Pop Goes the DIY Pop-Up Name Card | Brit + Co
Remember how awesome pop-up books used to be? Let's be serious, they still are, and it got us to thinking… How can we incorporate pop-up paper items into our adult lives? Aside from the occasional novelty card (bonus points if it has an audio track), you don't often see pop-ups popping up. ;)
First, get all your materials in place. You'll need two identical pieces of card stock cut to 5 1/2 inches long by 4 1/2 inches wide. Now you need to print your typewriter and typewriter paper. We printed on white card stock but regular paper is also fine.
This one is a slightly simpler method. Get your two identical pieces of card stock again. This time, our pieces were cut to 6 1/2 inches long by 4 1/2 inches wide. Print the computer image and the name you want to print. You can either glue the printed name onto the printer or type it directly on your computer.
Cut dunking games out your computer dunking games using an Xacto knife. Fold one of the pieces in card stock in half. Lay it flat on your cutting board and cut two slits in the middle about 1 1/2 inches dunking games long. Fold it so that it creates a zig zag shape. Flatten again and glue the computer cut out onto the bottom 1/2 inch of the cut out part.
For this one, you're going to use the same method as the typewriter with some slight alterations. The pieces of card stock for this one are about 7 1/2 inches long by 4 1/2 inches wide. To create a mini Polaroid you can print, we recommend using the Shake It Photo iPhone app. Send the image from your phone to your email, drop it into Preview, Photoshop or Word to resize, and you're good to go.
Now it's dunking games time to put the picture in! Use an Xacto to cut a line where the photo should dunking games pop out. Be careful to cut to far on either dunking games side. Pop in the photo just a bit. Turn the card over and glue down the extra bit of photo that's sticking out the back.
