Japanese Pop Up Greeting Card

Name:______________

Greeting Card - A greeting card is an illustrated, folded

card featuring an expression of friendship or other
sentiment. Although greeting cards are usually given on
special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas or other
holidays, they are also sent to convey thanks or express
other feeling.
Pop Up - The artistic aspect of paper engineering is related
to origami in that the two arts both employ folded paper.
However, origami in its simplest form doesn't use scissors
or glue and tends to be made with very foldable paper; by
contrast, pop-ups rely more on glue, cutting, and stiff card
stock. What they have in common is folding.
