I came across this website with some really cool pop up card templates and tutorials for them. I am not exactly sure how they might could be cut on a cutting machine. They look like they are by hand.
Here is the site:

more the likely there will be a little tweaking to do in MTC after that

@juliefes, do you remember which webinar you showed how to trace a pdf? Thanks.
You don't need PCS to create these files since the work has already been done by the designer of the files to do the "layout" - you simply need to get them into MTC by doing a trace and then separating out the cutting and folding lines as needed.
To find old Webinars where this has been done you could start by searching the indexes of the Webinars someone created from the timestamps. (Last I knew, there is not yet an index completed for 2015 however as someone first has to watch all the videos and writeup the timestamps for each one.) There are "indexes" of the different years of Webinars that you can "search" through but the detail provided may not be enough to distinguish what type of "trace' was being done. I believe those indexes are listed in the Webinar recordings thread which is stuck at the top of the forum.
If you would like Bryan to demonstrate how to do with these particular files, you can always add it to the Webinar thread for next week when he adds it for the questions to be added.

"Stokes" would be just the cut lines - not the actual "texture" or coloring of the image I am assuming is what Andy meant - no MTC on the computer I am presently on so haven't checked his file. He provided the MTC file in his post so you can "see" what he has done. (By the way - just in case you don't know - this Andy is the Andy who created both MTC and PCS programs.
I will have to look back at the Webinar you are talking about (but won't be tonight) to see what she did there and how she may have been using Adobe Pro.
Yes, the two videos (from a quick glance at the early portions) from Julie's Youtube channel are similar idea/concept of how you would look to bring in the PDF files from the site you shared above.

ETA: I finally got it in as a png file with no problem, but I just don't understand why I can't cut and paste.

ETA: I figured out how to get the second page using Inkscape.
To get the texture he said, "To get a 300 DPI raster image, I used Inkscape to export to PNG feature (there is a setting to export at a certain DPI).
So he used Inkscape to read the PDF file and export the color/texture as a PNG, specifying he wanted it to be 300 dpi so it would print out nicely. You can bring the PNG into MTC via pixel trace. Refer to Section 3.14, "Changing Texture" to see how to bring in the tree's texture. You can then combine the strokes you brought in earlier with the texture so you can print and cut the tree.
Please note that I don't use Popup Card Studio, simply because I don't make cards. So I have no experience with it.
I can tell you some stories from years ago when I worked with a Company who had large user manuals for electronic equipment that were HUGE manuals with lots of technical drawings and images. We were on the front end of "digitizing" and putting them on line so as to not have to print them and make them easy for a user to "search" them. We kept having problems with the graphics. They were showing up as "huge" data files when to look at them, they shouldn't have been. I had to break some of them down to "see" what the problem was. The "graphic artist" was simply turning images white with white strokes to hide "mistakes" or something that they decided they didn't need. There would be layers of those! They didn't understand why it mattered!
