Spiral Pop-Up Card

by Corinne Somerville

Create this fun pop up card in a few easy steps.

Supplies

  • One 5 ½” x 8 ½” piece of cardstock for the card base

  • One 5 ¼” x 8 ¼” piece if cardstock for the card liner

  • 1 ¾” Circle Punch

  • Scissors

  • Glue Dots

  • Sticky Strip™

  • Stamps

  • Ink

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Attach the 5 ¼” x 8 ¼” liner cardstock onto the 5 ½” x 8 ½” card front.

    The liner is required to give the card extra weight to handle the spring action.

  2. Step 2

    Punch a 1 ¾” circle out of cardstock.

    Starting from the outside, create a spiral by cutting in a continuous circle approximately 1/8” around until there is about a ¼” left uncut in the center.

  3. Step 3

    Place a small piece of Sticky Strip in the center of the spiral.

  4. Step 4

    On the opposite side that you placed the Sticky Strip in the center, place a piece of Sticky Strip on what will be the tail of the spiral.

  5. Step 5

    Attach the spiral to the center of the card's inside on the bottom half of the liner.

  6. Step 6

    To attach the top part of the spiral to the card, simply close the card and press firmly to make sure the Sticky Strip is well attached to the top and bottom of the card.

  7. Step 7

    This is what the attached spiral will look like.

  8. Step 8

    Roll up glue dots and attach to the spiral where pop ups will be attached to the card.

  9. Step 9

    Adhere pop ups to the glue dots.

  10. Step 10

    Decorate your card front.

This is great! All kinds of potential for embellishments - birthdays, holidays, etc. and those tiny stamps that I've only used on envelopes. I really want to try this!
Thanks very much ~

This is just great. Remember making these as snakes with the children when they were small. Would never have thought to use them in a card.
Great pictures and lovely simple tutorial (needs to be for me) will certainly give this one a go.
Thanks for all your hard work.

Sometimes pop up cards can be very time consuming and difficult to make. This, however looks possible and the step by step directions are great. I have a belated bday card to make and now I have my inspiration. Thanks.... ON to the stamping room.
