2. Pop-Up Birthday Cake Card

Pop-up cards add an element of surprise and excitement, and a birthday cake theme makes it even more fun.

To create this, fold your cardstock and cut slits in the center to form layers that can pop out when the card is opened. Decorate each layer as a cake tier using colored paper, glitter, and stickers. Add paper candles on top and a small message that says “Make a Wish.”

For extra flair, you can include small confetti inside the card that gently falls out when opened. Kids especially love this playful design, and it makes any birthday celebration feel extra festive.
