This initial swap is for advanced beginners, intermediate and up (message me if you're a novice for info on the next swap) Make an effortful, good looking pop-up or interactive mechanism in or on a card. No sentiments necessary. You can use any commercial card or substantial card stock as your base.

• The main point is making a functioning mechanism

• at minimum like these: https://www.youtube.com @thepop upchannel4919/videos

  • or up to a more polished mechanism like in the YouTube pop-up or interactive card samples above.
