Oct to Leslie - pop-up cards

I liked this idea when I did one like it for Kate, in June - so I tried it again. I chose a name with no curves. Of course, any name can be done with no curves. S is usually curvy. It's one of the easier ones to un-curve. No - that's not right - any letter is easy to do in a block format. These letters look like jelly beans. They were fun to do. The shading is a nice touch to make them look a little 3D.

Here is something fun to try. Elod Beregszaszi has a website where you can purchase files and print out cards - cut and fold - and make pop-up cards. He also has YouTube videos with demonstrations if you are new to pop-ups. 

CAUTION - if you become obsessed with pop-ups - and spend hours upon hours cutting and folding you will probably do serious damage to a joint or more than one joint. I blew out my elbow when I was in my 50s and have had to be very careful to limit my cutting ever since.

LINK to the main website It looks like Elod has one free template to download. I did not try to download it - so can't guarantee that it will work. Scrolling down - it doesn't look like he has updated since 2021 - so this might be a defunct website - but I am leaving it in - because there are probably a lot of pop-up ideas if you care to Google them and when this post pops up I might need an idea for chore avoidance.
