Zelda Pop-Up Valentine Heart Card

It's a pop-up card for Valentine's Day. For your valentine who would get an old Zelda reference, that is. If you don't think that's gonna fly, then you probably want a more traditional card.

For those of you scratching your heads, it's a combination of the guy in the cave who says this message and the heart container that gives you precious extra life.

The idea for this card comes from kate12345's Pixelated popup card Instructable.

Step 1: Print!

Print the attached PDF. Got it? Great!

Hey fungus amungus, just letting you know we had great fun making your pop-out pixel heart card and thought you might like to share the video tutorial we made for it: http://youtu.be/-Yh4EpI4wY4. Thank you!

This was a great instructable! Really easy! I used the template to make my own using card and it worked a treat :)

Nice!

Very nice man!

This is adorable, and my dork will love it. I am glad we decided to celebrate the weekend following Valentines Day this year, otherwise I never would've stumbled upon this gem!

Thanks!!

Nice! Also nice move on not doing it on the day where it feels so obligatory and less personal.

Where can i get a picture of the heart so i can print it?

Hello again,
Someone else made a zelda card from my template. Thought you might like to see.

That's awesome

This is awesome. I just made one for my girlfriend and i think she will love it. But one piece of advice. I suggest that you should add an outer layer to the card. I went to my local craft store, got a piece of paper with a pink flowery design on it (valentines right?) and glued the popup onto that. It makes it look like more of a card. But this still looks amazing. Thanks for posting it.

That would be Step 4

Although it is gray, black and white, it still is awesome.

Here we go:

Yay! You got all the little folds.

[jessyratfink]

Yes yes yes. Wonderful!

[fungus amungus]

Thanks! Sadly I'm not going to be giving his one to my wife. She's not as geeky as me. Still need to come up with something...

Thank you for sharing :)

I like this, but is it a good idea to put this in the same contest as the guy who made the original?

[fungus amungus]

I can't win anyway. I'm on the staff here. :)

[imshanedulong]

Oh ok!

[geo bruce]

is there software to design this?

[fungus amungus]

I just did this in Illustrator. Single layer stuff like this is pretty easy.

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing. :)
