Home-made greetings cards are satisfying to make and wonderful to receive. This book shows you how to use paper-engineering skills to create movable and pop-up cards that will delight the lucky recipients. It opens with a brief introduction to making pop-up cards, followed by an invaluable guide to materials and techniques, as well as advice for common problems. The projects begin with simple folds, such as A and V folds, and move on to more complicated techniques, such as tab-held shapes.

Book Description
Introducing techniques for making pop-ups from one sheet of card, the third title in this series on paper engineering takes folding techniques into the third dimension. Each chapter introduces a new technical idea and shows how that technique can be adapted in many different ways, or combined with techniques from earlier chapters. These 3-D techniques can be incorporated into any design where typography and/or illustration are used, including mail-shots, personal publicity, invitations, business cards and greetings cards. With their emphasis on surface design over complex cutting, the pop-ups have an instant appeal for designers. Following the elegant, easy-to-follow style of Paul Jackson’s other titles for Laurence King, Cut and Fold Techniques for Pop-Up Designs is an essential resource for marketing professionals and design students.

MiniEco is the sensational craft blog of Kate Lilley. With over 250,000 followers it has taken on cult status in the international craft community, and that is purely down to Kates fresh, contemporary and beautifully explained and executed craft projects. With a book for children already under her belt, this publication focuses more on adults with 33 pieces including paper gems, an origami lampshade, macrame hangings, pop-up pixel cards, hama bead candle holders, and tie-dyed furoshiki cloths. The ideas range in complexity from the simple to the advanced, but each one is totally unique and has never before been published. The look of the book will reflect the immaculate, Japanese-inflected minimalism of the MiniEco website, with some high-end production finishes including a die-cut, dust-jacketed paperback binding and boldly pared-back photography. QR codes will link to animated gifs of the craft being made.
