Simple floral pop-up card / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Letter and A4 preserve the component dimensions. Choose the sheet you will print, not a different object size.

Materials and construction

Plain 100 to 140 gsm paper for a first dimensional trial; approximately 160 to 220 gsm card only after confirming the folds. Use a ruler, suitable scissors, a blunt scoring tool and a small amount of paper adhesive. An adult should handle internal cuts, holes and small fasteners.

Before making a batch

Measure the 50 mm reference and two named component dimensions.

Make a complete empty trial and document fold direction, joining order, collision, stability and any fragile features.

Repeat the trial using your chosen paper. Check that every join holds and each moving part works freely before decorating.

Orientation
Portrait

Card opens to 180 x 128 mm. Insert loops use equal opposite faces and 12 mm closing overlap.

From file to finished page

  1. Score the card center and all four loop hinges. Glue only the 12 mm overlap to close each rectangular loop.
  2. Flatten each loop before fixing: glue one exterior face to one card half and the adjacent face to the other, meeting exactly at the card hinge.
  3. Attach the lightweight decoration to the front face only. Close the card slowly and check that no part protrudes or catches.
Printing and use notes

Drawing dimensions describe flat paper surfaces, not verified internal capacity, load strength, fit or material compatibility.

No mailing, food-contact, archival, toy-safety, protective-wear or cutting-machine certification is supplied.

Make a plain-paper trial first; paper thickness and fold accuracy can change the fit.
