Make a ‘Christmas Star’ pop up card
December 7th, 2008 by ricko
Happy Christmas everybody. Here’s a star raising pop up card for you, your friends, and family.
Being Christmas season, the pop-up celebrates the bright star that guided the three wise men to Bethlehem.
When you open the card the star rises above the mountain and arches across the sky. It’s based on a simple but very effective ‘moving arm’ pop up mechanism. It really IS easy to make (although your friends will probably be scratching their heads wondering how it’s done!). It’s also very robust and can be opened and closed countless times.

A Hint: You can print the card on dark paper if you wish, and then use gold paint to make the star really stand out.
Another Hint: Use crisp paper that is a bit tougher than photocopy paper. The moving arm mechanism will work flawlessly.
This card is just released . Be the first to leave a comment below and let me know how you go! Have a nice Christmas everybody.
