Designing Custom 3D Pop-Up Cards from Scratch for Cricut is your step-by-step path to engineering show-stopping paper art that opens with a wow. Whether you’ve only made flat cards or you’re brand new to your cutting machine, this course demystifies the mechanics behind pop-ups and shows you exactly how to design, cut, and assemble stunning 3D cards for birthdays, holidays, thank-yous, and more. You’ll start by choosing the right cardstock and tools, then master essential popup mechanisms like parallel folds and V-folds—learning how angles, tabs, and clearance work together so your creations open smoothly and stay hidden when closed. Inside Cricut Design Space, you’ll set up precise cuts and scores, attach layers correctly, and elevate your projects with Print Then Cut graphics. You’ll also personalize designs, size them for standard envelopes, adapt existing SVGs, and prepare files for batch production. Along the way, you’ll pick up professional assembly techniques, adhesive best practices, and troubleshooting strategies to fix catching and weak folds. By the end, you’ll confidently transform ideas into custom-engineered pop-up cards that look polished, mail easily, and delight recipients. No prior 3D experience required—just your Cricut, cardstock, and a love for clever, kinetic design.

            <p>Ever looked at a plain, flat greeting card and thought it was just a bit... meh? We’ve all been there. But thanks to electronic cutting machines like the Cricut, the days of struggling with a pair of scissors and a ruler to make something special are long gone. This course is all about taking your paper crafting from "nice" to "how did you even make that?" by diving into the world of 3D pop-up cards. We’re moving past basic digital cuts and getting into the real engineering of paper. You’ll learn how to create that incredible "wow" factor where a flat piece of cardstock transforms into a moving, standing piece of art the second someone opens it.</p>

<p>We’re going to break down the technical stuff into bite-sized pieces, starting with the basics of paper weight—because nobody wants a floppy card that won't stand up. You’ll get hands-on with the mechanics of parallel folds and V-folds, which are basically the secret sauce behind every cool pop-up you’ve ever seen. We’ll also spend some quality time in the software, figuring out how to tell your Cricut exactly where to cut and where to just make a crease so your project folds perfectly instead of falling apart. By the time we’re done, you won’t just be following store-bought templates; you’ll be designing your own custom 3D masterpieces from scratch, making sure they fit perfectly in an envelope and look professional enough to show off to everyone you know.</p>
