Hello in this tutorial I show you how to make pop-up cards also known as 3D cards or dropdown cards
in this time the theme is Valentine´s day
Material
cardstock of 1 or many colors, the downloadable bases of craftingeek
to decorate you can use stickers, markers, pencil, scissors, glue stick or double sided tape and ruler
for all the cards we will need 1 or 2 retangles of 15 x 20 cm
you can make them of 1 color or many colors
the first style we´re going to do is the 3D style
for this, we will need 1 rectangle
fold in half marking well the fold
take the bases and cut the hearts
leave aside and take a piece of cardstock
take each heart and mark them on the cardstock
take the scissors and cut them
when you have them, decorate them if you want, you can use colored sheets or wrapping paper
take the hearts and fold in half, mark well the fold
glue one heart over the other, this way
put glue, then take it and glue in the middle of the other making sure that it´s open
when it´s dry, glue the hearts on the rectangle you folded
make sure to align well
when it´s dry, the card must be ready to decorate it
use colored tape
wrapping paper
stickers or cardboard figures
when you finish writing a message, the card is ready to gift to that special person
now let's do the second style, pop-up card
cut the rest of the bases
on each one trace marks like this with the pencil on the left side
this line we are doing is where you won´t trace when you do the card
take the bases and leave aside
for each pop-up card we need 2 rectangles and 1 of the bases
fold the rectangle in half marking well the fold
take the base and accommodate like this
glued to the fold, which will be the half of the card
make sure to align well, both edges, up and down, must have the same measure
with the pencil, mark the figure except where you did the marks
you must have something like this
with the scissors cut over the line,
mark the fold to the left
then to the right
align it well and open the card
with your fingers push the heart toward outside and the top and bottom toward inside
close and mark the folds
if you open you´ll have the pop-up heart
leave aside and take another rectangle
leave aside and take another rectangle
fold it in half
we will glue both rectangles, one over the other
take the rectangle with the heart, fold and put glue on one edge
align it with the other rectangle and glue them
do the same with the other edge
now you can start to decorate your card
you can make frames or figures with wrapping paper, using different colores and textures
when you finish, the card should look like this
to the other styles you have to do the same, start cutting 2 rectangles
fold in half, then align the base with the fold
and trace the parts which are not marked
cut over the lines
mark the fold to both sides
open the card and push the pop-up toward inside and the leftovers toward outside
mark the folds
fold the other rectangle in half
glue both rectangles
and decorate it
remember you can use different types of paper or leave it like that
use cardstock figures, stickers and everything you want
use cardstock figures, stickers and everything you want
when you finish writing the message, the card will be ready
you´ll have different types of cards, this with the heart in the middle
this one with double hearts
and this last with triple hearts
do these cards, it´s really easy, try to make your own design
