I had a Japanese Friend who would make these. They are very special.

Do you stack and glue them first, then cut them as a block, or do you cut each card individually, then stack and glue them after?

My guess is stack first, then cut, but I'm no artist. ;) I would imagine cutting the stack would be both more precise and also harder to cut (more material to work through at a time). My hands ache in sympathy already. Did you give up caffeine to do this?
