Pop-out cards are perfect for any occasion where you want the recipient to be surprised when opening their card. Pop-out cards are like normal cards except there is a party happening on the inside! They are great cards to be displayed or played with by opening them over and over. This tutorial is going to show three levels of pop-out mechanisms (easy to more involved) that can be added to the inside of any handmade card.
