These are two pop-up card examples I made for a up and coming workshop that I will be giving in a local museum. I devised a method many years ago that required no gluing and no waiting for paint to dry, which works well for the impatient type. I thought my design was original, until I saw, some years later, a book by a Canadian artist, using the same technique. First, fold your paper in half, and then half again, and then open it completely and place down on the drawing table. For this method to work, your design should be symmetrical. Draw the right half of your design in the lower right hand section, making sure you have hinges on the outer section of the design . Fold the paper in half and cut the design through the single folded section, making sure to leave the hinges. Look carefully at the attached photo to see the method. This is a great way of making a Valentine card.
