Make Your Own White House Pop-Up Card

[ 5 ] 1.17.2009 | Anisa Raoof

I taught a pop-up workshop at Kreatelier today. Although the kids could choose any theme for their card, several chose to make the White House in honor of Inauguration Day on January 20, 2009. Look how great how they came out!

We are in DC for the big event – lots of inauguration “stuff” for sale everywhere you go but nothing as appealing as your students pop-up cards. Brilliant.
