Thanks Elegran, I'm a collector of these sorts of things too - I love any sort of craft. The pop up cards are fab, and I really like the cut-out art as this combines two of my favourite things, craft and photography!

Thank you Elegran - I'm going to check them out as it might be just what I'm looking for

The pop up cards are brilliant. Our children make Christmas and Birthday cards so these will be really useful. The angel card looks so effective yet seems so simple to make.

Thank you for the links, Elegran.

I've been going through old internet links, deleting those that are no longer valid. There are some good ones still going.

wp.robertsabuda.com/make-your-own-pop-ups/ (from simple opening mouths to complicated scenes)

www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/templates.htm (pentagon and hexagon petal cards particularly nice)

www.instructables.com/id/Interactive-Cut-out-Art/ (sharp knife involved - but could possibly do it with scissors)
