CardPop UK takes greeting cards to the next level and makes any celebration even more exciting. Our unique range of pop-up cards ensures your message makes a big impression and leaves your recipient with a memorable token of their special day, whatever the occasion.

If you’ve been getting bored with the usual selection of greeting cards you find on the high street, we can give you new inspiration with delightful cards to mark any event or occasion for any friend, family and loved one to enjoy.

A pop-up card can bring pleasure to whoever you give it to, reminding them of how they enjoyed pop up books and origami when they were younger. Choosing, buying, and sending an extra-special card from our range shows that you put thought and effort into your greeting and value the recipient enough not to have just settled for a standard, mass-produced card..

Just as all of CardPop UK’s pop-up cards in the UK are special, so the story on how these greeting cards came into being is also a unique story.

It all began when CardPop UK’s founder, Chris, visited Thailand in 2019 and discovered the ancient arts of kirigami and origami. While he was there, he selected some of the beautiful cards on offer with intricate pop-up designs inside them, hoping to give them to family and friends when he returned to the UK.

And that gave him the inspiration to take it one step further. He started making his own cards from scratch, applying ancient paper-folding techniques while incorporating more modern techniques like laser-cutting. The result? Unique, eye-catching greeting cards that anyone would be thrilled to receive.

What’s the best thing about greeting cards? Simply put, there’s always a design to suit any occasion you’re celebrating. The same is true when it comes to our cards. It doesn’t matter if you need pop-up wedding cards or birthday cards. With our massive collection of designs, you’ll always find just what you’re looking for.

Shop in our store for cards relevant to the special occasion you’re celebrating. It could be a birthday, an anniversary, or Christmas, or you could be looking for extra-special pop-up Valentine’s cards.

You could be looking for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day pop-up cards, or you could be searching for the perfect card for a friend who’s just had a new baby. There are literally hundreds of designs to choose from, each of them suited to different occasions.

You can also shop for cards based on a theme rather than an occasion. For example, if you know the recipient loves cherry blossom, you can browse through our wide range of cards that feature this enduringly popular design. It doesn’t matter whether you need pop-up birthday cards or one for your anniversary. She’ll love to see her favourite flower come alive the moment she opens that card. We have cards for children and for adults and feature every imaginable theme and design, from orchids and teddy bears to tractors and golf.

With the wide variety of different designs available to fit every occasion and every type of recipient, it can be tough sometimes to choose the right card. Don’t worry, because we’re here to guide you and help you find the perfect match.

So how do you choose the perfect card?

The main consideration should be the person you’re giving it to. Everyone has their own personality, likes and dislikes, so if you know even just a little bit about them, you should be able to choose a card that matches their preferences.

For example, a man who’s interested in sport might like a pop-up birthday card featuring a football theme, a basketball court, a boxing ring popping out of its centre. If he’s less keen on sports, but you know he likes his cars, there are cards with racing cars to choose from.

A young son or nephew who’s recently shown an interest in pirates would love a card with a similar theme, while a young lady who’s musically-inclined would love a pop-up card featuring a piano or a guitar.

You get the idea – and that’s the beauty of shopping for cards here at CardPop UK. Because we have hundreds of designs and themes to choose from, finding the perfect card for almost anyone you know won’t be a problem.

You could also think about memories you share with the person you’re giving a card to or the specific message you want to convey. Perhaps you’re planning a trip away with them, for instance – in which case, you could give your special someone a card showing a plane.

The great thing about our collection is that we also have more generic designs to suit if you’re giving a card to someone you don’t know very well or has simple tastes. You can send a champagne-themed card to a colleague at work who’s just been promoted, or maybe a cute cat-themed card to the kind neighbour who watered your plants when you were away on holiday. You could even buy a card featuring a special bouquet of flowers for a lady you’ve been wanting to get to know better and take that opportunity to invite her out for dinner!
