Get ready to make jaws drop with this adorable circle pop out card that’s guaranteed to bring smiles! Forget boring flat cards – we’re creating eye-catching dimension today with a clever circle element that pops forward from the card front.

I’m obsessing over how these “You Make Every Day Special” and “Thank You” cards turned out! The magic happens when that circle sentiment pops out from the card base, creating the most delightful visual surprise.

The technique might look complicated, but I promise it’s easier than you think. Once you master this fold, you’ll be addicted to making them for every occasion.
