| 6 simple steps to create a pop-up greeting card. Pop-up cards are a great twist on the ordinary greeting card. They are enormously fun to create and the recipient of your card will be delighted! Most people don’t expect to see something pop out at them when they open a homemade card, so surprise that person you care about with a little skill and a lot of fun! |
| Step 1 |
 |
| Cut out a piece of card sized coloured paper. |
| Step 2 |
 |
| Fold it in half lengthways. |
| Step 3 |
 |
| Make two cuts. Make these about 1 inch (3 cm) long. The cut should be made in from the folded edge of the card in order to make a flap. |
| Step 4 |
 |
| Fold the flap over on to the front. Then fold it on to the back of the card. Open the card and push the flap up toward you. Pinch the middle to crease it. |
| Step 5 |
| Decide what you want to pop up. It could be a picture of a gift, or a name, or a heart, or anything that takes your fancy. Cut out your pop-up shape and glue it on to the flap. |
| Step 6 |
 |
| Write your message inside or choose one of our free card verses, insert your card inside the envelope and give to your intended recipient. |
