Pop-up lotus flower wedding invitations #Invitations#custom invitations#diy invitations#invitations Updated Oct 12 2015 (Posted Jul 12 2010) Megan Finley Horowitz meggyfin OBT member Stella hand made her wedding invitations and added this beautiful pop-up lotus detail which is freaking AWESOME! Here it is in all its glory… Pretty cool, right!? I've never thought of adding a pop-up element to wedding invites before so these just got me all excited. Stella was also kind enough to include a link to a template for the pop-up flower and a ton of other nifty pop-up templates for all sorts of occasions. (I wish we had used the pop-up shark for our invites now!) Reporter Name * Reporter Email * Original text Enter the original text here. Edited text* Enter your suggested copyedit here.

Ours have a pop-up proscenium arch with a little fabric curtain. Reply Holy Cannoli! That's a great idea! Pop-ups are so fun, they remind me of being a kid 🙂 Reply I received one of these invites and I can assure you all the real object is WAY cuter than any picture can get across!! I love how much effort Stella has gone to making her beautiful pop-ups, now I can't wait for the wedding!! Reply *Blushes* Naaaw, thanks Queen of Radtown! Reply One word: AWESOME! Who wouldn't love getting a pop-up wedding invitation?! Reply amazing job stella! Reply Cheers JE$S! I really enjoy typing the dollar sign in your name! lol Reply My eyes popped out when I opened OOB and this was at the top! I love it, it looks great! Reply OMG. I am. SO. Doing this. Thanks so much! I'm obsessed with lotuses. Reply Thanks ladies! Lotuses are the best, I'm making a heap of origami lotuses for wedding decorations, favors & centrepieces! I'm also trying to grow some in a little pond in my yard……its easier to make 'em out of paper! Reply I really want pop up invitations but can't find anything suitable for our wedding in templates. If anyone sees any tree pop ups, or lanterns.. please let me know!! Reply Hi Fate! I had a quick look through some templates on the net, I couldn't find a tree (except for Christmas trees http://bucarotechelp.com/expressions/93010201.asp) or lantern pop-op template, but I did find a video that shows you how to make a pop-up card with any image you like! http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-make-pop-up-card-for-any-occassion-317206/ I didn't get to watch the full vid (my internet is slow), but I'm sure some experimentation with the tute will get you close what you want.. I reckon you local library might have some books on the subject as well 🙂 Happy Popping! Reply Woah, what a coincidence! I just made a card using the same template a few days ago (for a family member's birthday). It's super-easy and really pretty. If you look up "pop-up card" on WikiHow there are a bunch more, too. Reply Awesome! How funny 🙂 I was a little intimidated as the template had like 30 steps, but your right it is super easy. I'm going to have a look on Wikihow right now! Reply great touch! Reply This is so cute! We're loving it. Reply I love what you did! The colour looks terrific too. We have a popup invitation which we artwork to suit the colour and theme of the day, I haven't seen one like this though – well done. Reply I know this post is 3 years old now, but I really love this idea. I'm a bit disappointed the links are broken.
