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 tried this one today, and I'm disappointed that hte snowflakes I used as popups look at the base of the card rather than facing the recipient. Have you any idea what I've done? I did use a 2" punch because I don't have a 1�" punch, and I didn't seem to have as many spirals as in the picture. Do you think this is the problem? TIA for any help you can give me!

I'm just guessing - maybe you need to flip them over or could they be too heavy for your spiral. I have done bats and hearts and they weren't very heavy and they floated just fine. If you attach them with glue dots - you can open your spiral and then place the embellishments. That might help. Good luck.

Thank you for your help! I did try that and it looks about the same. A friend here suggested I try making the snowflakes double sided, but that didn't work, either. I guess they could be too heavy, because I put glitter on them, but they aren't as big as the butterflies used in the picture tutorial. I've put it aside for now and will try again later. Thanks again!
