Countdown to mother's day

J has been playing with the Inspiration software, designing a pop-up card for his mother.  He did a pretty good prototype while he was at work and I was surprised to find out how well he can use the software that came with the PI.

While he was playing with the computer and cutting away, I went through my OA books, trying to find something similar he could use.

He dismissed all my suggestions, although he did get a few ideas about the construction of pop-up cards.  He actually created a pretty good design that works as intended, but in the end I think he got cold feet and went with one of the designs I had selected, scanned and vectorized on the laptop.

Sadly, I don't have pictures of the design he created or of the final card he made.  I do have a photo of another one I did when he was taking a break:
I used paper I got from when I signed up with Club Scrap.  The design is from the book A Paradise of Origamic Architecture by Chatani and Nakazawa.
