Introduction: Zelda Pop Up Card: Heart Container (Kirigami 3D) Valentine's Day Greetings How To!

About: Hello friends! On my instructorless page you will find origami, arts, and craft tutorials. While my older content is related to craft and origami, my newer posts will be about how to draw and paint. I will…

It's a pop-up card that will save your life for Valentine's Day! If you don't think that's going to fly, then you probably want a more traditional card.

Here is a link to the FREE Card Template (Check this link): http://quidprosno.deviantart.com/art/Zelda-Pop-Up-Valentine-Printable-283988934

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.

More about kirigami:

Kirigami (切り紙?) is a variation of origami that includes cutting of the paper (from Japanese "kiru" = to cut, "kami" = paper). It is also called "Kirie" (切り絵). From "Kiru"= to cut, "e"= picture.

Typically, kirigami starts with a folded base, which is then cut; cuts are then opened and flattened to make the finished kirigami. Kirigami are usually symmetrical, such as snowflakes, pentagrams, or orchid blossoms.

A difference between kirigami and the art of "pop-up" is that kirigami is made out of a single piece of paper that has been cut into a design. Pop ups can be made of several pieces glued together.

Mon-Kiri is the Japanese art of paper cutting.

lol yup, I have uploaded the rose card tutorial. You can find it in my published instructables page. If it's not realistic enough you can go for the origami approach. I have some tutorials for that as well.
