An Explosion of Beauty with Cafe Parisian!
Our designers keep wow-ing with amazing pop-up inspiration! Today, Magda Cortez shows us a beautiful creation that truly will inspire you to try the pop-up phenomenon! We are so excited to share it with you today.
This pop-up project took lots of research and ingenuity, but Magda absolutely knocked it out of the park!
"Explosive Madness? Yes! It was a challenge for me to do this project but I’m very satisfied with the results.. After days and days watching YouTube videos, headaches, Insomnia, math, trigonometry and wasting a lot of paper trying different mechanisms I end up with my Explosive Madness in Paris! I love fussy cutting and I can tell this project has A LOT! I hope you enjoy my project and always remember if I can do it you can do it.. You just need to be patient.. Pop up also is called Paper Engineering.. but at the end making work all the mechanisms was worth." ~Magda
Tip: Add more visual interest to your covers adding envelopes or doilies it will give you more dimension.

Your design should be Project of the Year, if there was such a thing. You are amazing! I only wished you showed us your process of making the larger section of the pop up. But how you inspired me to try a large pop up even tho I've never made one before. Go big or go home right?
