Card making has become a passion for me since I discovered it 5 years ago. I have encountered many ideas as I go but the one that stands out for me best is the pop up card. At first, I had no idea how to make pop up cards but I was surprised that once you get the hang of it, they’re actually very easy. I have made a post on how to make these 3D cards with very easy popup card tutorials.
There are also special cutting dies that help you create pop up cards and you can use almost any stamp sets you have. My go to are Penguin Palace Stamps and RAM Stamps, they both have clear and digital stamp sets. Their stamp designs are very cute!
Without further ado, here are 50 pop-up handmade card ideas to get you inspired in your cardmaking journey.

Over the years, I made countless pop up cards for birthdays, Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving, thank you cards, for wedding, anniversaries, and just about any and every day occasions. Here is a collection of all the pop up cards I made.
