Interesting pop-up designs can be produced by making two cuts to a backing card and bending the card inwards so that it forms a small stand (inside the card). |

A slightly more difficult pop-up card can be produced by making the stand
separately. This can be seen below. Remember to include tabs as these will
be the surfaces that are used to glue the stand to the card. The diagram with the tiger shows how an image can be added to an internal stand. Drawings / images can be placed on the stand so that when the card is opened the image ‘pops’ up. |

Internal stand
mechanisms are normally glued on to the inside faces of greetings card.
When the greetings card is opened the internal stand mechanism ‘stands
up’. This is a simple and effective means of producing a pop-up greetings card. |
| The sample pop-up greetings
card, shown below, has an image of a tiger glued to the internal stand. As
the greetings card is opened the tiger appears. The tiger has been glued
on to an extra stand. The extra stand has tabs, which allow it to be glued
to the original pop-up stand. Graphics / illustrations and colour could be added to the rest of the stand. These could include a landscape such as a jungle habitat or of a zoo. |
