A pop-up gift card includes a card that is foldable along a fold line between closed and opened positions. The card includes a separable perforated section extending over both sides of the fold line. An erectable pop-up display structure comprising a plurality of intersecting slice-form elements is mounted on the perforated section of the card. When the card is closed, the pop-up display structure is in a flattened state, and when the card is opened, the pop-up display structure is in an erected 3-D state. The pop-up display structure can be removed from the card by separating the perforated section from the rest of the card. A support element can be affixed to the perforated section for maintaining the pop-up display structure in the 3-D state when the pop-up display structure is removed from the card.

Systems and processes for producing a product having a carrier and a card secured thereto. Such a process includes providing a blank having a card panel and carrier panel that are contiguous with a fold line therebetween. The process further includes cutting the card panel to at least partially define a partial cutout card therein such that a remaining portion of the card panel surrounds the partial cutout card, folding the card panel over and onto the carrier panel such that the partial cutout card is secured to the carrier panel with an adhesive, and then removing the remaining portion so that the remaining portion is separated from the partial cutout card, and the partial cutout card remains secured to the carrier panel and defines at least a portion of the card of the product.

Some embodiments provide a greeting card or a postcard with a practical joke feature. The practical joke feature can include a sound that is repeatedly played for several hours, days, weeks, etc. The card can include a mode of operation configured to allow a purchaser to experience the sound without arming the practical joke feature.

A pop-up card includes an erectable pop-up display structure that can be easily removed from the card to be displayed. The pop-up card is foldable between closed and opened positions. The card includes a slot therein for holding the pop-up display structure. The pop-up display structure comprises a plurality of intersecting slice-form elements mounted on a foldable base. At least a portion of the foldable base is removably inserted in the slot such that when the card is closed, the foldable base is folded and the pop-up display structure is in a flattened state. When the card is opened, the foldable base is unfolded and the pop-up display structure is in an erected 3-D state. The pop-up display structure can be slid out of the slot in the card and displayed when desired.

A gift card carrier for holding a gift card includes a first part having a first portion and a second portion that is formed of a transparent plastic material and includes a pair of gift card slits for releasably retaining the gift card. The gift card carrier also has a second part that has an open interior space. The second portion of the first part is sized to carry the gift card and be received within the open interior space of the second part. The first part moves between a fully retracted position in which the second portion is received within the open interior space and an extended position in which the second portion is exposed for removal of the gift card.

The following invention represents a postcard, comprising a laminar body adapted to be decorated externally with at least one predefined illustration. Said body has an opening for access to an internal recess, said opening is normally closed by a removable cover. The recess accommodates at least one seed and a substrate, and that at least one seed is arranged on the top of the substrate and directed toward said opening, for the sprouting of a plant after the removal of the cover and the addition of water into the recess. The seed is normally being retained on the top of said substrate by a laminar containment element, which is made of water-soluble material and is interposed between the substrate and the cover.

A combined gift card holder and bottle carrier topper includes a main panel having two oblong elements separated by an elongate channel and a gift card sleeve attached to the main panel. The main panel is inserted onto a bottle carrier by placing a portion of the bottle carrier into the channel. The gift card sleeve is then located outside the bottle carrier and a portion of the bottle carrier topper is located inside the bottle carrier.
