Today I have a fun giveaway that includes a paper lamp kit and a copy of the book Playing With Pop-ups both by Helen Hiebert. Leave a comment in today’s post by January 23, 2015 and you will be in the running. Open to U.S. residents only please.
Envelopes are fun to work with because they come in a variety of colors and sizes, and other papers can easily be slipped into the pocket. This clever piano hinge allows the panels of the mini folding screen to flex in both directions, enabling the screen to be displayed in a variety of ways, or even folded into a box-shaped lantern. Choose patterns reminiscent of stained glass, slip decorative papers inside, and set the screen in a spot where it can catch some light. This project is for ages 13 and up. Finished size is approx. 6? x 20? x 4?.
This kit includes:
(4) A7 envelopes
Japanese lace paper
leaf stencils
template for hinge
bamboo skewers
Helen has designed a bunch of cool paper kits. You can see her others at her website Helen Hiebert Studios.

When I was small I was so intrigued with pop up cards. Later I saw pop ups in books but never had one. As an adult I always give the new baby books and make sure one is a pop up if there was one around. I made one card that was a pop up for my daughter but never saw any as exciting as the ones that are pictured here. I would love to create some of these.
Traci says
