3 Pop Up Window Holiday Cards

October 5, 2024 by Heather Holbrook

If you’re wanting to make special over the top cards for this Holiday Season try including an interactive element. These 3 darling cards from Jennifer have a fun pop-up in the center that pokes up through a window. The top layer of the card has a die cut textured design with a hole die cut in the middle. The next layer has the pop up shape the same as the window but slightly smaller (nesting dies are perfect for this step!). The pop up is a stamped image with folded cardstock behind that will lay flat when in the envelope but pops up when opened. There’s also a card base inside the card base to give you room to include a note and sentiments inside.

She used Holiday stamps from Mama Elephant for her cards but you can use this fun card design for many different occasions.

Watch her video tutorial on the Jennifer McGuire blog.
