Diy Pop Up Cards

DIY pop-up cards are handmade cards that have a three-dimensional element that pops up when the card is opened. They can be made for any occasion, and are a fun and creative way to express yourself.

To make a DIY pop-up card, you will need:

• Cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Pop-up card printables (optional)
• Art supplies to decorate with (markers, glitter, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Fold the cardstock in half to create the base of your card.
2. Design your pop-up element. This can be anything you like, such as a flower, a birthday cake, or a holiday character. If you are using pop-up card printables, simply cut out the element and follow the instructions on the printable.
3. Cut slits on the card base where you want your pop-up element to go. The slits should be the same length as the width of your pop-up element.
4. Fold the tabs on your pop-up element inwards.
5. Insert the tabs of your pop-up element into the slits on the card base.
6. Glue the tabs in place.
7. Decorate your card! You can use markers, glitter, stickers, or anything else you like to make your card unique.

Once you are finished decorating, your DIY pop-up card is complete! You can now give it to a friend or loved one for a special occasion.

Here are some tips for making DIY pop-up cards:

• Use heavier cardstock or construction paper for your card base. This will help to keep your card from being too flimsy.
• Make sure to cut the slits on your card base carefully. If the slits are too big or too small, your pop-up element may not work properly.
• Fold the tabs on your pop-up element inwards sharply. This will help to keep your pop-up element in place when you glue it in.
• Be creative with your pop-up element design! There are endless possibilities.

I hope this helps!
