It is so satisfying to make and send cards that surprise and elate the recipient, and one way to add an element of surprise to a card is to create a pop-out feature. What’s not to love about a surprise pop-out feature on a greeting card? How about a surprise pop-out feature on the INSIDE of the card? Are you intrigued yet? I am going to show you 3 different ways to create pop-out features for the insides of your cards.

Greetings to you, Robin! I sent off 2 B-day cards on Saturday. I have 6 or 7 to make for November, you have given me a new lease in my stamping life. I am so excited about ALL the cards, especially the last one. That is my very, very favorite.
Thank you so much! I am so excited; you are a genius!
Hi Gloria! Yay! I’m happy you put this project right to work!
Hi Robin, Your cards are all so beautiful! Thanks so much for the pop-out card instructions. I couldn’t remember how to do this and couldn’t even remember what to call it. Though I made the standard, smaller card, your instructions and photos were so very helpful! I really appreciate your sharing of information for this fun and easy technique! Thanks a million!
