INSTRUCTIONS

There are two main types of pop-up cards on this site: printed color cards which are folded so that the color picture pops out when you open the card, and so called "ink free" cards, where the black cut and fold guide is printed on the reverse side of the paper so it becomes invisible when the card is finished. The picture emerges from a blank "ink free" sheet of paper.

If a card needs instructions which are specific to that design they will be included with the template. The general instructions here describe the techniques for making all the cards:
