DIY Cat Birthday Card

Making your own pop up cards is great! After all little kids all love making cards for friends and family as they cannot physically go into a shop and buy them. 

It is a more personal to send a homemade card to someone than one you bought in a shop. My pop up cat card craft can be sent to anyone who loves cats. You can also use some of my cat coloring pages for the front of a card. Just color in and then stick onto some cardstock!

I think it would make a great greeting card for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, a Birthday or even a get well soon card. You can ask the child to personalize it with whichever message they wish.
