Pop-Up and 3-D Cards: Step-by-Step Projects to Make at Home

These 20 beautiful homemade, dimensional cards literally pop-and the distinctive designs can easily be adapted to fit any occasion and need at a fraction of the cost of store-bought. Imagine--there's even an amazing card to thank someone for help with dogwalking: on the outside, it's covered with muddy paw prints; open it, and the dog himself rises from the page. And that's just one of the delightful patterns, which come complete with templates, instructions, and color photos of the finished results. Who could resist an invitation delivered by a fairy with a magic wand and a rainbow-hued 3-D tutu? What child wouldn't giggle when a Halloween card opens and a bat flies out? They're all fun and unique.
