Pop Up Cards

   How cute is this?  Pretty darn cute.  Birthdays, lemonade stand invitations/props, Mother's Day(that's coming up....), all those things....need a pop up card!  

   These are actually easy to make. I got my crafty craving a few days ago, but only had a few minutes to craft, craft, craft!  So, I found a cute, easy, and fast craft.  Here it is....

Strong paper, printer paper, scissors, embellishments, and glue.

Make a card out of your strong paper.  Then, cut your flimsy paper, so it has the same width as your card, but a shorter length.  Fold on half. 

Cut slits in your folded flimsy paper.  Make sure you are cutting in the fold.  DON'T cut all the way, just slits.

Unfold your flimsy paper.  Place some glue on both, long sides.

Glue on your card, right where the card fold is.  Then, pop up your slits.  (Look at the picture above if this is confusing.)

Glue on your embellishments.  The ones you want to pop need to be glued on the popping slits.

Fold down a few times. Be gentle so the embellishments don't get all ruined.  After a few folds, the pop up should naturally pop up.
