Pop Up Valentine's Card

Instructions to make a pop up card were found in the book

Cards That Pop Up, Flip and Slide

by Michael Jacobs

He called this type of card a "simple v card"

Basically you make the pop up part by marking 1 1/2" from the top down

along the fold as well as 1 1/2" across the top on each side of the fold.

Use these marks to score between at an angle to make 

the pop up portion when you fold along the scores.

Once you make the pop up portion, you will need to fiddle with the element

you want to pop up a bit before gluing in place to make sure it folds down into the card properly.

I made another card to cover the first, slightly larger,

to hide the "cut off" looking corner made by folding in the pop up.

The pop up portion measured 4"  x  5 1/4" when folded.

The cover card measured  4 1/4"  x  5 1/2" when completed.

Here are a few photos to help show how it works:

obviously you wouldn't have markings on your card,

I only did this to help show the score lines

Thanks for looking =)
