      Introduction

      Cards that are fun to make, to send, to receive, and to keep. Cards to look at, to put on a shelf, a dresser, a mantlepiece. Cards that surprise and delight every time you open them.

      Originating in China and Japan, cutting and folding paper are traditional techniques, probably as old as paper itself. Combining cutting and folding, the pop-up card appeared first in England in the nineteenth century, in the lively pictures in children's books, then in the twentieth century in greeting cards and announcements. At the end of the twentieth century, some artists, notably Japanese ones, renewed the form and raised the pop-up to a full-fledged art.

      In this book, you will find the patterns for 20 original creations and 15 detachable pre-printed cards that require no gluing or assembly.

      FOLDS

      Always make the folds in the right direction:

      - valley = \/ (—)

      - mountain = /\ (...)

      You will need a craft knife or utility knife, a cutting board, a standard ruler, a fine embossing stylus (available at craft centers), and a small metal ruler.

      Detach the chosen page and place it on the cutting board.

      Use the craft knife to
