CUT THE CARD STOCK FOR THE POP-UP CARD
Cut a piece of card stock to the desired size.
Next, fold the card stock in half. Cut two parallel slits on the folded side of the paper, about one inch apart and about one inch long. I’d encourage you to play around with the length of these cuts.
Next, fold the tab up and crease it.
Open up your card.
And then pop the paper toward the inside of the card.
INVITE YOUR CHILD TO CREATE A POP-UP CARD
Cut a piece of colorful construction paper, the same size or slightly bigger than the card stock. Glue the card stock to the construction paper. Be sure that you don’t glue the “pop-up” section down.
Set up the blank pop up card and a bucket of crayons as an invitation for your child to create.
MAKE THE POP-UP DESIGN FOR YOUR CARD
Ask your child to think of what he or she would like to pop off of the card. My five-year old made two cards: one had a space theme and the other had a garden theme. She decided that she wanted https://www.favorpop.com a rocket to pop off the space card and a flower to pop off the garden card. I helped her figure out how tall to make these objects.
Note: If the pop-up objects are too tall, they’ll poke out of the card when it closes
Decorate the cards with crayons, markers, or colored pencils. When the card is done, glue the cheap pop up cards piece in place and let it dry for about an hour.
Check back tomorrow for a GIANT collection of open-ended and process-based cards that kids can make. Until then, here are a few more ideas to keep you busy…

The Chocolate Muffin Tree shares the same technique shared here, with some additional ideas on what to add to the pop-up area: How to make a simple pop-up.
Similar to pop-up cards, try making a peek-a-boo card.
If you like handprint cards, this handprint card from Willowday is really unique.
