How to use this list
Start by choosing two folded blank cards. Use flower petal templates to trace petals onto colored cardstock, then cut them out with child-safe scissors. Cut stems and leaves from green construction paper, and use yellow tissue paper for centers or soft accents. Fold and place the pop-up pieces inside the cards before attaching them with glue sticks or a small amount of double-sided tape. Add messages with washable markers and finish with small heart stickers.
Common mistakes
Do not glue every flower layer flat if the goal is a pop-up card. Test the card opening and closing before attaching final details. Keep tissue paper pieces small so they do not interfere with the fold. Use an eraser to correct pencil marks before adding glue or markers.
