Pop-up Greeting Cards

A totally new way to put my illustrations in the real world. An assignment to find a theme, target audience, and how to create a unique, working pop-up card. What better than to make the bible stories pop out and come to life in our own hands to open the minds of children.

I chose the well known stories of Noah’s Ark, David in the Lion’s Den, and Jonah capturing a very important moment where the characters recognize God’s glory even in the midst of turmoil. My target audience for these cards were children of 3-7 years old.

All illustrations done with watercolor and pen, then scanned into a computer to fine tune the colors and line edges with Adobe Photoshop.

In my creative process, I went through many different ideas before I settled with the bible stories. There were also thousands of different ways to have a pop-up effect, which played an unexpectedly huge role in the illustration planning.
