So pleased that you have found time to do another tutorial. As always, it is wonderful, and inspiring. Thank you.

[@helenluis5626]

Thank you, Peter. I love all your designs and it is always great to see the very complex things you make. But this was a special treat, something that even the least able among us can make - and make our own design! You are generous with your time and your talent and it is much appreciated.

[@Laura-Lee]

Love that it's actually a skill I can learn with a little perseverance and then apply my own individuality. Well done and thank you for taking the time to teach the rest of us.

[@jonespaperemporium4930]

I love pop-ups but they can be so intimidating. And yours are so fabulous. You gave us something we can actually do. Thanks, thanks, thanks for sharing.

It's so cool i tried it and it looks awesome CANT WAIT TO SHOW MOM ...THANKS PETER

[@sandrastillman1021]

Thank you Peter for this pop up flower! I just love it and plan to make several for my friends at my small senior center. I have been able to make your peony pop ups but they take a while to make. This card will be a bit faster and it will surprise my friends for their birthdays. Many have told me they keep every card I send them as it is so special. You truly have a gift and I am so happy you share it with us! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for sharing these techniques with us, and for creating such professional and instructive videos. 😊👏🌸

[@litoboy5]

great

[@Fuhgl]

Successfully made one on my first try, definitely would have looked even nicer if I had been more careful with the creasing. As a tip for people wanting to save a bit of printing, the fourth page of the PDF template I would consider optional, it's just folding a sheet in half.

[@ignoigno1]

Thank you so much! This is a design I often met in pop-ups but I was never encouraged to make one like after watching this video. Thanks for showing the many variations. By the way, I had a question about double sided tapes. In some videos about making pop ups I've seen some paper engineers use something like a regular tape but coated with adhesive on both sides. It's used with tape dispenser and it's very handy unlike the regular double sided tapes that have protective sheet between the sticky parts. Have you seen something like that? Anyway, please keep on making tutorials. They are wonderful!

[@ignoigno1]

@@Peter.Dahmen.Papierdesign Thank you for this detailed information!

[@josefinamccarty9271]

Mr. Peter, your kindness is clearly seen, by the way you explain to us , this intricate pop-up design flower. I thank you for providing us a template for this flower. I just printed the petals with no problem. I will be making a sample of the flower in the near future, to add to my collection of greeting cards. I just discovered your channel, in you tube, I have been watching them, just beautiful . I love the one on the exhibition of your work in 2011, and the others that you have, please continue with your designs.... for us OK ? Have you published any books ? what ar the names ? I would like to see Peacocks . Here in South Florida abound, specially in the open yards, They are just gorgeous,. Unfortunally we can' have them, we can only see them when THEY WANT TO DISPLAY THEIR FEATHERS TO THE WORLD. So, I have to be conformed with a paper/pop up Peacocks !!! Thanks again for your tutorials.... and waiting to see new ones. by by for now, Josephine,

Hi Rachel, many thanks for your kind words. here are the dimensions of the card: closed size: 4 ½ x 6 ¼ x inches (158,75 x 114,3 mm), opened size: 9 x 6 ¼ inches (158,75 x 228,6 mm). I hope this helps. All the best, Peter

[@RoxeneK]

Very nice. Love your instructions! Very precise and easy to follow. These look like so much work. I wonder how time consuming they are to make. ... Love you accent! Are you Russian? I'm trying to learn the language since my daughter-in-law is from Russia.

[@Peter.Dahmen.Papierdesign]

Dear Roxene, many thanks for your kind comment. I am happy that you like my tutorial. The creation of these pop-up cards is not very time consuming, especially if you use colored paper (so you don't need to invest any time into the illustration). I recommend that you should just try it out. You will probably need less than an hour for your first attempt and you will definitely speed up the process with your next cards. I believe, such a card can be created in less than 15 minutes if you are a little more experienced. I am from Germany, sorry for strong accent. I hoped that it would have lessened over time but apparently it is still very strong. Good luck with you pop up cards and in learning the Russian language. (A language I don't speak.) All the best, Peter

Can I make a rose using such template and idea

[@PotchouDoodle]

Thank you so much for this amazingly clear tutorial and for the free template. I will try to implement it into a version for my Silhouette cutting machine. Would it be ok if I also share the resulting svg file freely for my subscribers? I would of course cite you and your great tutorial. Thanks :)

[@Peter.Dahmen.Papierdesign]

Dear PotchouDoodle, thank you very much for your kind comment. I am very happy that you like my tutorial. However, I would like to ask you not to offer any plans (or files) for download. The idea behind my tutorial is that people should draw the exact petals themselves. This is the only way they can learn the principle that is the basis of this pop-up technique. I do not agree that this step should be replaced by a "ready made" template (or svg file) that users only need to download. (e.g. a template or an svg file for the Silhouette cutting machine). It is not allowed to offer my template (or similar plans) for download on your own website (or any other platform / social media). Please only link to my original PDF file on my website: peterdahmen.de/en/2018/08/26/flower/ Thank you very much! All the best, Peter

[@PotchouDoodle]

@@Peter.Dahmen.Papierdesign thank you so much. I understand perfectly. I won't offer the file. Then is it ok if I show in a quick tutorial how to import your file in the silhouette software to make their own design using your pdf that they would download from your website? If not I'll just keep it for me 😉 and only show the result.

[@Peter.Dahmen.Papierdesign]

@@PotchouDoodle Many thanks for your kind reply. I am happy that you understand my point of view. IF you want to create a tutorial on how to import a file into the silhouette software, please don't use any of my templates. (To avoid copyright complaints, I recommend that you also should not use any other template that you have found on the internet). In best case, you should use a template that you have created on your own. Thank you. All the best, Peter
