Every year I try to make very personally relevant birthday cards for my nieces. Whatever they are interested in at the moment becomes the theme. I also challenge myself to make them different and as "cool" as an old lady like me can achieve. The current area of interest is Selena Gomez. Job 1: find a good image. Luckily with the internet being what it is, this is not a difficult task. Job 2: make the card. This part was really hard. I took about 4 hours putting this one together. I added some stuff after the basic card took shape. This is also the second go at it. I hope she likes it.
And then when it's opened.
Here are a couple more views.
If you want to make pop-up cards of your own a really good set of books is The Pocket Paper Engineer, Volumes 1 and 2. You can get them at Amazon and at Indigo and there is more information at their site,
Popular Kinetics Press. I picked up both books at the Smithsonian last summer.
