Llama Pop-Up Card

While I mostly make little houses, I do like to make other 3-D paper crafts including Pop-Up cards. I have a simple technique that allows you to turn any figure or sentiment into a pop-up card.

Here's my example - the Llama Pop-Up Card. You can get the files from the 2024 Card Maker Success Summit.

After March 10, 2024, this card is only available by purchasing the VIP pass. Later this year, I will be allowed make the file available to you for free.

But you can get other ideas of simple pop-up cards in this post. See the Simple Pop-Up Cards tutorial.

I made a cute llama pop-up for the Card Maker Success Summit March 2024.
