Note, the Great Maker Show & Tell Challenge giveaway has ended however, you can see all the project tutorials created for the Challenge here! Each person who contributed to this project idea received an extra entry for their idea. Much gratitude to many readers who requested this unusual card project (Kimberly B., Margaret B., Laurie, Nancy M., Jessica A., Patti S., Beth M., Sheila L., Sandra M., Vicki P.). I made this for my Dad, who would have celebrated his 75th birthday in a couple of weeks if he’d still been with us. It’s modeled after the famous Las Vegas sign. And as I had many requests for a birthday card, I’ve made a FABULOUS retro birthday impossible card. Of course, I couldn’t stop there… I designed a CUSTOM Impossible card. The great thing about using a cutting machine is that the measurements are perfect every time! So I have! In fact, I’ve made several different sizes and orientations, all with various overlays to go with them. Now, most people just cut the impossible card out by hand with scissors or a trimmer, but my readers asked if I’d convert the impossible card template into an SVG cut file they could upload to a cutting machine, like a Cricut. It’s much easier to show than explain, so watch the video to see! Now if you just twist one side of the paper, the card flips around and forms a crazy shape. An impossible card starts out life as a piece of paper with two cuts down either side and one up the middle. So this is a bit of an illusion… it’s a card with a twist. Yet a basic impossible card template is made from just ONE SINGLE piece of paper. If you look at an “impossible card” closely, you see a gap at the top and bottom, but neither appears large enough to account for the “pop up” part. I call it a super easy pop-up card! But I’m guessing it got its “impossible” name from the fact that it looks like it’d be impossible to make. You may also have heard of this referred to as a Hypercard, Illusion Card, or Gap card.
Today I’m going to show you how to make what’s popularly known as the IMPOSSIBLE CARD, which is a great companion to my shaker cards. Learn how to make an impossible card, whether you’re cutting it out by hand or with a cutting machine, using these easy impossible card templates.
