Default Card Weight Problems...Help

I have been using the heavy card stock and when I make a card that opens from the bottom when I put it on the top of a table it just lays flat....Any suggestions I wanted to send this card off I made but the weight is too heavy to stay up right...Thanks...

Are you scoring and pressing the fold really, REALLY well? Sometimes that will help keep the card more closed so it won't fall flat.

That's what I was going to say! I can't really think of anything else you could do... Unless you cut out the centers of your layers. KWIM? If you have multiple layers of cardstock, just have enough to frame your images, and cut out what you don't see. It might lighten it up a bit.
