Origami is the Japanese word for paper folding. ORI means to fold and KAMI means paper. Together, they form the word, "Origami”, which is an art form that has been handed down from generation to generation. Kirigami is similar to origami in that it is a form of paper art. The major difference is that in origami, you fold paper whereas in kirigami, you fold and cut paper.  We believe relationships are one of the most important aspects in our life. Not everyone finds expressing their feelings easy. Making someone feel special is easy with the best greeting card and a hand-written message filled with lots of love. It can be even more special with your own personal touch. Origami pop cards creates stunning handmade greeting cards just for you. These beautiful handmade cards are laser cut and are then individually assembled by hand with love and care. The recipient of these unique cards will be delighted upon opening to see a pop up paper sculpture in intricate detail. The cards can be custom made for any occasion, such as weddings, other special events and corporate branding. 

Originally from Vietnam Dean Vu migrated to Australia, since he was 18, Dean has been creating pop-up cards from 2004. On a visit to Japan, he discovered an array of exquisite textiles and forms of paper art, and that started the inspiration for his creative business.  After much experimentation with all aspects of making pop-up cards—materials sourcing, design, prototypes creation, laser cutting, and hand assembling), he decided to break away from traditional floral designs popular in Asia and began creating his own unique style using contemporary designs and Australian content.  The Waratah was his first signature card and remains one of the most popular. Dean is committed to making a product that is both ethically responsible and environmentally sustainable. The Kishu paper from Japan is high-quality and is FSC-certified (the mark of responsible forestry). The protective cellophane packets are biodegradable.
