1. A pop-up card, comprising: a card comprising a first panel and a second panel connected to each other along a crease line, said card being foldable on the crease line; anda self-erecting pop-up display structure secured to inner faces of the first and second panels such that the pop-up display st
1. A pop-up card, comprising: a card comprising a first panel and a second panel connected to each other along a crease line, said card being foldable on the crease line; anda self-erecting pop-up display structure secured to inner faces of the first and second panels such that the pop-up display structure is in a collapsed state when the card is in a folded position and in an erected state when the card is in an opened position, said pop-up display structure including a first sliceform element and a second sliceform element, each of the first and second sliceform elements having a tab at a first end thereof secured to the first panel and a tab at an opposite second end thereof secured to the second panel, wherein the first and second sliceform elements are each foldable along a crease line between the first and second ends thereof such that the first and second sliceform elements form a parallelogram shape when the pop-up structure is in the erected state, wherein said pop-up display structure further includes one or more additional sliceform elements connected to said first and second sliceform elements. 2. The pop-up card of claim 1, wherein the tabs in the first and second sliceform elements are folded relative to other portions of the first and second sliceform elements when the card is in an opened position. 3. The pop-up card of claim 1, wherein the tabs in the first and second sliceform elements are folded at about 90 degrees relative to other portions of the first and second sliceform elements when the pop-up display structure is in the erected state. 4. The pop-up card of claim 1, wherein the tabs are glued to the first and second panels. 5. The pop-up card of claim 1, wherein the tabs are secured to the first and second panels using one or more additional panels secured to the first and second panels, wherein the tabs are disposed between said one or more additional panels and the first and second panels. 6. The pop-up card of claim 1, wherein the first ends of the first and second sliceform elements are connected together, and the second ends of the first and second sliceform elements are connected together. 7. The pop-up card of claim 6, wherein the first and second sliceform elements are connected together through interlocking slots therein. 8. The pop-up card of claim 1, wherein the one or more additional sliceform elements are connected to the first and second sliceform elements through interlocking slots therein. 9. The pop-up card of claim 1, further comprising one or more additional panels overlaying the first and second panels and covering the tabs of the first and second sliceform elements, wherein the tabs extend through slots in the one or more additional panels such that the rest of the pop-up display structure is above the one or more additional panels. 10. The pop-up card of claim 1, wherein the tabs of the first and second sliceform elements are secured to the first and second panels by one or more additional panels overlaying and secured to the first and second panels, said one or more additional panels covering the tabs of the first and second sliceform elements, wherein the tabs extend through slots in the one or more additional panels such that the rest of the pop-up display structure is above the one or more additional panels. 11. The pop-up card of claim 1, wherein the card and the self-erecting pop-up display structure comprise paper. 12. The pop-up card of claim 1, wherein the crease lines the first and second sliceform elements coincide with the crease line of the card. 13. A method of making a pop-up card, comprising the steps of: constructing a self-erecting pop-up display structure by connecting a plurality of sliceform elements including a first sliceform element, a second sliceform element, and one or more additional sliceform elements, each of the first and second sliceform elements having a tab at a first end thereof and a tab at an opposite second end thereof, wherein the first and second sliceform elements are each foldable along a crease line between the first and second ends thereof such that the first and second sliceform elements form a parallelogram shape when the pop-up display structure is in an erected state; andsecuring the self-erecting pop-up display structure to a card comprising a first panel and a second panel connected to each other along a crease line such that the pop-up structure is in a collapsed state when the card is in a folded position and in an erected state when the card is in an opened position, wherein securing the self-erecting pop-up display structure to the card comprises securing the tab at the first end of the first sliceform element and the tab at the first end of the second sliceform element to the first panel of the card, and securing the tab at the second end of the first sliceform element and the tab at the second end of the second sliceform element to the second panel of the card. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising folding the tabs in the first and second sliceform elements relative to the rest of the sliceform elements before securing the tabs to the first or second panels. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the tabs in the first and second sliceform elements are folded at about 90 degrees relative to the rest of the sliceform elements when the pop-up display structure is in the erected state. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein securing the tabs comprises gluing the tabs to the first or second panels. 17. The method of claim 13, wherein securing the tabs comprises securing one or more additional panels to the first and second panels with the tabs being disposed between said one or more additional panels and the first and second panels. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising inserting the tabs through slots in the one or more additional panels before securing the one or more additional panels to the first and second panels such that the tabs are covered by the one or more additional panels and the rest of the pop-up display structure is above the one or more additional panels. 19. The method of claim 13, further comprising affixing one or more additional panels over the first and second panels to cover the tabs of the first and second sliceform elements, wherein the tabs extend through slots in the one or more additional panels such that the rest of the pop-up display structure is above the one or more additional panels. 20. The method of claim 13, wherein connecting a plurality of sliceform elements comprises connecting the first ends of the first and second sliceform elements together, and connecting the second ends of the first and second sliceform elements together. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the first and second sliceform elements and the one or more additional sliceform elements are connected together through interlocking slots therein. 22. The method of claim 13, further comprising laser cutting a sheet to form the plurality of sliceform elements.
