The Relic Light Up Pop Up Card

Here is my “relic” for this year’s #LightUpPopUpTober event. Another geometric abstract take like last year’s Spiral Crystal card. This pop up has integrated electronics, including a switching mechanism, flat battery, and a heartbeat pulse LED Circuit Sticker. The pyramid and pieces of the base card are all laser cut. I used diffraction grating material to get the rainbow effect.

There is a longer write-up on my blog:

… and a ~10 minute process/build video on my YT channel:
