cricut Chirp newsletter. This is the 2nd time that I have had this honor and man is it exciting to see that my work was chosen with all the hundreds of projects that were posted on the boards that week. http://www.cricut.com/newsletters/volume.aspx?ID=195
