How To Make 8-bit Popup Cards

By John Yong, 16 May 2012

Stay-home mom Kate Lilley has created a tutorial on how to make 8-bit minimalistic popup cards.

The steps are easily crafted—suitable for teenagers and adults to do.

To make the card, you would need: paper, a craft knife, ruler that’s preferably metal, a cutting mat, and a needle.

Download either card templates from Lilley’s website: Space Invader, Skull; and the envelope template.

Use scissors to trim around the edge of the template.

Using a needle and ruler, cut and score along the lines on the template.

Then fold the card in half—ensuring that the shape pops out.
