The Magic of Pop Up Cards

Giving cards is a special way to connect with your friends and loved ones and say,

“Hey, I am thankful for having you around” or,

To reach out to someone and say, “I am here for you, and our friendship is for keeps.”

And nothing beats the wonderful feeling of receiving and opening a handmade pop up card.

Pop up may seem complicated, but it is actually easy and fun to make. It is also a cool hands-on craft project to do with your kids and great for any occasion!

Here's a simple step-by-step guide crafted for kids and for all ages!

Ready. Craft. Cut!

Materials

Thick white paper
Colored construction paper
Glue and scissors
Ruler
Colored pencils, magic markers, crayons (or whatever coloring materials you might have)

Instructions

Step 1. Make the base of our pop up card.

Fold the colored construction paper on the longer side (any color you want) and cut it along the crease.

Fold one of the halves again, and keep the other one.

Step 2. Sketch your main bird.

On the middle crease, draw a diamond outline (inner fold vertically facing you) to where you want the beak to be placed.

Play with assorted shapes to draw our main bird's body.

Draw googly eyes, beautiful wings, and little feet!

Step 3. Let’s make the beak pop up.

Trace and cut the bottom part of the beak from the other side of the paper.

To achieve the pop-up effect, push from the back, then pinch the crease.

Step 4. Decorate the card by drawing more birds and color them.

Step 5. Glue your card on a colored paper for a beautiful finish!

Abracadabra! Here’s our fluffy bird friendship card!
