Here's my first attempt:

This is pretty fun! I may have to make a few more of these.

Cool It is fun. The hard part is figuring out what to do.
Here's today's effort ( my copy of a design by Allen Rolfs ) :

Indeed. I cut up a card earlier, and I've been trying to work out how to fold it for the last couple of hours!

Yep, they are definitely "puzzles"

Okay so here's a few more:

The last one is one that I came up with...

Hey guys, you make this stuff look easy, that cannot be the intention now can it?

No, not trying to make it look easy. But from our viewpoint it must be doable. Someone has done it. That makes it a puzzle to solve. They do not come with solutions.... ( And we're not about to give the solutions away here, either )

If it's okay with you Allard I'd like to split these posts from your blog topic. That way these card posts will stop hijacking your thread and they'll be easier to find at a later date. I'm sure some more card creations will be added in the near future.

...split away Oli ... chuffed to see so much interest in what I thought of as a dark art!

[...and looking forward to seeing everyone's versions of the Milestone box next... ]

To get the cards flat I decided against ironing as I'm not sure if that could have any sort of detrimental effect on them, so instead I've been putting them in between the pages of a large dictionary, putting that on the floor and then racking about 10kg of weights on top. Crude, but it works!
