There was an article in the weekend paper on how to make your own holiday pop-up card. Step one, get your supplies. Instead of doing that, I decided I would practice first. After reading and re-reading, turning the folded paper back and forth, up and down, front to back, back to front, I just couldn't figure out how to do the first step and where to cut the parallel slits. So I asked Tiffany if she would help interpret the instructions.
I'm so right-brained that I saw the writing on the wall. I'm not a technical person. I'll re-phrase that, I'm not a patient person with mechanical, or technical things. I was on the verge of slicing parallel slits in everything, including the wadded up paper that was to be my pop-up card.
The following photos will show Tiffany working with her "test" card. Patiently drawing, cutting, folding.
Just look at those nimble fingers.
Draw, snip, snip, fold, fold.
Glue, glue, test it. Yes, picture 3 is her pop up card, but wait...what is she doing in picture 4?
She added snippets of a magazine, and of a card and voila, Tiffany's pop-up card. She thinks that I took these pictures to show how she did it, but really it was for me to
remember how she did it. Good job, Tiffany you made a terrific pop-up card.
Let's see, picture one, how do I hold my fingers?
