Life Tip: Turn 57 to Receive a Card That Really POPS

              My maternal uncle's 57th birthday was coming up this last January, and his sister (my aunt) wanted me to create a unique pop up card for him. She actually commissioned me to do this, in fact. I really procrastinated on this one, but when I finally just sat down to make it, the paper-making just poured out of me. I had previously come up with the poetic wording for this card, a few nights before. Wording has never been difficult for me. So this card is really just an interactive pop up card. You read the front, open it up, and read the inside. You are then instructed (by the "Pull Forward") to pull the card up, and voila! it becomes a self-standing picture frame. Just like something you would have on your nightstand or in your living room. Everything in this card is made of paper. This idea of mine really came from a combination of pop-ups. At first, I really wanted the picture frame to come up all by itself. But I think this idea is innovative and pretty awesome anyway!
