I’ve planned this pop-up invitation for so long, I couldn’t believe I finally pulled it off! First of all I have to come clean- not all of our many many guests got this version. Only 50 lucky people (family and close friends) received these hand-made beauties, while the rest of our guests got a delicate printed graphic interpretation of the same images. Another confession I must make- I didn’t do this alone. My good friend Avital was with me through the whole process…
The dancing couple are of course Ari and myself, so I was very pleased when people were able to recognize us easily. The figures and trees were laser cut and assembled by hand. We’re getting married at a place called “Baya’ar”, which means “In the Forest” in Hebrew. It’s a beautiful place at the heart of a forest, all surrounded by trees. The branches theme goes all the way to the center pieces at the wedding (and besides, I’m quite obsessed with branches graphics…).
The back of the invitations is made of textured card-stock in deep, dark purple. When you take it out of the envelope it’s blank, dark and unexpected, nothing prepares you for the surprising content… The envelopes and interior, as well as the laser cut images, are made of a special, silky-smooth ivory shaded paper. The invitation is both in Hebrew and Spanish, because Ari is from Uruguay (and because I found the symmetry lovely…).
Hope you love it as much as I do!
Big day is coming up real soon

רעיון סופר מקורי ונזמנה בלתי נשכחת
גללתי בבלוג המקסים שלך
כשקראתי על הרקע שלך, הבנתי מהיכן הדיוק והסדר בעבודות המקסימות שלך !ץ
מדהים!!!!!
איזו השקעה ואיזה תוצר עדין ויפהפה!
מזל טוב!!
וואו, יצירת אומנות!
אני מאוהבת בהזמנה- כל כך עדין ויפיפה!
איפה חתכת את הדגמים הקטנים מהנייר?
לשמחתי עברי כסטודנטית לאדריכלות לא היה לשווא, הפעלתי קשרים בבצלאל וחתכתי במכונת הלייזר של המחלקה לאדריכלות
יפיפה ומיוחד, גם לי יש חולשה לענפים… בטוחה שהחתונה שלכם תהיה יפה לא פחות
באמת הייתה חתונה מקסימה (והכלה אפילו עוד יותר) ולי היה ממש כיף לעבוד על זה איתך:-)
מזל-טוב שירונת (במלרע)
Your cards are beautiful. I love them. So, you used laser cut for the figures and trees. Can you tell me where you order those customized laser cut ? Thanks a lot
Well, i’ve created the Coral Draw file myself. A friend took our picture dancing, then I used Photoshop to create the sillohette. The tree sillohette- I simply draw by hand. My friend Avital helped me to create the full composition and turned both sillohettes into Coral file (you can use Free Hand or Illustrator programs). I took the ready made file for lazer cutting (Many places can give you this survice, just google it).
I guess that all you need to create this is a tallented friend who is a graphic designer or illustrator, to help with the graphic programs.
Hope I helped!
Would you maybe be willing to give me some tips on how you made this card? My youngest sister has fallen in love with them and is getting married next november.
Thanks for your help. Could you tell me what paper you used for the cut outs? They are two separate pieces right? Unfortunately, something about my computer won’t let me view Martha’s How-To.
They are beautiful! Congrats, It’s the first time I see pop up wedding invitations and they are wonderful.
