Would you like to see what I made for the grandchildren’s valentines? Do you ever see a card creation and say -“That is perfect”- what do I need to buy to make it? That was me when I opened a post of Deb Valder’s at Teaspoon of Fun. She had a pop up card with teddy bears! Yep – had to have the stamp, and the dies! Check it out:
.
You pull the little heart to pull up the inside of the card. When it is flat it fits in an A2 envelope. The ‘Always In My Heart’ Stampin’ Up! set was the pull out greeting.
I will link the Stole My Heart stamp set at Teaspoon of Fun at the end with little Sal in the computer. The dies are available as well at Teaspoon of Fun.
We made these pop up cards years ago in club with the cutting and scoring done manually. I found the instructions carefully documented at Splitcoaststampers. If you would like those instructions click HERE.

Do those cards open up sideways as well?
No, Sal, those cards are a vertical card with a full base that opens up. On the children’s valentines, I didn’t make a full base like those, I left enough space before the “Hi there, Valentine”, to write their name with a white gel pen. These are the products I used that I purchased from Teaspoon of Fun:
