A greeting card which includes a greeting card body and a flying disc removably attached thereto. A sound module and motion sensor are contained within the flying disc. The sound module contains one or more audio clips contained thereon and is operative to replay the one or more audio clips through a speaker. The motion sensor triggers the audio playback upon the flying disc being tossed or thrown through the air by a user.

A 3D pop-up card assembly having a base card and a foldable figure that pops up when the base card is opened. The foldable figure is attached to the base card using a plurality of paper hinge constructs. Each of the paper hinge constructs has a first tab, a second tab and a transition section. The transition section contains fold lines along which each of the paper hinge constructs can fold. The first tab of each paper hinge construct is attached to the base card. The second tab of each paper hinge construct is attached to the foldable figure. When the base card is opened, each paper hinge construct can rotate in unaligned planes, therein applying tension to the foldable figure as the orientation between the base card and the foldable figure changes.

A greeting card assembly having an electronics unit embedded into the card. The electronics unit plays a length of music containing consecutive notes that can be selectively played over the speaker. A graphic of at least one instrument is displayed in the card. At least one activation sensor is provided within the graphic. Each activation sensor can be triggered by touching the graphic where the activation sensor is located. When an activation sensor is triggered, the electronics unit plays only one, two or three notes from the length of music. In this manner, to play the full length of music, the activation sensor must be repeatedly triggered. By strategically positioning each activation sensor in the graphic of the instrument, the repeated triggering of the activation sensor provides an appearance that a user is actually playing the instrument depicted in the graphic.

The present invention is directed to various embodiments of a greeting card having at least one motor attached to a mechanism which causes movement to a mobile object and one or more attachments suspended from the mobile object. The mobile object may be a circular disc, a string or a swing structure. Each mobile object contains one or more attachments either attached directly thereto or suspended therefrom via a string or line. The motor may effect various movements in the mobile object such as circular motion, back-and-forth motion or bouncing or vibrating motion.
