Series Summary

Greeting cards can come from anyone. You check your mail one day, and –Poof– you see a cute little envelope from a friend you haven’t heard from since college. They can also come at any time. Your birthday was three weeks ago, but today you just received a belated card from your aunt in England. Why not give one of your friends a little pick-me-up with a handmade pop-up card from your heart to theirs? Greeting cards for St. Valentine’s Day and New Year’s were printed from woodcuts and made by hand as early as the 15th century. Just think, if you make a handmade card today, you’ll be entering a 500 year-old tradition! Why spend $4 on a card someone else wrote, when you can send a friend a special treat?

She leads you through measuring, cutting, and decorating pop-up wizards, frogs, hearts, and more. You will learn what supplies you need and how best to use them constructing beautiful one-of-a-kind cards for friends and family. Karen also shows you how to make envelopes.
