We Have All Seen Popup Books,

and cards,

well paper designer Peter Dahmen takes this to a new level,

he has worked for several years perfecting different areas of his craft, from personalised,

or corporate gifts,

to architecture,

and cards of whimsy,

this GIF is a quick look at what to expect,

in this new video titled Most Satisfying Video of Pop-Up Cards, it is a portfolio of sorts spanning the last several years of his work engineering elaborate objects that unfold from the pages of books or the confines of tiny boxes. You can go behind the scenes a bit more in this 2014 film on Dahmen from Christopher Helkey, and you can also try building some of his original designs with these free online tutorials, (via The Kid Should See This), I have to say it looks like great fun.
