Popup Flowers Mother's Day Card

I've seen a lot of cards using this cut-out effect and I thought I'd give it a go. I used my Cricut to cut out the text, then I stuck it on using double sided foam tape. The foam tape raises it slightly from the back ground which gives a great shadow effect.

Using printed scrapbook paper is a great way to add colour and texture to a project like this. It adds another layer of depth and interest. Adding rounded corners softens the shape of the card too.

I used double sided foam tape to stick the flowers together because it's easier than using glue and having to wait for it to dry. I didn't have any normal double sided tape at the time, but I'd use that instead next time so that there's not as much gap between the flowers.

Here's how it looks as it unfolds.
