LEARN TO MAKE EASY THANK YOU POP-UP CARDS WITH YOUR CRICUT CUTTING MACHINE

Most fo you who follow this blog know that my husband and I are foster parents. Well, we just recently were placed with a baby boy. We have had family and friends really step up and give us clothes, diapers, and advice. I wanted to make something to show how much we appreciate the support so I designed this Thank You Pop-Up Card.

This card does not require the pens. I know, you are shocked. You know I love my Cricut Pens but I decided to use the cutout method for the front. I think it turned out really cute.

In this tutorial, I’ll give you my step by step instructions and tell you what materials I think work best when making this project.

You can download the SVG file for this project at the bottom of this post.
