Frequently Asked Questions
Are pop up cards suitable for kids?
Absolutely - animal, dinosaur and unicorn designs are perennial favorites, and the pop-up action itself delights children. Just keep them away from toddlers who might tear the delicate layers.
How long does a pop up card last?
Decades, if kept dry and out of direct sunlight. The paper used in quality pop up cards is the same acid-free stock as fine art prints, which is why so many become keepsakes.
One card, zero risk of being forgotten.
