To make your pop up card, you will need: Cricut Maker or Explore Air 2 machine, cutting mat, cardstock paper, foam adhesive sheets, scissors and/or craft knife, pens or markers for decorating.
1. Gather Design Inspiration
Before you start making your pop up card, take some time to browse through Cricut’s library of images and fonts for inspiration.
You can find many free designs that are perfect for creating a pop up card. Choose one or two images and fonts that you like best.
2. Prepare Your Cardstock
Once you have chosen the design for your card, it’s time to prepare your cardstock. Measure out two pieces of 8.5 x 11 inch cardstock paper and cut each one into four equal parts using scissors or a craft knife.
3. Cut Your Design
Using your Cricut Maker or Explore Air 2 machine, load the cutting mat with the cardstock and select your design from the library. Follow the instructions onscreen to cut out your design from the cardstock.
4. Assemble Your Card
Once your design has been cut out of the cardstock paper, it’s time to assemble your pop up card! Glue two pieces of foam adhesive sheets together with their sticky sides facing each other.
Now place one of your cut-out designs onto this sticky sheet so that it is stuck in place. Now carefully fold along the center of the design so that it takes shape as a 3D pop-up shape.
Next glue another piece of foam adhesive sheet onto another piece of cut-out design with its sticky side facing down. Stick this onto the reverse side of first piece (with 3D shape) so that when opened together they form a whole 3D pop-up shape.
Finally decorate both sides of your pop up cards as desired using pens or markers.
5. Enjoy Your Creation!
Once you have finished assembling and decorating your 3D pop-up cards, it’s time to enjoy them!
