How to make a Pop Up Card General Instructions
Giving a handmade pop up card to someone special is a great way to show that you care.
In general, to make a pop up card, follow these basic steps:
Find a card design you like or want to make. You can search for templates with google, or you can find a template for any occasion here: Pop Up Card Templates.
Choose the card stock you would like to make the popup card with. Most cards have an inside card and an outside card backing. 65lb card stock works best.
Print out the template or templates for the pop-up card.
Using the template, cut the pattern out of of the card stock. There are several ways to do this. Please read my post on using templates to cut out your card.
Score the lines that will be folded. Scoring makes it easier to fold the card.

Attach the inside card to the outside card backing by gluing, assembling with slots, or sewing.
