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.

I put a little spin on the one I just did. I made the spiral out of acetate on a black Halloween card, JackOLanterns pop up, and for a minute, you can't tell how, since the spiral is clear! I will have to post a picture soon. I just wanted to share the idea of doing it with acetate. Thanks so much for a great tutorial~

Thank you so much for this idea. I had to birthday cards to fellow card makers (one is my Stampin Up Demonstrator) and this was the greatest idea. I also designed my Halloween card and have bats flying on the spirals. Thank you for sharing. It couldn't have come at a better time.

Thanks for sharing this! Some people are so stingy with their "secret designs" - it's a bit sad. You guys always share, and I appreciate it so much! xx
