Pop up card covers

Before you even open the card you can have a pop up.



To make the card to the  top card you will need:

• Paper- with a design on it
• Cardstock
• X-Acto knife
• Cutting board
• Sticky pads
• Paper butterfly

1. Cut the shape of your designed paper. I made mine a rectangle.
2. Make sure the design has shapes on it that you can cut out.
3. Cut out a shape that runs off of your paper. I cut out the flower on the corner. Put all unattached pieces to the side.
4. If you have a whole object on the page you can cut part of it. Look at the leaves on mine.
5. I had a paper butterfly that I found in my desk drawers.
6. Take a sticky pad and put it under the objects to make them stick up, place the objects that were on the edge that you cut out, a little bit farther from the edge.
