A Clever Card That ‘Loads’ as It’s Being Pulled Out of the Sleeve
Here’s a clever idea we’ve never seen before: a card that “loads” as you open it. Pull the card out of the sleeve and watch as the progress bar magically “works.”
Making these cards yourselves isn’t difficult (but it is a bit time consuming). You’ll need a printer, scissors, tape, and an X-Acto knife:
This same idea could be used to make a “Loading Photo” card. You’ll just need to make sure that the portion of the insert under the loading bar is a plain color (you might want to print your photo above the bar).
In addition to making a nifty greeting card, this could also be a neat idea for some kind of business card or promo — just put your photo on one side and other information about you on the other.
Head on over to the original tutorial on Instructables for a step-by-step look at how this particular card was made.
