Holiday cards, sweetheart cards, humorous cards: they’re all "popping up” in this charming vintage collection. Warmly colored, and richly adorned with lace, beads, satin, and feathers, there’s nothing like them in the stores! These elaborate pre-1923 classics are not only beautiful in and of themselves; when disassembled, they also form the basis for 25 brand-new projects. After learning in detail exactly how these dimensional treasures are put together--the tools and techniques, the basics of construction, and the most authentic embellishments--you’re armed with the inspiration to create your own. Each project includes a photo of the card in its original form, images of every element in the card to photocopy or cut out, and instructions for rebuilding and redecorating your masterpiece.
This nostalgic Little Golden Book will conjure up memories of dolls, glitter, and shoeboxes full of homemade valentines! A perfect gift to show your love this Valentine's Day! A very special collection of vintage-style press-out cards and envelopes with red flocking on the cover that will make consumers long for the simpler times when these cards were originally created. Little Golden Books have been loved by children for over 75 years. When they were first published in 1942, high-quality books for children hadn’t been available at a price most people could afford. Little Golden Books changed that! Priced at just 25 cents and sold where people shopped every day, they caused an instant sensation and were soon purchased by the hundreds of thousands. Created by such talented writers as Margaret Wise Brown (author of Goodnight Moon) and Richard Scarry, Little Golden Books have helped millions of children develop a lifelong love of reading. Today, Little Golden Books feature beloved classics such as The Poky Little Puppy and Scuffy the Tugboat, plus new, original stories—the classics of tomorrow—ready to be discovered between their sturdy cardboard covers and gold-foil spines.
A convincing explanation of why interactive or movable books should be included in the library collection that documents their value as motivational instructional tools—in all areas of the school curriculum, across many grade levels. Pop-up books possess universal appeal. Everyone from preschoolers to adults loves to see and tactilely experience the beautiful three-dimensional work of Robert Sabuda, David A. Carter, and other pop-up book creators. Sabuda himself was inspired to become a pop-up book artist after experiencing the 1972 classic pop-up The Adventures of Super Pickle. The effect of these movable books on young minds is uniquely powerful. Besides riveting children's attention, pop-up books can also help build motor skills, teach cause and effect, and develop spatial understanding of objects. Based on their direct experience and many presentations to teachers and librarians, the authors have provided template lesson plans with curriculum and standards links for using the best pop-up books currently available in the instructional program of the school. The book also includes profiles of the most notable authors, a history of the format, definitions of terms such as "flap book" and "paper engineer," and information on how to create movable books. Librarians will find the section regarding collection development with the format—how and where to acquire them, proper storage methods—and the annotated listing of the authors' 50 favorite pop-ups extremely helpful.
Hope and joy radiate from the pages of Robert Sabuda’s new pop-up book celebrating the Nativity. Long ago in the town of Bethlehem, on a bright and starry night, a baby was born, a child who was called the son of God. Announced by an angel, born in a humble manger, laid in a bed of straw, visited by shepherds and wise men—the age-old, awe-inspiring story of the birth of Jesus is lovingly brought to life by master pop-up artist Robert Sabuda in six gorgeously imagined scenes, culminating in a 3-D manger sheltering humans and beasts, guarded by an angel above. Glinting with touches of gold and pearlescent foil, The Christmas Story is a visual feast, a holiday treasure to be shared with the whole family.
A colorful assortment of ingenious and unusual designs demonstrates how to create more than fifty cards to suit a variety of occasions or events using such popular techniques as quilling, embossing, paper folding and cutting, and rubber stamping, accompanied by helpful advice on materials, techniques, variations, and more.
Tiny cards...BIG impact! This little collection is chock-full of fresh ideas created by a pool of talented designers. Not only does it include greeting cards (plus envelopes) for special occasions and holidays, but also clever gift and memento objects. No card exceeds 31/2 by 5 inches, and they’re made beautiful with popular crafting techniques such as altering, stamping, painting, and stitching. On display, too, are the hottest design trends, featuring windows, pockets, fold-outs, and fabric. Among the small treasures: a diminutive banner with embellished cards that spell out "happy birthday” and a palm-sized accordion-style book to document a celebration or trip. Every pint size statement really packs a punch!
