Well, it’s my birthday today, so I scoured the web for a creative, handmade birthday gift tutorial. As quirky as it may seem, I settled on this handmade card, from the The Storque. Pop-up pirates are cool, right? I think so. And you don’t need much – just some card stock, construction paper, glue, scissors and couple of other odds and ends. And actually, this card is appropriate for any occasion, not just birthdays. You can download the full instructions (including templates) here.
