Pop-up cards, with their wonderful interactive, dimensional nature, are all the rage these days. And now crafters can duplicate the amazing techniques at home! Renowned artist Sandi Genovese shows you how with 25 wonderful projects that make cards pop.
A birthday greeting becomes even happier with a multi-tiered chocolate cake design, topped with candles. The accordion-folded “Hand in Hand” card displays a variety of hand shapes that seem to applaud enthusiastically when it’s opened and closed. And an elaborate celebratory Christmas card showcases a three-dimensional tree bedecked with hanging ornaments. All projects feature a gorgeous color shot of the completed card, templates, and a vibrant page layout that’s both approachable and modern.

I am disappointed with this book. For what I've seen of Sandy and her DIY segments, the book actually doesn't do better than what you could find on the DIY Scrapbooking site. In fact, you get full sized templates on the website. I prefer books that have good diagrams versus written instructions. In my personal opinion, diagrams when done right; are so much easier to follow. There are templates in the book, however you need to enlarge them 50% or more. Overall, if I'd reviewed this book before hand, I think I would have passed on buying it. If you do buy it, Amazon has the best price. A good reference book.

I checked this book and I support the comments from the previous person. The book has pretty pictures followed by written instructions. Not one step by step diagram can be found in the entire book. At the very end there are small simple diagrams without showing the real cuts. Not good at all.

I love the work of Sandy Genovese and was eager to get the book. I like what I see in the book but would have liked a bit more variety, these seemed a little plain for Sandy. Good instructions, good clear pictures. A good technique book.
