Recently found a copy of this old favourite at a thrift store and was reacquainted with the easy to follow illustrations and instructions. The four sections include: push and pop out, fold and fit in, push pull and turn, and concluding ideas. The first two sections have all been attempted successfully in the past but it is the turning circle and the changing circle that are the new challenges now. The final section culminates with book making. 'Worth looking at.

If you like making cards, here's a unique twist to your cardmaking, add a pop-up! I've experimented with about half of the pop-up ideas in this book. My five-year old daughter helped me make her first pop-up card last week. Simple illustrations describe each step, to make fun creative, and funny 3-d cards, decorations, etc.
