Pop Up Card: Pop Up Penguin

Since yesterday we post about a pop up card, so for an activity with my daughter and my wife we decided to do one. We cut a black paper in a shape of a penguin and paste it on a card which where drawn by my wife a panorama of a pole.

My daughter love the card very much. :-)

Origami Info: Pop Up Cards

picture source: cp.c-ij.com

Pop-Up Cards are basically cards that, once opened, have a picture coming outward, giving the reader a surprise.

Pictures and printed messages in greeting cards come in various styles, from fine art to humorous to profane. Non-specific cards, unrelated to any occasion, might feature a picture (or a pocket to paste in a personal photograph) but no pre-printed message.

Although it is difficult to make, this card is unique because it involves accurate paper folding and cutting, gluing, sewing and paper engineering, it is a very exciting for the card receiver and is great for surprising someone especially kids and girls.

A various website offer a range of template, tutorials, tips and tricks on making this card. This are a few of it:

• Creative Popup Cards
• Canon Creative Park
• robertsabuda.com (my favourite so far as it has simple template for kids to construct a simple pop up card.)
• extremecards.blogspot.com

 Do try some of them.

Happy folding,
