The first step, open Inkscape then click the file on the menu bar, then select document prperties, then un-check the show page border on the document properties command screen. Then click view on the menu bar and select the zoom 1: 1

The second step, open the image folder which will be the object for giving pop-up effect then drag and drop the image to the inkscape workspace. Then click drwa bezier curves on the side bar and create a vector to cut some objects. After that set the vector line by dragging and dotting the points on the four vector corners, then double click on the part that will be used to cut the object, then drag and play mouse at the dots to form the image pieces like the instructions on the pictures below.

The third step is, click the select and transform object icon on the side bar, then block the object thoroughly, then click the object in the menu bar, then select the clip and select the set

The fourth step, click the draw icon bezier curves again, and create a square vector by following the piece of the object, then click the stroke paint button on the fill and stroke command screen and click the no paint button, then click the fill button on the same command screen, then click the flat color, change its color to white color, then click icon lower selection to bottom on menu bar.

The fifth step, click the rectangles icon on the side bar, then create a rectangular object, and give whatever color there is in the task bar option, then click the lower selection to bottom icon on the menu bar. Then click the select and transform object icon on the side bar and then block the object thoroughly, then click the center icon on vertical axis on the command screen align and distribute object.

In the sixth step, click the white object and make a duplicate, or right click and select duplicate, for the duplicate object set the blur capacity to 10% on the fill and stroke command screen, click twice on the lower selection one step icon on the menu bar. Then click the background or object that we created with the rectangles before, and change the color to black.

For the seventh step or the last step, is the file storage. Then click the file on the menu bar, then select Save As, and save the file in two formats, namely SVG format and PNG format.
