Tips for Making Pop-Up Cards
Use Strong Cardstock
– 65 lb to 80 lb weight works best for sturdy, crisp folds.
Score Before Folding
– Proper scoring prevents cracking and ensures smooth pop-up action.
Test the Folding
– Close and open the card several times to make sure it collapses neatly.
Add Personal Touches
– Glitter, metallic foil, or patterned papers can make your design stand out.
Try LED Tea Lights
– Many designs can be displayed upright, making them double as mini holiday decorations.
