My first take at Popups and Kirigami

Its 2nd October, my sister's Birthday.

Here are few snaps of the Birthday card that I made for her.

This is the front of the card, its made out of paper cuttings.... this art is called Kirigami. It is a Origami variation, where u fold the paper and cut patterns out of them. The name was coined by Florence Temko. She used the word kirigami in the title of her book, Kirigami, the Creative Art of Papercutting, 1962. The book was so successful that the word kirigami was accepted as the name for the art of paper cutting.

Inside was a pop-up, again a type of paper art, A kin to Origami through which you can make 3D cards.
