Hello fellow geeks!
We hope you are all doing great. It's cold. It's wet. And it's been (or feels like) the longest month of all time - but stay calm, January is almost over!
Just in time for this weekend we want to welcome Cardology to The Geek Side. Cardology create amazing handmade pop up cards, right here in the UK. They have branched out into the Wizarding World and have created some officially licensed Harry Potter pop up cards.
We spotted these awesome cards on Instagram and we knew we had to have them! We got in touch and they told us we were on their list to contact in hopes we'd stock their amazing handmade cards. Two days later, they're in our store and ready to buy.
There are 6 designs to choose from (which we will show you below), which all include a note card that allows you to write your special message but keep it hidden when the card is on display. The revolutionary reversible packaging magically transforms into a Hogwarts envelope - meaning there is no waste!
Our Harry Potter Golden Snitch Pop Up Card is the perfect gift for a Harry Potter fan! The beautifully gold foiled cover reads "When caught by the seeker, their team gains 150 points...What's Inside?' eluding to the magic that awaits inside. When opened, up pops a 3D Golden Snitch on the oval shaped Quidditch pitch, in front of a backdrop of House Stands and three hooped goalposts. We've also included silhouettes of two Seekers, making this card a real work of art.
Our Harry Potter Hedwig Pop Up Card is the perfect gift for a Harry Potter fan! The beautifully gold foiled cover reads "Purchased by Hagrid in Diagon Alley as an 11th birthday gift to Harry...What's Inside,' eluding to the magic inside. When opened up pops Hedwig perching outside the Dursley's home on 4 Privet Drive.
Our Harry Potter Fawkes Pop Up Card is the perfect gift for a Harry Potter fan! The beautifully gold foiled cover reads "Possessing tears with healing powers and the ability to carry immensely heavy loads...What's Inside?' eluding to the magic that awaits inside. When opened up pops a beautiful and bright red Fawkes perching on Dumbledores' table. Small details really bring this card to life, such as the Sorting Hat, a book of spells with Dumbledores' reading glasses on top of the pile as well as his wand on the table.
Our Harry Potter Flying Ford Anglia Car Pop Up Card is the perfect gift for a Harry Potter fan! The beautifully gold foiled cover reads "Owned by the Weasley's, and capable of storing eight people, six large trunks, two owls and a rat...What's Inside?' eluding to the magic that awaits inside. When opened, up pops a flying 3D Ford Anglia car, in front of a backdrop of a fast approaching Hogwarts Express on the viaduct! When you look inside the car you can see amazing details such as Harry and Ron in the front and Hedwig perching in the back, making this card a real work of art.
Our Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Pop Up Card is the perfect gift for a Harry Potter fan! The beautifully gold foiled cover reads "Likely to be found at Platform 9 3/4 at 11 o'clock on the first of September....What's Inside?' eluding to the magic that awaits inside. When opened, up pops a 3D Hogwarts Express train on Platform 9 3/4. You will likely see some amazing details such as Harry's trolley with Hedwig on top of his suitcase coming onto the platform. On the side of the platform, you will also see the 'Wanted' poster for Sirius Black stuck on the wall! These small and intricate details make this card a real piece of art.
Our Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle Pop Up Card is the perfect gift for a Harry Potter fan! The beautifully gold foiled cover reads "Here, help will always be given to those who ask for it...What's Inside?' eluding to the magic that awaits inside. When opened, up pops a 3D Hogwarts Castle, but the magic doesn't stop there! Turn it around and you will see amazing details inside the castle, such as the iconic moving staircases, The Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore's Office, the girls' bathroom on the second floor where you are likely to find Moaning Myrtle and Professor Umbridges' pink office, to name a few! These amazing details, make this card more of a gift and a piece of art that can be displayed as an ornament!
