DIY Modern Valentine Pop-Up Cards

Pop up cards have always fascinated me! They’re so simple but so brilliant. In my head I have all these lofty aspirations of making those crazy fancy ones with lots of different levels and layers, but I figured — maybe start small? So here we have it! A simple, modern take on a pop-up card that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day.

And don’t tell Mr. Lovely but this is for him. Remember our past DIY battles at Valentine’s Day (see  here, here, and here.)? Instead of buying things for each other we had to make something, and he would beat the pants off me every single time with something insanely thoughtful and cool. (Except for maybe the dino Valentine. I dominated that year.) Well this little beauty is for him so he’s got his work cut out if he’s going to try to top it.

This also just so happens to be my first project over at eHow! I’m pumped to say I’ll be contributing over there from time to time this year, so head over to get the full how-to and make these little pop-ups for all of your Valentines. Happy making! xoxo
