Popup Birthday Card Ideas

I think I was about nine years old when I first saw a popup book .

I was thrilled with the idea and thats how I've started collecting those incredible books. 
On my last trip to Barcelona I bought this amazing popup book Alice’s adventures in wonderland,for my kids (kids are a good excuse for lots of things…)

I’ve made these popup birthday cards, as invitations for my son’s birthday party.

I’ve got the idea and the free printable birthday card templates, from the beautiful blog www.minieco.co.uk by Kate Lilley.

It’s the first time that I make a popup birthday cards. Making them was such a fun that I’m quite sure it is a beginning of a new addiction….

Here’s the tools I’ve used:

A Self Healing Cutting Mat, Glue Stick, Crafts Bone Folder(I didn’t have so I used a pin), Metal Ruler, Pencil, a Cutting Tool: Craft Knife, Scissors.

I’m looking for another popup challenge now, so please Let me know if you have any idea for me…Thanks.

Birthday Card Ideas

Homemade Birthday Card

I love handmade birthday cards. It takes a little time to make, but it's so fun. This birthday card was made out of a cereal box. I drew the body parts, cut them out and sewed them. I gently attached the figure (with Cello Tape) to the green background of the card so it could be removed later (if the birthday child would like to play with it). Finally, I added a tiny jacket 

As you can see the possibilities are endless...
