When I discovered that my son in law enjoys playing the Pokemon Go! game, my immediate reaction was, "Yaas! He's getting a Pokemon card for his birthday!" Wanted it to be an interactive card so I decided to do another
Spinner Square Pop Up card using
Karen Burniston's die.
As the card is opened, the panel that shows through the window on the front of the card pops forward, and a "spinning" arm makes Pikachu, together with a Pokeball and the sentiment appear from behind it. Very cool!
For the Pokemon, I chose to put together paper piecings of Squirtle, Charmander, and of course Pikachu using SVG cutting files purchased on Etsy.
Then, inspired by a free printable
Pikachu Valentine card designed and shared by
Paula Biggs, I created a similarly styled Pikachu gift card holder to go with the Pokemon card. Always kind of fun when I can get everything to tie in to the same theme.

Your creations are amazing! The Pokemon themed card and gift card holder are outstanding and sure to please your son-in-law. The accuracy of the images is unbelievable. Hos do you do it? Your handcrafted artwork is so much better than any store bought mass-produced card.
Would love your svg for the first pokemon card, do you sell this anywhere?
Lauren Hubert the card style was created using Karen Burniston's square spinner die. See her tutorials on how to recreate this card style. The Pokémon svg cutting files were purchased online from Etsy. Do a search on Etsy and you should come up with several choices.
