1) Pop - Up Card
These cards do exactly as the name suggests – when the card is opened, images will pop up from the centre. Pop-Up Cards use tabs inside a folded card, cut out from the card blank. The images are stuck onto the bottom section of the tabs to neatly fold down when the card is closed, popping up again when opened!
2) Cascade Card
Cascade Cards are made using two pieces of card, however can be made with a single piece to simplify the process. These cards have two panels that interlock with slots. Once slotted together, the panels spring out similarly to an accordion, then fold flat for posting.
3) Easel Card
An Easel Card is made from one piece of card, using a variety of folds to form a front panel, a base panel and a stand – holding it up much like an easel would hold a canvas. You'll also need a variety of card, paper, dies, embellishments and whatever else you'd like to use to decorate.
4) Shaker Card
Shaker Cards are similar to Aperture Cards as they both have a window in the front, however they only fold once to create two panels. This window will then hold glitter or embellishments, sealed in with acetate. Once you've cut out your shape in the front panel, you need to use a foam sheet to create space between the acetate and a back panel so that the glitter can move around. Once the space is filled, simply glue on the back panel to hold it all together. The card will then open like a Standard Fold Card.
5) Diorama Card
Slightly more complex, Diorama Cards use several pieces of card taped or glued together, allowing you to build up a 3D scene with designs. They feature several card folds, a window with a design in the background, and designs glued onto the foreground – creating lots of dimension. There are many ways to make these cards, however the finished product will always have multiple layers to give incredible depth. Once complete, Diorama Cards fold flat for posting.
6) Spinner Card
A Spinner Card is a simple idea – when you move the card to each side, the 'spinner' on the card will slide along with it. To make, you need to cut a long box out of a piece of card and layer it on top of a card blank. The spinner can be made using two coins or coin-like embellishments, layered together with a foam pad – the spinner image is then stuck on top. These coins are then placed within the long box and will slide to the side when moved.
7) Panorama Card
A Panorama Card is basically an extremely complex Aperture Card. Instead of one window cut out of a card to reveal a design, there are several layers of card with several windows of different shapes and sizes, each forming intricate three dimensional scenes. Panorama Cards are all about using multiple detailed layers, images, designs, sentiments and embellishments to tell a beautiful story.
