How to Make Pop Up Cards Tutorial
This is Lesson 9 in a series of step by step tutorials on How to Make Pop Ups. 


Vertical Words

Print out (or create your own copy) of template, below.



Cut along the grey lines and fold the valley and mountain folds (red and green lines). Do not cut around the letters (black and blue lines) yet.

Open the card in landscape orientation and push the box forward.

You can see that the letters are printed entirely on the front face of the box. The crease runs across the very top of the letters. Each letter has a tab across the "roof" of the box connecting it to the card.

Flatten the card and cut out around the letters and tabs (black and blue lines). Be careful to leave each letter attached to its tab, and each tab attached to the card.

Cut, fold, and pop up as in the first example.
