How I Made Your Birthday Card

This page is basically a gallery of the build. The card was made in layers: stone, a cast aluminium sheet, wood, and 3D‑printed parts (with built‑in electronics). Each photo/video is one little piece of how it all came together.

I returned to being a monke caveman and started cutting stone lol

Stone tablet done. I was genuinely proud of this one.

First stack attempt with stone and wood layers — First stack attempt: stone + wood starting to look like an actual card.
