Pop up cards


Hello 
Someone requested tutorial for this card 
That I make for my babyy :)

But I am so lazy to make it once again
Hence, 
I grab some tutorials of making pop up cards from other blogger :)
Hope you don't mind 




BASIC lesson :)






 






  
Now, you’ll measure for your letters, 
so that all the letters are a uniform size. 


  Now you need to sketch in your letters… BACKWARDS. 
It is important that your letters are a mirror image of the actual word, 
so that they will come out right when you flip the paper over 

You can use the picture below as a guide. 
I made the “lines” of my letters half an inch thick, 
and measured them carefully so they would all be very uniform.


Get your craft knife ready, 
because it’s time to cut! 
Remember that the two lines you drew parallel to 
the center fold are FOLD lines, 
and should never be cut. 

Cut all other lines along the edges of the letters, 
without cutting anything fully out except the center of the letter “O”.

These folds should be in the opposite direction of the center fold. 
This can be a little tricky; 
be careful not to tear any of the letters.


Once you have folded each of the letters outward, 
then fold the whole thing in half
 (as it will be when the card is closed)
to make clean creases.


Then put adhesive on ONE side of the back. 
 If you are using glue,
 it is essential to avoid “slop” or 
your card may accidentally get stuck together!


Tuck the liner into the card and center it. 
Try to attach things with the card half-folded;
 if it is fully open, the card may later resist closure. 

Press everything down firmly. 
You will need to get your fingers in there, 
to make sure all the small parts are secure.


Then repeat on the other side.
TA-DA Your Valentine is done, 
all ready to present to your sweetie.







There's more designs for your lover .
COME COME have a look .

Paper Weaved Valentines Heart Tutorial


This weaved heart tutorial is from splaneyo.blogspot.com
Here we go:
To make the Valentine holders, 
you will need two pieces of different colored paper.

I used two jumbo 12 x18″ sheets, 
but it also works with regular sheets –
 you will just get a smaller heart.

Fold each paper in half.

 Cut the folded paper in half.

On the unfolded side, 
cut to round the tops – these will become the top of the heart.

On the folded side cut your strips for weaving. 
I used 4 strips and that seemed to be 
a manageable amount for 2 graders. 
Each strip was 1 1/2″ and 
I cut up the piece 6 1/2″. 

Whatever size paper you are using, 
when cutting the length of the strips be sure 
to leave a little bit of wiggle room because 
you will need it to weave in the final strip.

To begin weaving, hold each paper, 
folded side down, at a 90 degree angle.

Starting with the upper strip, 
begin weaving through the strips.
 Just remember “through”.

Once you are you are ready to weave your final strip, 
make sure that all of the other woven strips 
are pushed upwards because 
you are going to need the “wiggle room” 
you allowed for when cutting the strips.

Once the final strip is woven, 
push all of the woven strips down – 
it just looks better.


The final check – open the heart. 
If you did it right, 
your should have a pocket.

The last step is to add a handle. 
You can cut a strip of paper for the handle, 
or use some string. 
I found some cute heart brads,
 so we attached our handles with those.

 Pixelated popup card


How to

1. Download the popup insert template and print out.
 I used paper but a thin card would probably be OK too. 
Using some scissors trim around the edge of the template.

2. Using a craft knife and ruler cut and score your card. 
See diagram below for more detail.
(If you have a cutting machine then see note at end of post!)



cut along the black lines and score the grey lines.


3. Make the four valley folds as show below 
(thin yellow lines shown in fig. 3).

4. Slowly fold the top of the card inwards and 
the bottom half of the heart should begin to push out. 

(You don’t need to tape it to the table…
I did because I was taking pictures at the same time!)


5. Fold card completely in half and smooth down

6. Make outer card and glue/tape popup insert inside. 
I just used a plain piece of paper which measured 
.5cm x 19cm and then folded it in half.
