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.
