Because each piece is custom-made to fit your specific photos and themes, I need at least 20 days to ensure every fold is perfect and ready to surprise your loved ones. When you choose an interactive gift, you are giving more than a present; you are creating an experience. Unlike a standard photo frame, these gifts invite the recipient to interact with the memories. My explosion boxes, for instance, are designed as compact squares that unfold into flat layers, revealing pockets, hidden messages, and a central compartment for a small additional surprise like chocolates or a ring. I work with heavy, high-quality cardstock to ensure that the mechanics like shaker windows, slider reveals, and pop-up cubes last. Whether it is a heart-themed box for an anniversary or a vibrant birthday cube, I customize the color palette and themes to match the occasion. Because I am a one-person studio based in Electronic City, Bangalore, I handle everything from the initial design to the final glue work personally. If you have a specific vision, let me know. I can incorporate different structural designs, such as tri-fold layers or waterfall cards, to house 20 to 30 photos. For those who want to try their hand at crafting, I also share templates for pop-up cubes, allowing you to bring that same magic to your own DIY projects. ## About Heeba Shafaque I’m Heeba, and I believe the best gifts are the ones that hold a story.
