A Card That Turns Into a Mini Garden

That’s a pretty fantastic greeting card combining my interests in papercrafts and interactivity with your audience. I almost wished I had done something like this for my collateral in college. But whose to say it’s not too late to build something like this now?

Personally, I think that they could have done a few things to make it better. I’m not sure what type of paper is used, but I’d be concerned about the paper getting too wet after a while. Although for all I know, it could be some sort of plastic stock or plastic coating so that concern could be a non-issue. But in case it is actually paper, I would consider using either plastic or using a peat round to grow the plants. Also, on the subject of plants, I’d rather see a variety of plants or maybe even herbs. Maybe I’m a bit too pragmatic, but the idea of having a little herb plant growing in your office seems refreshing to have, especially if your a tea drinker.

Anyways, spring is right around the corner so it may be something to consider…
