(popsetpaper.com, Happy Colours’ Attack)

But for I can’t finish the papertoy in time (my live is changed a lot!)
(participate)

Damn I just couldn’t get more time in the design/build… I wanted to compete but there are more important things to do…

I could be sad, but I’m not, so instead of winning a contest
Ishare the end result with you (this is my blog so why not):

I introduce to you:

Squeezzrr

a C-Myk papertoy
(and my first Shin Tanaka custom)

Squeezzrr front-shot

Squeezzrr side-shot

Hope you like it.

Update #1: I have added Squeezzrr also to the gallery of Pop’set. It will be visible in 48 hours . To bad that there is no like button anymore

Update #2: I was missing the possibility to “like” this! So now you can do that here: like me on facebook. So like me alot

But this one is just so you don’t forget me:

Revolvrr is a papertoy that I made as a part of an other papertoy.

Nick Knite and Dolly Oblong advised me to share it with you. So here it is: it’s only a blank version because it just doesn’t need more.

The .ZIP file contains a .PDF
(You can use freeware like FilZip or 7zip to extract a .ZIP-file and read a .PDF with Acrobat or Foxit)

There was some room left on the template so I made a bullet for the Revolvrr

70′s Lurrv Gun – Methuup da Funky One custom

Water Pistol ‘Revolver’ – Jason Bolt custom

Revolvrr custom – Anonymous

Revolvrr custom – George McKnight

How to do this?

The first you need is a piece of paper with a print/pattern on it. Try Google for a pattern.
You can buy paper with a print on it but you can also use a page from a comic/magazine/flyer.
After that you just print the blank template on it.

Oh no!!!

The first papertoy suicide? A sad way to end your birthday… how will this end…
And remember: Revolvrr’s don’t kill people, scissors do!

(No papertoy fan(s) where hurt during this photo session)

This papertoy is a gift for someone who creates jewelry (check out the quick website I did for her: Smederij in Amsterdam).

She complains that nobody gives her jewelry. So I created a BIG-diamond ring

Scorpion Robot

OctoBeak

They are papertoy monster made for the Monsterbook by Workman Publishing Co.
You can preorder it at Amazon:

Papertoy Monsters: Make Your Very Own Amazing Papertoys! .

There are 50 monsters in this book made by 25 designers. We were given the task to create monster papertoys on one piece of paper, with double-sided prints. They also asked to do some “classic” monster: I did a robot and a fictional monster.

Check my flickr account for more images!

So visit my previous post about Papertoy bizz.

But to be short about it: I’m currently working on making that papertoy bizz somewhat official.

And you need a business card and that got me wondering about some other business card related items:

• Business card stand
• Business card holder

I couldn’t resist looking for paper versions of these items.

In this post I’ll be focusing on the business card holder! (again!)

Business card holder

How to Make a Business Card Holder… From Playing Cards

The fist one is a Business card holder made from playing cards:

Read the craftstylish.com post about that.
Download the template (.PDF) they created here “save as”

I don’t have to vectorize it, but I did it anyway:

Download the template as .SVG (use “Save Link As…”)

Business card holder from Free Patent Online

Here I found another one:

There is only a jpg, so I converted it to the standard size business card and now it’s in vector:

Download the template as .SVG (use “Save Link As…”)

Here the vector files:

Business card holder

I found two versions that I want to mention.

The Food Box Wallet (can be used as business card holder)

The Food box wallet from replayground.com

I don’t have to vectorized it, because they have a nice .PDF file for us.
Download the template: “save as”

But I did it anyway because it now fits the standard business card:

Download the template as .SVG (use “Save Link As…”)

Placing the elastic can be somewhat difficult so here some extra instructions

Paint Chip Card Holders!

The other I found at designverb.com

They look awesome don’t they!!
In the Netherlands we don’t have Home Depot or a shop that uses these cards but why don’t use a cereal box or other box made out of carton (or just design one…).

There is a .JPG template

This template can be use to modify it to your own business card dimensions:

To change the size of the template, make ‘a’ the height of your card, and ‘b’ the thickness that you want the card holder to be.

But here is mine vector version:

Download the template as .SVG (use “Save Link As…”)

For building instruction visit designverb.com page about the paint chip card holder.

Business card stand

Simple business card iPhone iPod stand

This one is so simple that I didn’t search further

I found it on instructables.com so visit them for the whole story.

But I need vector files, not just a sketch! So I converted the instructions into a vector file:

And now the download: this is a little experiment so hope it works:
Download the template as .SVG (use “Save Link As…”)
Use the standard functionality from your browser and save it as “.svg” (Firefox will save it as .XML but that file won’t open in Illustrator)

btw: there is even an instruction how to make this stand without a template; just with folding and another business card! Just visit the post and scroll down the comments.

iPhone and iTouch paper stand dock

But then someone pointed me towards this:

An awesome paper stand from dessinemoiunobjet.com by Julien Madérou. But I see no reason why we can’t use it for a business card stand.

You can download the original .PDF file here (use “Save Link As…”)

But because we don’t need to have a cord running through, I simplified the template a little bit:

Download the template as .SVG (use “Save Link As…”)

If you are having problem to build it, visit the original post: Iphone and Itouch paper stand / dock or open the original PDF (here).

When I finished my first PUMA sneakers, and posted it on NPT (Nice Paper Toy), some people mentioned that they liked the model but that there favorite PUMA sneaker is the states/suede/clyde.
I didn’t know that the PUMA states/suede/clyde is a b-boy classic.

So I couldn’t resist to make them too:

I don’t have a download link for this one, and no design yet….
But that will be fixed very soon.

PS.
The excellent Ron Rementilla from Paperkraft.blogspot.com has written about my PUMA First round papertoy (thx for that).
And suggested that readers who wanted a template, leave a comment….

Till now 10 people did and they have received the (WIP) templates…
I call the templates WIP because the instructions are not ready yet.
And because I wanted to make the PUMA clyde first, they are not ready yet.

• Shin Tanaka – Onitsuka Tiger (Mexico 66) / Nike Air Force 1 / Nike AF-1 / read more on this blog
• PHIL – AIR CUBE FORCE 1 / AIR YEEZY TRIBUTE
• DMC – Vans Era
• David Brownings – Nike / Nike

And I don’t want to do something that someone else already did before me. So no urban paper sneaker for me…. Till my girl bought a pair of PUMA sneakers: they are awesome!

So I just googled a little bit about for limited edition PUMA sneaker and it convinced me to do a papertoy PUMA sneaker.

My urban paper PUMA sneaker is loosely based upon PUMA First Round model (check the online shoe customizer: PUMA MONGOLIAN SHOE BBQ)

The blank template:

My own design:

I don’t have the templates ready for publising, so you have to wait for that a little bit.
(or ask leave a comment so I can send what I have now)

I don’t have to mention that the PUMA logo is not mine, right?

What do I mean with Urban paper? Paper with a street attitude…

But as “part 1″ already implies; there is also a second gallery, here it is: my Flickr gallery about Urban paper – part 2.

I hope you like it, drop a comment if you want… here or at Flickr
