Well-known origamic architect Mr. Takaaki Kihara recently started producing two more of his designs as exquisitely-crafted die-cuts: his Swan and, the often-requested Sydney Opera House. We are very excited that we are now able to offer both of these wonderful new pop up cards in our catalog!
Sad news origamic architecture enthusiasts: production has ended for commercial die-cut designs from Masahiro Chatani and Aya Chatani. Aging tooling will not be replaced due to falling demand.
We do have stock remaining of all 22 designs most recently in production and, will continue to fill orders while it lasts. If there are holes in your collection, now is the time to fill them!
Note that this does not include Professor Kihara’s Stardust card, which we expect to remain in production for the foreseeable future.
The elegant Casablanca cards are back in stock! They are here and, ready to ship out today!
Good news origamic architecture lovers! There has been a new production run and, our popular Cathedral Pop Up Card is back in stock at last. We have them on-hand, ready to ship out today.
We use some fantastic white extra-rigid mailers to ship most of our smaller orders. They do a great job of protecting cards from unwanted bending and folding in transit. We have had some requests for extra mailers from people intent on sending their cards to others as gifts. So, we are happy to announce that you can now order them from us for your own shipping and storage needs. Available in two sizes!
Andrew Crawford has created a neatly-edited video showing how his Helical Heart Pop Up Cards are made. If you have ever been curious about the process, you can see it happen this four-minute video, set to an original soundtrack.

To celebrate “Christmas in August,” we have a new design to share: Christmas Tree by Andrew Crawford. Check it out and, let us know what you think!
It is the middle of summer and, a lot of merchants have been touting their “Christmas in July” and related events. You know we are classier than that. So, why am I talking about the winter holidays more than four months in advance?
Good question!
It is so that I can talk to you about a little thing called “lead time.”
Every year, around the end of November or, even, the beginning of December, we get several inquiries from individuals and businesses who are eager to send out custom-imprinted pop-up holiday cards. In some cases, we find a way to help and, we encourage you to Contact Us even at the eleventh hour. We will always do our best to help you!
Unfortunately, for many, the scheduling is just unworkable or, the rush charges prohibitive.
In general, pop-up cards need to be imprinted prior to cutting and folding. There are only a few production facilities in the world capable of the necessary precision for most of our designs. Normal lead time for a production run at these facilities is four to six weeks. The winter holidays are a busy time for all of these facilities and, lead times can grow significantly longer.
So, if you are considering a custom design or custom-imprinted cards to send out in November or December, now is the best time to start planning.
As an additional incentive to get in the holiday spirit early, we are offering a discount of 10% on custom holiday card orders placed before September 15th.
