Everything Papercraft


Pop-up cards are fun to make and always popular as gifts. The idea is that a picture or sentiment “pops up” when the card is opened via a specially designed, built-in, fold that flattens out again once the card is closed. It makes what is usually a two-dimensional greeting card into a 3D creation with the use of cleverly placed cuts, folds, glue-ins and other moving parts.

There’s a host of techniques and methods for making these great gifts. Click on any of the photos below to check out a tutorial or search the internet for “pop-up cards”. You’re sure to find something that suits your needs.

You gave us a heads-up for the letter "P". I'd like to try the one with the little owls. How cute would that look with any of the images from your Simply Christmas set.

I love pop ups... New ways to make cards interactive are popping up every day and everyone would love to have that little extra interactive element in a card now and then.
