Abstract

The super popular “spherical pop-up cards” have evolved! Now they can form four
different three-dimensional shapes. The new cards can instantly transform their shape
from flat to three-dimensional in the same surprising and interesting way as usual, but
now the cards in this book have improved upon the original shape in order to look much
prettier and more intricate. This book presents pop-up cards in the following forms: A
beautiful egg. A diamond – as seen from the front – or a different diamond shape that

appears as a square or a quadrangular pyramid – when viewed from the side. A birdcage-
like dome. A box shape that has a certain Japonesque feel. For each shape, this book

provides a simple small pop-up card and an intricate larger pop-up card. These should
appeal to anyone who wishes to attempt to make them. The pop-up cards presented here
will surely make pleasant gifts for your special someone and of course for yourself when
displayed in your chosen space. In addition to the patterns for all thirty-five pop-up cards
provided in the book, you will find patterns for five select pop-up cards that you can
simply cut-out and put together on your own. You just need to assemble the components.
How amazing!
